Are you worried about your child or teenager?

Is your child or teen struggling with anxiety, emotional outbursts, sadness, or withdrawal?
Are they having trouble at school, facing bullying, overwhelmed by peer pressure, or adjusting to major life changes like divorce, a move, or loss?

Children and teens often feel overwhelmed by emotions they don’t yet have the tools to express. You might notice:

  • Trouble sleeping or changes in appetite
  • Withdrawing from friends or family
  • Excessive worry, sadness, or mood swings
  • School avoidance or academic decline
  • Self-harm, risky behavior, or talk of wanting to disappear

These may be signs of anxiety, depression, grief, identity confusion, or stress-related challenges. Early support matters.

Therapy creates a safe, confidential space where children and teens can explore their emotions, build coping skills, and learn to navigate life with more confidence and calm. Whether your child is facing big emotions or small daily struggles, support is available.

📍Online and In-Person sessions are available

Children don’t always have the words to express what they’re feeling. Karen uses a gentle, creative approach to help children feel safe and supported, often incorporating play-based tools such as art materials, building activities, and hands-on play to encourage expression.


If your child or teen is experiencing anxiety, difficulty at school, changes in behaviour or mood, challenges with coping skills, or has been affected by family stress or life transitions, therapy can help.


Support your child through change with care and understanding.
