OUR THERAPY SERVICES

Individual Therapy For Kids & Teens

Therapy for children and teens looks different than therapy for adults—and at Exhale, we’re intentional about meeting young people where they are developmentally, emotionally, and relationally. Our therapists are trained in child and adolescent mental health and understand that meaningful change happens best when kids feel safe, understood, and supported both in and outside the therapy room.

Sessions are tailored to your child or teen’s age, needs, and personality, and may include play-based, expressive, skills-based, or trauma-informed approaches. Just as importantly, we work from a family systems perspective, recognizing that children don’t exist in isolation. When appropriate, we involve parents and caregivers through coaching, check-ins, and guidance so that progress made in sessions can be supported at home and in everyday life.

Research shows that strong therapeutic relationships—and collaborative involvement from caregivers—are key predictors of positive outcomes for children and adolescents. Our goal is not only to support your child or teen through current challenges such as anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioural concerns, school stress, trauma, or life transitions, but also to help them build resilience, confidence, and healthy coping skills that last.

At Exhale, we strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where kids and teens can express themselves freely, feel understood, and grow in ways that feel empowering and sustainable for the whole family.
