Makayla Ciuffreda
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I support adults, kids, and teens with the challenges that come up while growing up like friendships, school stress, family changes, big emotions, or figuring out who you are. Together, we find ways to cope, build confidence, and make things feel a little easier as you navigate everyday life.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If your child or teenager is struggling, it can feel overwhelming and at times frightening. You may notice changes in mood, behaviour, friendships, school performance, or confidence, and not know how to help. Children and adolescents often express stress, anxiety, grief, or trauma through behaviour rather than words, which can leave parents feeling confused or discouraged.
At Selah Counselling, we create a safe and developmentally appropriate space where children and teens can express what they are experiencing in ways that make sense for their age. We integrate play-based techniques, emotion regulation skills, attachment-focused work, and family collaboration to support growth and stability. We also work closely with parents, providing guidance and practical tools to help you feel equipped and supported. Our goal is to help your child build resilience, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop healthy coping patterns that carry into adulthood, while supporting your family as a whole.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Children and teens don't heal the same way adults do—they need someone who meets them in their world. As both a trained therapist and an experienced mother and grandmother, I know how to connect across ages: through play with younger children, walks and activities with teens, and deeper conversations when they're ready. Your child won't feel interrogated or judged—they'll feel understood. Together, we'll create safety where past hurts, family struggles, and overwhelming emotions can finally be expressed and processed at their own pace. Whether your child is anxious, acting out, or withdrawn, healing happens when they feel truly seen and accepted.
