Rosalinde Pecino

If you've been watching your child,
adolescent
or
teen
struggle for too long.
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.
Ashiya Desai: Child Teen Family Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Verified
Our work as parents and caregivers never really ends, and often takes us on journeys we never anticipated. If you're here, perhaps getting here was one of those journeys. As a Child,
Adolescent
and Family Therapist and a Clinical Social Worker, I've been working with kids and their families as they navigate challenging situations for over 10 years. My approach is family-centered, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed, with a sprinkle of creativity and silliness on the side. After all, play is the natural language for kids and teens, and frankly, adults need more of that too!

I believe we all possess an inner compass that knows what we need in order to heal and enrich our lives. I can help you discover and develop yours. I offer you a safe space that welcomes the whole self, to not only address presenting issues, but also to uncover underlying feelings and influences that may be hidden within.

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.

Teen Counsellors
Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol.
Most teens have a relatively egocentric perspective on life; a state of mind that usually abates with age. They often focus on themselves and believe that everyone else—from a best friend to a distant crush—is focused on them too. They may grapple with insecurities and feelings of being judged. Relationships with family members often take a backseat to peer groups, romantic interests, and appearance, which teens perceive as increasingly important during this time.
The transition can naturally lead to anxiety about physical development, evolving relationships with others, and one's place in the larger world. Mild anxiety and other challenges are typical, but serious mental health conditions also emerge during adolescence. Finding a teen therapist in Toronto and addressing a disorder early on can help ensure the best possible outcome.
