CHILD/YOUTH COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY
Supporting Your Child’s Emotional Well-Being
Navigating childhood and adolescence can be challenging. Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, behavioural issues, family transitions, or emotional distress, our counsellors are here to provide compassionate, personalized support.
At Hollyburn Support Services, we create a safe and welcoming environment where children and youth can express themselves through play, art, conversation, or other creative methods. Our goal is to empower your child, enhance their emotional well-being, and equip them with the tools they need to face life’s challenges.
Is Child/Youth Counselling/Psychotherapy Right for Your Family?
You might be wondering if counselling is the right step for your child. Perhaps they’ve experienced a recent change, are struggling with emotions, or you’re noticing behavioural shifts. Our counselling/psychotherapy services are designed to support children and youth through various challenges, including:
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression and low mood
- Behavioural concerns
- Family transitions (e.g., divorce, relocation)
- Trauma and loss
- Social and peer-related issues
- Self-esteem and identity development
We also understand that a child’s well-being is closely tied to the dynamics between their caregivers. If you and a co-parent are navigating separation, conflict, or differences in parenting approaches, our Co-Parenting Counselling services can offer guidance, tools, and support to strengthen communication and prioritize your child’s needs.
Affordable and Accessible Support
We recognize that therapy is an important investment, and that finances can sometimes be a barrier to accessing support. To help make counselling/psychotherapy more accessible, we offer affordable services for youth ages 12 and up, including low-cost sessions with intern clinicians who are completing their clinical training under the supervision of experienced professionals. These sessions provide high-quality care at a reduced rate. If cost is a concern, we encourage you to contact our Director of Counselling Services to discuss available options. We’re committed to helping you access the support your family needs.
