Alicia Panchal
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Being a young person in today's world is extremely stressful. Children and teens are often going through similar problems that we are as adults (think: shifts in mood, peer pressure, worries of judgement, life transitions, changing hormones and bodies, world events, etc), but with less tools and knowledge on how to cope. Engaging in therapy is a great way for your loved one to gain a better understanding of what they're experiencing, have a safe space to explore all the confusing feelings, and learn longterm, adaptive skills to manage current and future challenges.

Children and teens often express distress through mood changes, withdrawal, anger, anxiety, school difficulties, self-esteem struggles, or conflict at home. I support youth in a developmentally sensitive, collaborative way that helps them feel heard while building coping skills, emotional awareness, and healthier communication.

Ajax is a lakefront Durham Region town east of Toronto, one of the Greater Toronto Area's most diverse communities, with large Black, South Asian, and Filipino populations and many young families commuting west. Mental health needs centre on commuter and financial strain, newcomer settlement, and youth wellbeing in fast-growing schools. Lakeridge Health provides regional services, and the GTA's large therapy market — plus virtual care — extends access.
