It doesn't matter how close we are to our family, friends or teachers, being a child or adolescent can be challenging at times. Therapy can provide a comfortable space for children and adolescents to explore the challenges they may be experiencing.

Simona Ilieva
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, 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.

Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
Adolescence brings its own set of pressures — school, friendships, anxiety about the future, and the push toward independence. I work with teens navigating these transitions, offering a space where they can be honest without fear of judgement, and helping them build confidence, coping skills, and a stronger sense of who they are.

I believe that the majority of the problems brought to me originate in the early years. It is for this reason that I often refer to these and connect them to the work I am doing with them in the present.

Guelph is an Ontario university city home to the University of Guelph, particularly renowned for its veterinary college, agricultural programs, and biological sciences, and the mental health landscape here reflects both the distinctive stresses of veterinary and agricultural education—which carry some of the highest burnout and mental health burden of any professional training—and the broader needs of a growing, diverse university community. The city is part of Ontario's southwestern technology and manufacturing corridor, and a growing innovation economy has added a professional tech class alongside the traditional university community. Guelph General Hospital and the Homewood Health Centre—a nationally known mental health and addiction treatment facility based in Guelph—anchor local services, and a private therapy sector serves the wider community. Common therapy concerns include veterinary and agricultural training burnout, student mental health, anxiety, life transitions in a rapidly growing city, and the particular stresses of professional programs with high academic and emotional demands.
