Is your child or teen struggling with anxiety or depression? Feeling worried and overthinking seemingly ordinary situations, or feeling unmotivated and having a hard time getting involved in daily activities? We are here to help! If you’re noticing low self-esteem, poor confidence, trouble focusing, mood swings, or have concern for your or your young person’s mental health, we'd love to connect with you.
We are clinical social workers and mental health counsellors with experience supporting both kids and adults with a variety of life’s challenges. We are trained in and use a blend of various approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, emotion focused and narrative therapy, mindfulness, creativity and play. Together, we can work towards getting things back on track.
There is hope, and we believe that things can get better. If you would like to chat more, we offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to new clients, and provide sessions in office, in home, and online. For more information, see our website at www.acorncounselling.org
