Donald Hill
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div., M.Th., RMFT, RP
While I do not work with youth under the age of 18, 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.

Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Our teenage years can be an adventurous and enjoyable journey into adulthood, but they can also be among the most difficult periods of our life. At times, family and friends are not enough to navigate complex emotions, doubts and concerns related to self-esteem, identity, sexuality, and relationships. I provide safe and beneficial support for youth who want to learn new coping skills to better address those challenges and flourish in their lives.

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.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel stressed, on edge, or misunderstood? Many young people grow up learning to push down their thoughts and feelings to get through school, friendships, family expectations, or social pressure. You may have been told to “calm down”, “toughen up”, or that your feelings are too much or not serious enough. Over time, this can make it hard to understand yourself or feel heard.
These emotions aren’t wrong or dramatic, they’re important signals about what you need and what you’re going through. What matters is how we respond to them when they show up. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, build healthier ways to cope, and help you feel more in control, supported, and lighter over time. You feel things deeply for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
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.
