Counselling for teens of high school age at our wellness studio in Kincardine, Ontario. The therapy we offer youth creates a safe, warm, inviting space to explore their identity, share their feelings and offer insights into their life challenges.
Understanding the Journey into Adolescence
Feeling Isolated
Many of our youth struggle with feelings of loneliness and isolation, regardless of how easy it is to connect socially online.
Youth are navigating countless stressors in their lives, resulting in heightened anxiety. This can make everyday tasks more challenging.
Effective communication can be a struggle, leading to frustration and difficulty expressing needs and emotions. Together we can develop strategies to rebuild connections with parents and peers.
Sensory sensitivities can be overwhelming, making it hard to navigate environments and social situations. We can support youth to reconnect with their emotions and physical senses.
Organizing tasks, managing time, and planning for the future can feel overwhelming. With the prefrontal cortex not reaching maturity until the mid-20’s, many teens struggle with executive functioning.
