Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, supporting children, teens, and families through their formative years is the absolute core of my practice. Drawing on over 20 years of clinical experience as a Registered Psychotherapist and child development author, I specialize in transforming daily behavioral, academic, and emotional challenges into lasting confidence, self-regulation, and deep family peace.
Child Therapy & Parent Support:
Every child has unique strengths, but navigating big emotions, ADHD, or school anxiety can feel overwhelming for the whole household. Using gentle, evidence-based play therapy and art interventions, I quickly put children at ease. This creative approach allows younger clients to externalize and process challenges that are often too complex to put into words. Alongside play-based care, I introduce CleverQuest™ Cognitive Training to physically strengthen working memory, attention, and executive functioning, giving children the tangible tools they need to succeed inside and outside the classroom.
Youth & Adolescent Counselling:
Adolescence brings intense unique pressures. I work collaboratively with teenagers experiencing depression, social isolation, relationship challenges, academic stress, or trauma. Combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with practical Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, I empower teens to short-circuit racing thoughts, quiet intense worrying, and manage peer pressures with genuine resilience.
My goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and family-centered environment where your child feels completely understood and supported. Whether you are seeking practical parenting strategies or specialized mental health support for your teen, contact me today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

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.

Children and teens often express emotional struggles through behaviour, withdrawal, or difficulties at school and home. I create a safe, age-appropriate space for young people to explore their emotions, build emotional language, and develop healthy coping skills.
