Karen Skinulis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My area of expertise is in child and adolescent issues. I approach these issues from an Adlerian perspective. I believe that behaviour is socially embedded which means that a child/teen's misbehaviour is directed at a person, very often the parent, For that reason I will use family counseling to address behaviour concerns. We will look at the goals of the behaviours, ie. undue attention-seeking, power, revenge or assumed inadequacy. I will work on creating cooperation in a family through democratic parenting.

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Each child or adolescent responds differently to life's unexpected events. Some of these could be a death in the family, the first of a sibling, bullying, natural disasters, or parental divorce. It's important for the child or adolescent to have healthy social and emotional intelligence in order to lead healthy and happy lives.

Goran Kosanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, HBCom, MACP
Children and adolescents face unique challenges that can impact their emotional well-being, including issues like anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and difficulties with self-esteem. Therapy for young people focuses on providing supportive interventions to address these challenges, using evidence-based techniques such as solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). By working with both the child and family, therapy can help improve communication skills, develop coping strategies, and promote positive behavior changes. Whether navigating school stress, peer pressure, or family dynamics, therapy helps children and adolescents build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and develop the skills they need for a healthy future.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, 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.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Therapy is a helpful outlet for youth transitioning through adolescence. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

If you've found yourself asking yourself "Why am I like this" or "Why do I do this all the time", a lot of times, these issues root back into your childhood and adolescences.

Haimove Amir
Registered Psychotherapist, psychotherapist
I provide individualized therapy and support for children and adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioural, social, developmental, and school-related challenges. Children and teens may struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, emotional regulation, friendships, communication, family changes, attention difficulties, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday expectations. My approach is developmentally appropriate and relationship-based, using play, creativity, conversation, and practical therapeutic strategies to help young people express themselves and build confidence. I also work with parents and caregivers when appropriate, helping families better understand their child's needs and develop supportive strategies at home. My goal is to create a safe environment where children and teens feel heard, respected, and supported.
