Therapists for Teens in Dundas, ON
Change, growth, and life transitions—whether expected or not—are part of being human. Even seemingly small experiences can leave lasting impacts, affecting how we function day to day. Many of us carry unresolved experiences or painful memories from our past that still influence our present. You might have been taught, directly or indirectly, that staying silent or pushing these things aside is the “right” way to cope. But if that approach is no longer working, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or like life is spiraling out of control.

Opening up is difficult. Often we're told to deal with it, or that things will get better. Maybe you’re going through a transition, feeling overwhelmed, tired, or stuck. Maybe you’ve been feeling an emotion you’ve been told you’re not supposed to feel. Navigating these conflicting thoughts and feelings can be a lot to manage, but you do not have to manage them alone. Maybe you feel like your problems are too big or too small. Maybe you feel like something is just a passing thought and is not worth bringing up. When working with me, nothing is off the table – if it’s important to you, then it is important to me.

Therapy is often about exploring outdated core beliefs to see if they are useful and, if not, create new neuropathways that lead to new, more healthy behavior and responses. I meet each client where they are in their life and/or situation and explore what works for them to meet their therapeutic needs. I trained with Dr Stan Tatkin, Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy. I am certified in EMDR. I am a trained Mindful Self Compassion Teacher. I am a level 2 trained Internal Family Systems clinician

Your brain won’t shut off. The intrusive thoughts, the rituals, the what-ifs—it’s exhausting. Maybe you’re constantly seeking reassurance, avoiding things that trigger anxiety, or stuck in mental loops that make no sense but feel impossible to stop. You know the fears aren’t rational, but that doesn’t make them any less intense. OCD isn’t just about cleanliness or order—it can latch onto anything, from relationships to safety to daily routines. If you’re feeling trapped by anxiety and compulsions, you’re not broken—and you don’t have to manage it alone. There’s a way forward.

Do you find yourself to be very self-critical and worried about what other people think of you? You’re someone who puts yourself second to make sure other people are happy, but still find yourself anxious, feeling burnout, and thinking you're not “good enough”.

You’re ready to stop ruminating on negative thoughts. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself and embrace your strengths and weaknesses. I want to help you get there.

You are an individual. There is no one else quite like you. Your therapy should be as unique as you are. We are all the products of our past, from experiences that happened so long ago that they escape memory to what happened just as we opened the door to the present moment. Through it all, we learn the skills that protect us on this journey through the interpersonal world. We sometimes struggle to be our authentic selves because there is no SELF without the context of the OTHER. Each of us is a single being trying to be seen as we see ourselves in a never ending sea of often confusing but always important social interaction.

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.
