Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

Adolescence can be a challenging time with so many changes that it can feel difficult to find your balance.

I work from a client-centered and collaborative perspective, focusing on the challenges and goals that are important to you.

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.

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.

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.
