Kevin Greene, Health & Happiness: Counselling and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
The stresses on young people today dwarf what existed when I was younger. My passion is to help younger people deal with their mental health challenges and find ways to adulthood that are as safe and fulfilling as possible. One of the biggest challenges that young people face today is online addiction, and one of my specialties is helping them separate the virtual from real life.

Goran Kosanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, HBCom, MACP
Children and adolescents face unique challenges that can impact their emotional well-being, including issues like anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and difficulties with self-esteem. Therapy for young people focuses on providing supportive interventions to address these challenges, using evidence-based techniques such as solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). By working with both the child and family, therapy can help improve communication skills, develop coping strategies, and promote positive behavior changes. Whether navigating school stress, peer pressure, or family dynamics, therapy helps children and adolescents build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and develop the skills they need for a healthy future.

Michelle Iacobucci
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach when working with children under 12 years old is to ensure that they are provided with a positive and safe experience of therapy. I prefer to tailor therapy to their developmental stage by creating a fun environment that may involve play, art, and activities during sessions. Discussions about their interests, skills, and special talents and abilities are at the forefront of our therapeutic conversations to help build confidence and feelings of positivity. My background in relational therapy may invite parents or siblings into sessions as well. Please contact me for a free consultation if you are interested in determining if I would be a good fit for your child/children.

Haimove Amir
Registered Psychotherapist, psychotherapist
I provide individualized therapy and support for children and adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioural, social, developmental, and school-related challenges. Children and teens may struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, emotional regulation, friendships, communication, family changes, attention difficulties, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday expectations. My approach is developmentally appropriate and relationship-based, using play, creativity, conversation, and practical therapeutic strategies to help young people express themselves and build confidence. I also work with parents and caregivers when appropriate, helping families better understand their child's needs and develop supportive strategies at home. My goal is to create a safe environment where children and teens feel heard, respected, and supported.

Sarah Glinski
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
While I do not work with youth under the age of 12, 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.

Karen Skinulis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My area of expertise is in child and adolescent issues. I approach these issues from an Adlerian perspective. I believe that behaviour is socially embedded which means that a child/teen's misbehaviour is directed at a person, very often the parent, For that reason I will use family counseling to address behaviour concerns. We will look at the goals of the behaviours, ie. undue attention-seeking, power, revenge or assumed inadequacy. I will work on creating cooperation in a family through democratic parenting.

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Each child or adolescent responds differently to life's unexpected events. Some of these could be a death in the family, the first of a sibling, bullying, natural disasters, or parental divorce. It's important for the child or adolescent to have healthy social and emotional intelligence in order to lead healthy and happy lives.

Children and teens often express emotional struggles through behaviour, withdrawal, or difficulties at school and home. I create a safe, age-appropriate space for young people to explore their emotions, build emotional language, and develop healthy coping skills.

Vaughan is one of Canada's fastest-growing cities and part of the Greater Toronto Area's northern expansion, with a large Italian-Canadian community alongside growing South Asian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern populations creating a diverse and evolving therapy demand. The city's relative newness as a major population centre means its private therapy infrastructure is still developing, and many residents access care in Toronto or through telehealth. Mackenzie Health's Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital — one of Canada's newest major hospitals — provides institutional resources, and the broader GTA ecosystem of therapists is accessible for those willing to travel or use online platforms. Vaughan's affluent suburban character means therapy is financially accessible for many, though stigma barriers in some cultural communities remain a consideration.
