Help for My Teen
“Being a teenager is incredibly intense and every moment is invested with ferocious importance.”
Teenage life can be a phase full of energy, hope, life, joy, beauty, and passion. Despite many advantages, being a teenager in today’s world is not easy. Teenagers face many challenges, making right decisions, choosing the right environment and people, and expressing emotions, etc. Social Media, school pressures, bullying, navigating expectations, hormones, changing bodies and privacy & independence are a lot to manage. Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and teens may withdraw, become argumentative, isolate, surround themselves with new or no friends, turn to drugs or alcohol. You’re not alone. Teen Counselling can be extremely effective in helping teenagers deal with issues such as anxiety, trauma and grieving, and it is helpful for the every-day struggle with maturing and maintaining an optimistic outlook. It can provide a safe space to air concerns, and an opportunity to learn skills and strategies to bring about positive changes in their thoughts and behaviours. Teen therapists most often work one-on-one, or with the teen and his/her family. Click here for the ways we can help you. Click here for the people that can help you.

The Canadian Psychotherapy Alliance would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which our home office gathers is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties, is within the lands protected by the “Dish With One Spoon” wampum agreement and is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabeg. We pay our respect and gratitude to their Elders past and present and extend this to all First Peoples and Traditional Territory.
