Child or Adolescent Issues
Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Growing up can be challenging and sometimes leave youth feeling confused, frustrated, or misunderstood. I strive to make them feel accepted for who they are and feel heard and validated. Promoting a safe and judgment free environment is a priority and necessary for youth to be able to let their guard down and communicate openly. Together we look at areas of life that are challenging for them and identify the factors that are contributing to the difficulties they are experiencing. We then work on managing those areas more effectively by developing positive coping strategies and emotions management skills. I have a passion working with youth and encourage you to book a free consultation.

Mary B Rodenhurst
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA, BSW, MSW RSW
I was a member of the teams that developed and implemented the Adult Anxiety and Affective Disorders Program and the Child and Adolescent Day Treatment Program specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression and psychosis at London Health Sciences Center.
Individual counselling is available for adolescents as well as Family therapy which is a treatment process that uncovers problematic patterns within the family. Work is done together or at times with specific family members. Working with the family helps assists family members to:
• Create opportunities to repair parent/child relationships
• Develop positive co-parenting strategies
• Build communication skills, including improved listening
• Navigate blended family issues
• Build parenting and attachment skills

Sara Sherstobitoff
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, 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.

Melanie Wuytenburg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I provide dedicated support for children and teens navigating the unique challenges of their formative years. I enjoy working with children and youth to help them unfold the complexities of the world around them.
I have extensive experience helping youth with issues including anxiety, depression, grief, anger management, trauma, and self-esteem. I also specialize in supporting youth through complex transitions, such as caregiver separation/divorce, school challenges, and placement changes (foster, adoption, kin care). I offer a safe, confidential space to address self-injury and substance use, empowering your child to build resilience and thrive.
My child-centred framework utilizes creative activities to establish healthy ways of coping. This approach allows your child to better understand their emotions, thoughts, and the world around them.

*Welcoming new clients for immediate booking* I work with youth (10-18) who are looking to better understand themselves and make positive changes in their lives. If you're experiencing emotions that feel overwhelming or out of control, or if you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or are struggling with your self-esteem, let's talk about how I can help. Being a teen is not easy and navigating friendships, family relationships, school, dating, and day to day stress can be very difficult. Whatever the struggle, I'm here to help.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If your child or teenager is struggling, it can feel overwhelming and at times frightening. You may notice changes in mood, behaviour, friendships, school performance, or confidence, and not know how to help. Children and adolescents often express stress, anxiety, grief, or trauma through behaviour rather than words, which can leave parents feeling confused or discouraged.
At Selah Counselling, we create a safe and developmentally appropriate space where children and teens can express what they are experiencing in ways that make sense for their age. We integrate play-based techniques, emotion regulation skills, attachment-focused work, and family collaboration to support growth and stability. We also work closely with parents, providing guidance and practical tools to help you feel equipped and supported. Our goal is to help your child build resilience, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop healthy coping patterns that carry into adulthood, while supporting your family as a whole.

London, Ontario is home to Western University and one of Canada's leading teaching hospitals — London Health Sciences Centre — which together make it a significant hub for medical education and mental health training, feeding a well-developed private practice community. The city's large student population, combined with a substantial healthcare and professional workforce, drives consistent demand for therapists working with academic stress, young adult identity, and the pressures of high-achieving careers. London's growing immigrant community — including large South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African populations — is increasing demand for culturally informed and multilingual therapists. The city's relatively affordable cost of living compared to Toronto and Hamilton makes private therapy accessible to a broader cross-section of the population.
