Teen Therapists in Toronto, ON

Hi! Thanks for visiting. Maybe it’s like you’re about to drown in overwhelm, and you wish you could catch your breath. Maybe that out-of-control urge exploded again, and you wish you could find that kind of relief without all the mess afterward. Maybe it exploded in one or more of your relationships, and you don’t know what to do, but you feel unspeakably lost or lonely about it. Maybe at times you’ve given up on life being worth living. Maybe other times you do everything you can think of to survive. Or maybe it’s your teen or someone else you love who’s going through things like this, and you need support. I’d love to help.

For more than 25-years, I have specialized in the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced various mental health concerns. In addition, I provide assessment and counselling in the area of parent-child/ adolescent issues; father-son conflict; youth addictions (sexual and substance abuse), court involved/at risk youth; and issues related to adolescent depression, disordered eating, and self-injury. I also work in the area of men's health, addressing such issues as depression and anger management; trauma; addictions; fatherhood; and martial/relationship counselling.

Everything can be broken down into small and manageable steps, and even small shifts can produce significant change and offer much needed relief. If you or your loved one (child, adolescent , or partner) seems to be stuck in repeating behaviours, or patterns that are stretching your patience and energy reserves, you've come to the right place. I'm here to help shoulder some of the emotional weight you've been carrying, and to let you know there is hope, tangible tools and strategies, and positive change on the other side of bravely stepping into this process.

My therapeutic approach is centred on the client’s needs. Everyone comes from different and unique circumstances in life, and I believe that the therapy process should be unique to each client. For this reason, my approach is warm, judgment free, and draws on a variety of evidence-based therapeutic methods. Therapy can provide positive outcomes for a wide variety of reasons. My belief is that therapy itself can be a healing process. The act of sharing your thoughts, feelings, and worries is an essential step to a healthier and more fulfilling life.

I am committed to supporting Black and racialized families through child and family therapy and parent coaching. I work with children and teens managing behavioural, emotional and social challenges that may relate to their family dynamic. I also offer help to parents looking to connect with their children and make changes to support their progress and expression. In my therapeutic relationships, I create a fun and collaborative environment where transparency, trust and confidence are fostered to build improved family relationships and communication.

Though I treat all ages, my clinical focus is on children, adolescents, and families. I have over 10 years of experience providing sound, evidenced based treatment to young adults, children, adolescents, teens and families. I offer brief models of therapy such as solution focused therapy & CBT. I also have extensive experience using psychodynamic approaches. I believe strongly in providing client centered care and welcome feedback. Please visit my website at www.andreagirvanmsw.org

Children and adolescents need support now more than ever. As an Expressive Arts Therapist, I am passionate about helping young people tap into their full potential. Through my holistic, whole-child approach, I see your child for who they are - the child behind the diagnosis, the child behind the disappointing report cards and the child behind the pointing fingers of their peers. I will take my time to get to know your child, to gain their trust, to develop a relationship, and when they're ready, work from a resource-oriented perspective. Every child has so much to offer... it's just a matter of helping them to uncover it all.

You are looking for someone for your teenager to talk to - or you’re a teen yourself looking to explore what’s going on inside. You’re here because you want to understand how you’re feeling and want your life to improve. You know you can feel better but you’re not sure how. Maybe you’re stuck in patterns of thinking that are holding you back. Perhaps you’re worried about your child or teen - you can tell something is bothering them but they won’t open up.

I am a warm, compassionate, and intuitive therapist who specializes in working with adolescents (14+) and young adults.

Whether you are seeking help for yourself as an adult or a parent, or for your young one, it is never too late to make a positive change. In my practice, I enjoy working with clients of all ages, and strategically adapting to their individual needs. Some of these range from academic challenges that may require a formal psychoeducational assessment, to relationship difficulties, emotional or behavioural dysregulation, or mood and anxiety symptomatology.
