Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Growing up comes with a unique set of emotional, social, and academic pressures, and when children or teens struggle, it impacts the entire family system. Whether your child is navigating overwhelming anxiety, behavioral challenges, big life transitions, or difficulties with self-esteem, I provide a safe, engaging, and non-judgmental space where they can feel truly heard. Working collaboratively with both youth and their families, we use evidence-based cognitive behavioural strategies to build emotional resilience, strengthen coping tools, and foster healthier communication so everyone can thrive.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
I particularly understand what it is to be a parent: I have 4 sons, now grown and 8 grandchildren. I have also learned a lot through my clients and from professional development courses. Parents must address all of their children's' needs, in addition to their own and teach their children to address every single one of those needs when they become adults. Growing up is not easy and adolescence can be a particularly tough time. Please reach out and let your community help.
