Frequently asked questions
If your teen is experiencing persistent emotional, behavioural, or social challenges that are impacting their daily life, it may be beneficial to seek professional support. Some common signs include prolonged sadness, anxiety, anger outbursts, difficulty in relationships, or a decline in academic performance. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out to us for a consultation.
During the initial session, our counsellor will focus on creating a comfortable, safe environment for your teen to share their story. They'll ask questions to better understand your teen's challenges, goals, and preferences, and collaborate with them to develop a personalized therapy plan. This session is also an opportunity for your teen to ask questions and express any concerns they may have.
The length of therapy varies depending on each teen's unique needs and goals. Some may find significant improvement after a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support. We work closely with each teen to monitor their progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed, ensuring they receive the care they need for lasting success.
We believe that parental and caregiver involvement can play a crucial role in a teen's therapeutic journey. While respecting each teen's privacy and autonomy, we encourage open communication and collaboration with parents and caregivers. We offer family sessions, provide resources and guidance, and work together to create a supportive environment for the teen's growth and well-being.
