Child or Adolescent Issues
Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future, I specialize in providing therapy services for children and adolescents, supporting them through the unique challenges they face during their formative years. With over fifteen years of experience in child and youth psychotherapy, I'm dedicated to helping young individuals overcome obstacles and build the skills they need for a brighter future.
Child Therapy / Counselling for Children:
Every child is unique, and their strengths and needs are different. With my extensive experience in child psychotherapy, I can accompany you to understand your child and enter his/her world. By appreciating the impact of experiences in children’s early years, I help children overcome challenges and develop new skills to be equipped for making a brighter future. Play-based methods readily put children at ease, resulting in greater cooperation, which supports them in meeting treatment goals. I have the skills to assess your child from different perspectives to better determine how best to support them.
Youth Therapy:
In youth therapy sessions, I work collaboratively with teenagers to address a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, family conflict, social isolation, trauma, and more. My approach is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual, empowering them to take control of their lives and navigate challenges with confidence.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where young individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build strong, positive relationships.
Whether your child is struggling with academic stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or mental health issues, I'm here to provide the support and guidance they need to thrive. Contact me today to learn more about how I can help your child or teenager navigate the challenges of growing up with confidence and resilience.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
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. I also work with families when appropriate to support connection and understanding.

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.

Ryta Marie Peschka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
While I do not work with youth under the age of 16, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation. Since children are often impacted by family dynamics, we often find the most effective way to work with children, ages 6-11, is within the context of family therapy.
