Child or Adolescent Issues
Ryta Marie Peschka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
While I do not work with youth under the age of 16, 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.

Kalyna Scherbluk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
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. Working collaboratively with caregivers when appropriate, I support youth in navigating identity, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, and more.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

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.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
With my many years in education I am able and skilled at working with and relating to children and adolescents.
However what I believe makes me truly effective is that I am approachable.
What can I say kids like my smile!
It's also probably because I am still a kid at heart, and because I know what its like for kids to suffer trauma.
My father died when I was 10, he was an alcoholic and was abusive.
I grew up with prejudice, as I am half East Indian.
I moved out when I was 15 because I couldn't stand my step-father.
I started using drugs when I was 13 stopped at 26.
I believe kids need structure and discipline to keep them safe.
My students always said Miss Richardson is really tough.
She is firm but fair, and we have fun!
