Helping Children and Teens Feel Understood, Supported, and Strong
Counselling that helps kids and teens make sense of big emotions, build confidence, and strengthen connection at home and beyond.
For Families Navigating Big Feelings and Big Changes
Child and youth counselling is for families who want to help their children or teens manage overwhelming feelings, high stress, anxiety, or emotional regulation with more tools, skills and connection.
Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, overwhelming feelings and emotions, transitions, school pressure, friendships, or self-esteem, therapy offers a supportive space to explore what’s underneath the behaviour.
You’ll gain insight into how to respond to their needs, while your child learns new ways to express themselves, build coping skills, and feel more capable.
