Therapy For Teens In Ayr & Across Ontario
How We Can Help Teens
Our therapists and counsellors use a variety of tools and modalities such as CBT, DBT, EFT, ACT, Mindfulness, and more to identify and address the root of your teen’s challenges and help them thrive!
One-on-one sessions provide a personalized approach to teen therapy, starting with an intake session to understand your teen’s unique needs and goals. This allows us to tailor a treatment plan, ensuring that our time together is focused on their priorities and helping them move forward from things weighing heavily on their mind.
CBT helps your teen identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to stress. By learning to reframe these thoughts, they can develop healthier behaviours and coping strategies, leading to improved mental health and resilience. This approach is a core part of depression therapy for teens and anxiety therapy for teens.
DBT combines cognitive-behavioural techniques with mindfulness practices to help your teen manage intense emotions and build better relationships. It’s particularly effective for those dealing with emotional dysregulation and self-destructive behaviours, making it a valuable therapy for teens struggling with these issues.
EFT focuses on understanding emotions and the root cause of your teen’s feelings. It helps them create secure and fulfilling connections by addressing underlying emotional issues and improving communication. This form of teen therapy is effective in enhancing emotional bonds and resolving interpersonal conflicts.
ACT encourages your teen to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them while committing to actions that align with their values. This approach promotes psychological flexibility and helps them lead a more meaningful life. ACT is a beneficial therapy for teens who are facing various emotional and behavioural challenges.
Incorporating mindfulness and self-compassion into therapy helps your teen stay present and kind to themselves during difficult times. These practices support emotional healing and enhance overall well-being, making them essential components of teen therapy.

Questions About Teen Therapy
Therapy can help your teen in many ways, depending on their specific goals. Sometimes, therapists will teach your child skills they can use to manage difficult feelings and situations. Other times, the focus may be on exploring and examining their thought patterns, shifting any unhelpful patterns. Therapy is a process of self-discovery, where your teen will learn more about their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
The key is to create a safe, supportive environment where your child feels comfortable opening up and working through the challenges they’re facing. With the guidance of a skilled therapist, therapy can provide the tools and insights needed to help your teen navigate these issues more effectively.
Information shared with a therapist is confidential and is not shared without permission—even with parents. There are some situations where a therapist must share information, such as for safety reasons. Confidentiality will be discussed prior to starting teen therapy sessions.
The sessions will typically be one-on-one between your teen and their therapist. There may be times when you are invited to join part of the session, but this will be at your child’s discretion and based on the goals being addressed.
In the initial session, the therapist will take the time to get to know your teen – their struggles, their strengths, and their overall wellbeing. Together, they will develop a personalized treatment plan to guide the therapeutic process.
In subsequent sessions, you can expect a mixture of your teen sharing their thoughts and experiences, and the therapist offering their professional insights and teaching practical skills and tools. The goal is to help your child better understand their emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and improve their overall mental health.
As a parent, you may be wondering how often your teen should attend therapy sessions. We typically recommend starting with weekly sessions. This allows your child to get started on their goals and build a strong relationship with their therapist.
Over time, as your teen makes progress and the therapy becomes more established, the frequency of sessions may decrease to every other week. This gradual reduction in session frequency is often a sign that the therapeutic process is working and your child is developing the skills and strategies to better manage their challenges.
