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. In my work with youth, I always meet people where they are at and provide an environment where they can feel safe to explore concerns at a pace that is comfortable for them. I work from a client-centered and collaborative perspective, focusing on the challenges and goals that are important to you.

Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
Adolescence brings its own set of pressures — school, friendships, anxiety about the future, and the push toward independence. I work with teens navigating these transitions, offering a space where they can be honest without fear of judgement, and helping them build confidence, coping skills, and a stronger sense of who they are.

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.
