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.

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.
