When working with children, we appreciate their unique ability to process emotions and situations in a concrete way. We utilize playful activities such as games, drawing, and other forms of play to help children understand and make sense of the complex emotions they experience. This approach enables them to continue developing, communicate more effectively, and refine their emerging life skills.
We help children and adolescents find their voice! Learn how to express their feelings and communicate them with adults. Self-esteem and self-image issues, anger issues, anxiety and depression, reactions to divorce, and many other issues can be addressed in our sessions. We offer art therapy, play therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and other techniques to help children and adolescents.
Adolescents face so many issues, bullying, self-esteem, relationships/friendships, family dynamics, body image, gender, depression, anxiety. All of this is compounded by fluctuating hormones and a struggle for independence. We provide a safe supportive environment for them to grow. Let us help your teen learn emotional regulation, coping skills, communication, boundaries and develop into the person they were meant to be.
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As an educator I have taught over 50,000 kids in the last twenty years. I have helped children through academics but most importantly life issues. I studied psychological child development and behavior at the University of Toronto.
I offer a supportive and understanding space for teens (13+) who are navigating the unique challenges of their developmental stages. Growing up can bring about a range of issues, from academic pressures and social difficulties to emotional regulation and self-esteem concerns. Together, we'll explore these challenges, providing tools and strategies to cope with their feelings, improve their relationships, and build confidence in themselves. This process is about empowering them to understand and navigate their world with resilience and hope.
Our team works with adolescents 16 + on a variety of emotional and behavioural issues including anxiety and depression, emotional dysregulation (intense emotions, behavioral outbursts), substance use, self-harm and suicide ideation, interpersonal difficulties, perfectionism, and trauma (including abuse, sexual violence, bullying, criminal victimization). Our adolescent therapists have experience supporting high-risk and justice-involved youth.
Since teens are strongly influenced by their home environment, we do our best to involve parents and family members when appropriate so that they can learn how to best support the adolescent in their life.
Our trained and passionate clinicians are committed to using evidence-based approaches which are tailored to the family's specific needs.
Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We will connect you with a clinician from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.
With a decade of experience working with young people and three years dedicated exclusively to adolescent psychotherapy, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a form of CBT, to address the unique challenges teens face. ACT helps adolescents navigate issues like identity, peer pressure, video game addiction, and emotional regulation by teaching mindfulness and values-based decision-making, empowering them to build resilience and thrive during these formative years.
I have worked with adolescents for over a decade specialising in school stress, emotional coping, family trauma, relationship issues, and sexuality/gender.
Being a child and teen can be difficult. In implementing various treatment modalities, clinicians will work with you to recognize maladaptive behaviors and develop adaptive and more effective coping mechanisms.
