Therapists for Teens in Caledon Village, ON
Maya Angelou said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you". Our stories are profound and provide significant insight into who we are and where we have come from. It is through the act of sharing our stories that we can derive meaning and purpose from the painful experiences we have been through. Therapy can be a time of learning how our past often impacts our present experiences, choices, and behaviours. These insights can have a profound impact on understanding the cycles and behaviours we often find ourselves repeating.

I have 7 years of experience working as a counsellor and therapist supporting teens, adolescents, and adults.
Do you feel stuck?, Do you feel helpless?, Are you trying to escape from something?, Do you feel disconnected from your own thoughts and feelings?, Do you feel distant from your loved ones? Are you constantly worrying about what to do? If you answered yes to one of these questions and you are currently experiencing challenges and struggles with your mental health, substance use, mood swings, relationship, anger or anything else beyond this list, know that you’re not alone. Neglecting your own needs or contemplating on whether you should reach out for support can feel overwhelming and exhausting.

Teen Counsellors
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
