Counselling and Behaviour Therapy
Child Counselling:
We help children ages 7-12 years with challenges related to behaviour, anxiety, social skills, self-regulation, learning disabilities, ADHD, parent separation, and self-esteem. We use hands on activities, crafts, play, and work with parents during the sessions when appropriate.
Teen Counselling:
We help teens ages 13-18 years with issues related to social issues, self-esteem, anxiety, friendships, ADHD, mood, motivation, executive functioning, and behaviour.
Young Adult Counselling
We help young adults ages 19-21 years with challenges related to transition to college of university, ADHD, learning disabilities, relationships, self-esteem, communication skills, social skills, mood and anxiety. We also help clients with issues related to transitioning to adulthood and making decisions related to education and work.
Useful Resources:
Ontario Individual Education Plans
An Individual Education Plan (IEP) in Ontario is a personalized, written document outlining the special education programs, accommodations, and services a school board will provide to meet a student's unique learning needs. It is developed based on a comprehensive assessment of the student's strengths and areas requiring support.
To learn more about IEP’s visit the page to understand key components of an IEP, the development process and more.
This Anxiety Canada resource explores childhood anxiety, outlining common disorders, symptoms, and coping strategies. Their page provides insights into how anxiety manifests in children, how to differentiate it from typical fears, and evidence-based approaches for management.
Family Health Online offers practical strategies to foster confidence in adolescents, while Focus on the Family Canada explores how social media affects self-worth and how to counteract its negative influence. Both sites provide evidence-based guidance on supporting teen mental well-being.
New Horizons will provide support in all of these challenges.
