Child & Teen Therapy
Thoughtful psychotherapy for preteens and teens, approximately ages 9–16
50 minutes · CA$180
Sara works with children; Maryam works with teenagers and parents. The team will help confirm therapist fit and availability.
Young people may not always have words for what they are experiencing. Therapy offers a developmentally appropriate space to make sense of emotions, relationships, school pressures and life changes while respecting the young person’s dignity and growing independence.
YOU MAY BE HERE BECAUSE…
Anxiety, worries or avoidance are affecting daily life
Emotions feel intense or difficult to regulate
School stress, perfectionism or executive-functioning challenges are growing
Friendship, identity or family concerns feel hard to navigate
Grief, trauma or a major transition has occurred
Your preteen or teen seems withdrawn, overwhelmed or unlike themselves
HOW THERAPY MAY HELP
Therapy may support emotional literacy, coping, self-understanding, confidence, communication and practical problem-solving. Goals are developed with the young person and, where appropriate, their caregivers. Outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
WHAT SESSIONS MAY LOOK LIKE
Sessions use respectful conversation, reflection, psychoeducation and age-appropriate skills. The tone is suitable for mature preteens and teens. This service is not built around toys, games or a playroom.
PARENT INVOLVEMENT AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Caregiver involvement is discussed at the beginning and adjusted to age, needs, consent and safety. The therapist explains privacy, its legal limits and how general progress can be shared without undermining the young person’s trust.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Can a parent attend?
The therapist will recommend an appropriate intake and involvement plan. Parent Guidance may also be suggested when caregiver support is the best starting point.
Is this an emergency service?
No. For urgent safety concerns, use the Crisis & Urgent Support page and immediate local emergency resources.
