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.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Children and young people today face many challenges such as: bullying; dealing with the "new normal" of COVID-19 restrictions; academic performance and personal success expectations; peer pressure, fears and trauma; the expectation that being happy is something that should just come automatically; adjusting to natural hierarchies that no longer exist;
personal and oral hygiene; underdeveloped emotional skills; and the unhealthy use of technology and influences of social media. Hypnosis can provide a safe and effective solution to all of these challenges.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Children can often exhibit externalizing or internalizing behaviors when they are unable to express themselves or process/cope with their feelings and emotions. Therapy can be a safe space for children to make sense of their feelings through creative and engaging means. Depending on age, working with young children can entail working with parents on how to best support their child in what they are going through and to give parents a space to reflect on the kind of parent they want to be while expressing concerns or personal challenges they may be experiencing. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Emaan Singh
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
During one-on-one sessions, I incorporate fun and interactive ways to connect with children and guide them in understanding their feelings, emotions, and behaviours. Sessions are designed to support their emotional and psychological well-being during this crucial stage of development. My role is to help them build coping strategies, emotional regulation skills, problem-solving techniques, and healthy communication patterns. I strive to ensure that families leave our sessions feeling supported, cared for, and equipped with effective resources that can be implemented into their daily lives, helping them reach their full potential.
