Does Your Teen Need Support? Book Teen Therapy with Us

It's normal for teenagers to experience mood changes and emotional ups and downs as they grow. However, if your teen's struggles persist, interfere with school, relationships or daily life therapy may be helpful. You don't have to wait for a crisis or for things to become worse; early start of the mental health support can help your teen develop healthy coping skills and prevent their challenges from becoming more overwhelming.

Therapy can be helpful anytime your child’s emotions, behaviour, or worries are starting to affect their daily life, relationships or confidence. If you feel something isn’t quite right or you notice a recent change in your child’s mood or behaviour, feel free to reach out. We offer free 20-minute consultations to find out if working together is right for your family. Generally, consultations are offered via phone, but we understand that therapy can be intimidating for some children and you as a parent want to be sure the therapist is the best possible fit for your child. In these instances, we will try to offer a free in-person consultation.

Yes. Building trust is an essential part of therapy, so your teen's privacy is always respected. At the same time, parents remain an important part of the process. Your therapist will discuss confidentiality at the beginning of the therapy process and will keep you informed about your teen's overall progress while protecting the personal details they share, unless there are concerns about their or others’ safety.

To an extent, yes. Parent involvement depends on the teen's age, needs, and therapy goals. While most sessions are held one-on-one with your teen, our therapists often schedule parent check-ins to discuss progress, answer questions, and provide strategies to support your teen at home.

Each session costs $180. Sessions are 55 minutes in length.

We accept credit cards. Psychotherapy with a Registered Social Worker or Registered Psychotherapist is covered by many insurance providers or extended health benefits. We offer direct billing to many insurance providers.

In the event we cannot direct bill, we will issue a receipt with all of the information you will require for your insurance claim. We recommend checking with your provider before our first session.

Your appointment is reserved just for you. If you are unable to attend your appointment, you are required to provide at least 48 hours advanced notice. A late cancellation leaves a hole in the therapist's day that could have otherwise been filled. As such, the client agrees to pay 100% of the session fee if they cancel their appointment with less than 48 hours notice. Please note, all non-emergency cancellations (e.g. general illness, weather concerns, sudden schedule change, unexpected commitment, forgetting or mistaking the ap‐ pointment time) will be charged the regular session fee. Virtual or telephone sessions will be offered when it may not be feasible to attend in-person if that was the originally scheduled appointment method. We appreciate your help in valuing your treatment, the treatment of others, and respecting your therapist's time.

IWe use an online portal called Owl Practice which allows clients to book or reschedule their sessions conveniently online. We always encourage clients if they have a specific date/time that works best for their schedule, to book well in advance and even book several sessions at a time to maintain their spot.
