FAQs

How do I know if my teen needs counselling?

Every teen experiences ups and downs, but if they’re feeling persistently anxious, withdrawn, overwhelmed, or struggling with school, relationships, or self-esteem, counselling can help. A free 15-minute consultation is a great first step to explore whether therapy might be beneficial.

What happens during teen counselling sessions?

Sessions are tailored to each teen’s unique needs. They might talk about emotions, relationships, or stressors, and learn tools for managing challenges. Our therapists create a safe, judgement-free space where teens can express themselves openly and build coping strategies.

Is what my teen shares in therapy confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is essential to building trust. Therapists maintain your teen’s privacy, with a few exceptions (like safety concerns). We also aim to support healthy communication between teens and caregivers, and will involve parents where appropriate and helpful.

Can parents be involved in the therapy process?

Absolutely. While sessions are focused on the teen, we recognize the importance of family support. Depending on the situation, therapists may offer check-ins, family sessions, or guidance to help parents support their teen’s progress outside of therapy.

Do you offer virtual counselling for teens?

Yes! We offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so your teen can access support in the way that feels most comfortable and accessible. All sessions—whether online or face-to-face—are secure, confidential, and tailored to your teen’s needs.
