TEEN COUNSELLING & PARENT SUPPORT

Teens

Adolescents is a time of change and self-growth. Our sessions provide a comfortable space for teens to explore their emotional world and better understand their mental health. Although teens attend counselling for a variety of reasons, all of our sessions have these underlying goals:

  1. Increase self-understanding and knowledge about mental health concerns.

  2. Enhance communication and healthy boundary setting to protect mental health and well-being.

  3. Develop a toolkit of coping strategies to help calm the mind and body.

PARENTs

Supporting a teenager can be challenging. Teens are at a stage in life where they start turning to their peer group more frequently, striving for independence while still needing a connection to caregivers. Our clinicians offer a non-judgemental space to explore parenting challenges and provide parents with strategies to support teens. Although parents seek support for a variety of reasons, all of our sessions have these underlying goals:

  1. Increase knowledge of adolescent development, mental health and attachment.

  2. Identify ways to tailor communication and support based on a teen's unique needs.

  3. Enhance emotional awareness and coping skills to model healthy strategies for managing powerful emotions
