Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future, I specialize in providing therapy services for children and adolescents, supporting them through the unique challenges they face during their formative years. With over fifteen years of experience in child and youth psychotherapy, I'm dedicated to helping young individuals overcome obstacles and build the skills they need for a brighter future.
Child Therapy / Counselling for Children:
Every child is unique, and their strengths and needs are different. With my extensive experience in child psychotherapy, I can accompany you to understand your child and enter his/her world. By appreciating the impact of experiences in children’s early years, I help children overcome challenges and develop new skills to be equipped for making a brighter future. Play-based methods readily put children at ease, resulting in greater cooperation, which supports them in meeting treatment goals. I have the skills to assess your child from different perspectives to better determine how best to support them.
Youth Therapy:
In youth therapy sessions, I work collaboratively with teenagers to address a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, family conflict, social isolation, trauma, and more. My approach is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual, empowering them to take control of their lives and navigate challenges with confidence.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where young individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build strong, positive relationships.
Whether your child is struggling with academic stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or mental health issues, I'm here to provide the support and guidance they need to thrive. Contact me today to learn more about how I can help your child or teenager navigate the challenges of growing up with confidence and resilience.

Simerpreet Ahuja, Soul Immersion Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD in Psychology
I work with children and adolescents facing a range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, behavioural issues, self-esteem issues and relationship issues. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic, Attachment-Based and Psychodynamic approaches to address these issues effectively. I believe that fostering self-esteem is crucial in empowering young individuals to thrive. Through collaborative therapy sessions, I empower my clients to recognize their strengths, cultivate resilience, and overcome obstacles with confidence. Furthermore, I place great emphasis on establishing healthy boundaries as a cornerstone of mental well-being. By fostering clear communication and self-advocacy skills, I guide my clients in establishing boundaries that promote healthy relationships and emotional well-being. In my work, I integrate principles of secure attachment to nurture healthy connections and support emotional resilience. Through nurturing and supportive interventions, I help children and adolescents build secure attachments, fostering trust, empathy, and emotional regulation. Additionally, I use inner child work, which involves exploring and healing past wounds to promote inner healing and growth. In summary, my therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and evidence-based practices. I believe in creating a nurturing and affirming therapeutic environment where children and adolescents can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and embark on a journey toward holistic well-being.

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.
