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. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation with one of our child and family therapists by visiting https://www.psychotherapycollective.ca/services/child-and-family-therapy

Jennifer Ritchie Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CYW
*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. I have many years of experience working with youth and it would be my honor to support you. You can find further details on my website under "Therapy for Teens". I look forward to connecting with you.

Thunder Bay is a northwestern Ontario city that functions as the primary urban centre and service hub for a vast region of the Canadian Shield, and it has one of the highest urban Indigenous populations of any Canadian city—both permanent residents and individuals who travel hundreds of miles from remote reserves to access healthcare, education, and services. The city has faced significant challenges with Indigenous youth mental health and suicide, violence, and the mental health impacts of colonization and intergenerational trauma from residential schools, and these concerns are central to the local mental health landscape. Lakehead University's Indigenous studies programs contribute to a growing body of decolonized mental health approaches, and regional services work to address significant unmet need. Common therapy concerns include Indigenous trauma and intergenerational residential school effects, geographic isolation, substance use, depression, and the complex grief of a community navigating both the legacy of colonial harm and ongoing racism and marginalization.
