Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future, I specialize in providing therapy services for children and adolescents, supporting them through the unique challenges they face during their formative years. With over fifteen years of experience in child and youth psychotherapy, I'm dedicated to helping young individuals overcome obstacles and build the skills they need for a brighter future.
Child Therapy / Counselling for Children:
Every child is unique, and their strengths and needs are different. With my extensive experience in child psychotherapy, I can accompany you to understand your child and enter his/her world. By appreciating the impact of experiences in children’s early years, I help children overcome challenges and develop new skills to be equipped for making a brighter future. Play-based methods readily put children at ease, resulting in greater cooperation, which supports them in meeting treatment goals. I have the skills to assess your child from different perspectives to better determine how best to support them.
Youth Therapy:
In youth therapy sessions, I work collaboratively with teenagers to address a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, family conflict, social isolation, trauma, and more. My approach is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual, empowering them to take control of their lives and navigate challenges with confidence.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where young individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build strong, positive relationships.
Whether your child is struggling with academic stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or mental health issues, I'm here to provide the support and guidance they need to thrive. Contact me today to learn more about how I can help your child or teenager navigate the challenges of growing up with confidence and resilience.

Wajma Omer
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc. Psych., RP
Working in a children's mental health agency for 14 years with youth ages 12-18 has allowed me to understand the social and emotional pressures that youth experience in today's society. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for youth to express their thoughts, emotions, struggles, and using a client-centered and strength-based approach help them find strategies that can help them explore healthy coping mechanisms.

Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
As a parent, it is difficult to witness your child or teen struggling emotionally. Finding help for children and teens experiencing anxiety symptoms, depression and other mental health challenges is vital. I am trained in CBT for children and youth through Royal Ottawa Hospital, Massachusetts Hospital, BECK and others. I have extensive experience working with children and youth in the foster care system as a former child and youth counsellor, and my years of experience working with children and youth contribute to building strong therapeutic rapport using therapy games, teaching vital skills and showing children and youth that life can managed without overwhelming feelings of anxiety or depression. I have specific training in protocol for OCD in children.

Simona Ilieva
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, 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.
