Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel stressed, on edge, or misunderstood? Many young people grow up learning to push down their thoughts and feelings to get through school, friendships, family expectations, or social pressure. You may have been told to “calm down”, “toughen up”, or that your feelings are too much or not serious enough. Over time, this can make it hard to understand yourself or feel heard.
These emotions aren’t wrong or dramatic, they’re important signals about what you need and what you’re going through. What matters is how we respond to them when they show up. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, build healthier ways to cope, and help you feel more in control, supported, and lighter over time. You feel things deeply for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
Children and adolescents go through enormous developmental stages. These stages are critical years to help them develop healthy ways to communicate and build a secure attachment with themselves, parents/caregivers, and others. Their social and emotional development are interconnected. My hope is that I can help you attune to your child/adolescent's emotions, discover/attend to their needs, and that your child/adolescent will learn to identify, label, and regulate their emotions in healthy and positive ways.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Victoria Jacobs
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
I support adolescents age 13 and up. Therapy is a non-judgmental space to talk through school pressure, perfectionism, friendship issues, family stress, identity questions, and anything that is adding anxiety or stress. My practice focuses on teens, especially those in high school who are preparing for or beginning university. This season can feel busy and uncertain, and therapy offers a place to sort things out, learn practical tools, and feel more at ease. In session we slow things down, make sense of what is happening, and find small steps that help in real life.

Burlington is one of the most affluent cities in the Greater Toronto Area — situated between Hamilton and Oakville along the western shore of Lake Ontario — with a largely White, upper-middle-class population and a therapy culture shaped by the stresses of high-income suburban family life, corporate careers, and the pressure to maintain prosperity across generations. Joseph Brant Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving the Alton Village, Tansley, and Millcroft neighborhoods. Burlington's relative homogeneity is changing as immigration diversifies the population, with growing South Asian and East Asian communities beginning to shape a broader range of therapy demand. The city's proximity to Hamilton's therapy ecosystem and the broader GTA network means specialist care is generally accessible for those willing to travel or use telehealth.
