Support in a Crucial Life Stage

Development

The adolescent and teen years are a dynamic period of growth, exploration, and change. During this stage, young people experience significant physical, emotional, and social development as they navigate the challenges of identity formation, independence, and peer relationships. It's a time when they seek to understand themselves and their place in the world, often leading to complex emotions and behaviours.

Effective Support

To support teens effectively, it’s essential to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where they feel heard and valued. Open communication, empathy, and consistent support from parents and caregivers play a crucial role in helping them manage stress, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.

Tailored Care

We are committed to guiding teens through this challenging stage with tailored therapeutic approaches that address their unique needs. By fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere, we help teens build confidence, emotional intelligence, and the skills needed to thrive both now and in the future. With the right support, the teen years can be a time of tremendous growth and self-discovery.

Supporting You and Your Teen

When you try to help as a parent you may be feeling powerless - unsure of how to connect without seeming overbearing or being accused of micro-managing your teen. You might be finding that you are tip-toeing in an effort not to push them away, or are met with conflict or moodiness.

At Core Psychology, we know how challenging these years can be for teens and parents alike. Contact us today to learn more about our teen counselling services and schedule your first appointment. We're here to walk with you on this journey towards finding ease and joy in your day to day. For additional questions, reach out, or consult our Teen Counselling FAQ page.

Counselling for your Teen

  • Our counseling sessions are designed to address a wide range of issues relevant to teens, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, school-related stress, peer relationships, family dynamics, self-esteem, identity development, and behavioural concerns. We provide a safe and confidential space where teens can explore their feelings, gain insights, and develop coping strategies.

  • We will work collaboratively with your teen to identify areas of concern and develop personalized goals. We use evidence-based techniques tailored to the unique needs of adolescents to foster positive change and well-being.

    We also recognize that you are bringing your teen to therapy because you are invested in them. We believe the best way we can support children and teens is by also supporting their parents. We incorporate parent sessions to empower you with knowledge and skills to strengthen your relationship and communication with your teen.
