Teen And Youth Counselling (Ages 12-18)

Navigate life’s complexities with confidence and care.

Adolescence is a time of rapid change, big emotions, and growing pressures. For teens, it can feel overwhelming to juggle school, friendships, family dynamics, and the journey of self-discovery—all at once. At Calming Tree Counselling, we provide a safe, judgment-free space where teens can explore their challenges, express themselves, and build the skills to thrive.

OUR APPROACH

Teens today face a wide range of challenges, and therapy can help them navigate:

Struggling with worry, sadness, or feeling “stuck.”

Peer Pressure

Navigating the need to fit in or dealing with bullying.

Self-Esteem Issues

Feeling unsure about who they are or doubting their worth.

Academic Stress

  • Withdrawing from family, friends, or activities they used to enjoy.

  • Experiencing changes in eating, sleeping, or mood.

  • Facing challenges with self-confidence or self-identity.

  • Finding it hard to communicate or open up.
