Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Children and young people today face many challenges such as: bullying; dealing with the "new normal" of COVID-19 restrictions; academic performance and personal success expectations; peer pressure, fears and trauma; the expectation that being happy is something that should just come automatically; adjusting to natural hierarchies that no longer exist;
personal and oral hygiene; underdeveloped emotional skills; and the unhealthy use of technology and influences of social media. Hypnosis can provide a safe and effective solution to all of these challenges.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Kids and teens often communicate distress through behavior, withdrawal, anxiety, anger, or school struggles. Therapy offers a safe space to build emotional language, coping skills, and self-esteem while reducing family conflict and overwhelm. When appropriate, I include caregiver support so change is supported at home—not just in session.

Whitby is a Durham Region community east of Toronto, notably home to Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, one of Ontario's largest dedicated mental health hospitals, which reflects the significance of mental health as a local concern and provides specialized inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services that make the area an important hub for mental health care in the eastern Greater Toronto Area. The city has grown rapidly as a commuter community for Toronto, with GO Transit service making the journey manageable, and the pressures of long commutes and the costs of homeownership are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. A private therapy sector serves those seeking outpatient counselling, and the presence of Ontario Shores means that more intensive mental health needs can be addressed locally rather than requiring travel to Toronto. Common therapy concerns include commuter and work-life stress, family and parenting pressures, anxiety, and the transition challenges of a rapidly growing community.
