Pre-teens and Teens 

Navigating the issues and challenges arising from social media, peers, body image, busy  schedules and family dynamics can be frustrating and overwhelming. Recognizing emotions,  setting personal boundaries and building skills for self advocacy will empower youth to form  healthy friendships/relationships and increase resiliency.  

Anxiety and Depression 

Symptoms associated with anxiety and mild depression are common while dealing with the  various challenges and stressful situations that life presents. Identifying individual triggers and  strengthening coping mechanisms and building their tool box will help to improve social  functioning and emotional wellbeing.  

Self Esteem/Confidence Building  

Negative thoughts and self doubt can sneak in and affect many aspects of our behaviour. Through  goal setting and identifying personal strengths an individual may be empowered to realize their  full potential.  

Stress Management 

Everyday issues can be daunting but adding another layer of issues caused by a global pandemic  can leave one feeling swamped and overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions. Counselling  provides a safe environment to process emotions, challenge thought patterns and develop healthy  coping mechanisms.  

Conflict Resolution/Effective Communication 

Different ideas, opinions and communication styles can create conflict and escalation of emotions  and situations. Learning how to deal with conflict in a productive manner and learning the skills  needed for effective communication will build strong personal and professional relationships. 

Parenting Support  

Being a parent can be a tough and sometimes confusing role to figure out. What is the best way  to support your children as they attempt to navigate their world? Real time issues like the  pressures of social media, peers, relationships, school and busy schedules need to be negotiated .  Providing knowledge, tools and emotional support in understanding the stage of development a  child is in will help parents/caregivers through challenging situations and implement parenting  strategies to work toward a healthy family dynamic.  

Grief 

The death of a loved one, loss of a job, home or lifestyle can be overwhelming and isolating.  Understanding the stages of grief and acceptance of the accompanying feelings and thoughts can  be a powerful tool to begin the healing process.
