Lennox Cadore
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP(Q)
Teens and youth often struggle to put complex feelings into words, which can show up as anxiety, big emotions, school issues, peer and family conflict, low self esteem, identity questions, and behavioural challenges. In Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I offer a warm, developmentally attuned space for adolescents. Drawing on more than 25 years of community work with youth, including boys' groups in schools, I use CBT, narrative, family systems, and person centred approaches, and partner with parents and caregivers so the whole family can support meaningful change.

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.
