Sometimes there isn't one obvious reason. You may simply notice that your teen seems to be having a harder time lately and could benefit from having someone outside of their everyday life to talk to.
A space that's theirs
Therapy gives teens a place to talk about what's going on without feeling judged, lectured or pressured to have everything figured out.
Sessions are tailored to the individual teen. Some want to talk things through, while others connect better through activities, humour, visuals or practical strategies.
The goal is to help teens better understand themselves, build confidence, manage difficult emotions and develop tools they can actually use at school, at home and in everyday life.
For parents
Starting therapy for your teen can bring up questions for you too.
You may be wondering how involved you'll be, what confidentiality looks like, or what happens if your teen isn't sure they want to talk.
Confidentiality and parental involvement are discussed clearly at the beginning of therapy so both you and your teen understand what to expect. Our goal is to create a space where teens feel comfortable opening up while keeping parents appropriately informed and involved.
What if my teen doesn't like talking?
That's okay — therapy doesn't have to look one specific way.
Some teens come in ready to talk, while others need time to feel comfortable. Sessions can include conversation, activities, humour, practical exercises or simply getting to know one another at first.
Building trust comes before expecting a teen to open up.
