Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with child or adolescent issues, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Devenir le point d’ancrage dans la tempête de votre ado
Les humeurs et les attitudes d’un adolescent cachent souvent des émotions plus profondes comme l’anxiété et le sentiment d’être dépassé — face à la pression scolaire, aux questions d’identité, aux réseaux sociaux ou aux difficultés relationnelles.
Ce dont votre ado a réellement besoin de vous, c’est que vous soyez son point d’ancrage. Je vous aide à incarner cette présence solide, capable de guider votre jeune à travers la tempête avec calme et efficacité. En travaillant sur votre propre posture et votre résilience, vous créez l'espace sécurisant dont il ou elle a besoin pour cheminer. C'est ainsi que nous transformons les tensions en un lien durable fondé sur la confiance.
ENGLISH:Being the Anchor in Your Teenager’s Storm
A teenager’s moods and attitudes often mask deeper emotions like anxiety and overwhelm—whether they are facing academic pressure, identity questions, social media stress, or complex friendship dynamics.
While their behavior may feel like it’s pushing you away, what your teen truly needs from you is to be their anchor. I help you become that steady presence, guiding them through the storm with calm and effectiveness. By focusing on your own resilience and posture, you provide the safety they need to navigate these challenging years. This is how we move from constant conflict to a relationship built on trust and mutual respect.

27 Years Experience
Online in Gatineau, QC Quebec
Gatineau sits directly across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital and functions as the Quebec side of the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region, with a predominantly French-speaking population of federal government workers who access many services in both official languages. The city's identity is distinct from Ottawa — more working-class and francophone in character — and French-language therapy is the norm, with access to English-speaking practitioners limited relative to the Ontario side of the river. CISSS de l'Outaouais provides public mental health resources, and many Gatineau residents access the broader Ottawa-Gatineau therapy ecosystem via the bridges connecting both cities. Therapists here frequently encounter the stresses of public service careers, bilingual professional demands, and the particular challenges of raising families in a bicultural, bilingual metro area.
