Teen Counselling in Calgary

The Struggle…

“It’s like I don’t even recognize my kid anymore.”

If you’re a parent, you might be noticing:

  • Withdrawal, irritability, or emotional outbursts

  • Constant stress or perfectionism

  • Social struggles or academic pressure

  • Low self-esteem or body image concerns

  • Changes in sleep, eating, or motivation

  • Anxiety or depressive symptoms

If you’re a teen reading this — maybe you just feel tired, stuck, or not like yourself lately. It’s not just you, and you’re not broken.

Whatever brought you here, we’re glad you’re looking for support.

We specialize in working with teens and their families.

At Core Psychology, our therapists create a space that’s safe, real, and judgment-free.

We understand the unique challenges teens face today — and we support teens and parents with empathy, practical tools, and proven strategies that make life feel lighter again.

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

As a parent, trying to help your teen can sometimes leave you feeling powerless. You want to support them, but every attempt can feel like walking a tightrope — afraid of being seen as overbearing or accused of micromanaging. You might find yourself tiptoeing around conversations just to avoid conflict or emotional shutdowns, unsure how to reach them without pushing them further away.

The teen 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.
