Therapy For Teens

It can be incredibly frightening and overwhelming as a parent/guardian when you notice your teen struggling. Whether it’s self-harm, social difficulties, problems in school, anxiety, depression, acting out, or sudden behaviour changes, it can leave you feeling lost and unsure of how to help. You’re not alone, and therapy can be a powerful step toward understanding what’s going on beneath the surface and making lasting changes.

 

At our practice, we specialize in working with teens by using practical, evidence-based strategies that connect with them where they’re at (CBT, DBT, EFT, etc). We understand the challenges of reaching a teen who may not always want to talk or may not know how to express what they’re feeling.

 

Our goal is to build trust and create a safe, supportive environment where they can explore their emotions and behaviours. We also believe in the importance of involving parents in the plan making process.

 

Together, we’ll work to understand the root causes of your teen’s struggles, develop a clear plan for support, and create strategies that can help improve their well-being both in the short-term and long-term. Therapy isn’t just about addressing the symptoms—it’s about making real, sustainable changes that help your child thrive.
