At Wiseheart Counselling, we provide compassionate and effective therapy for teens and young adults. Our goal is to help young people build emotional resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and understand how their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours impact their lives.

Therapy Approaches for Youth

Teens face unique challenges, and our approach to therapy is designed to meet them where they are emotionally and developmentally.

Child engaged in play therapy for emotional expression

We integrate a variety of therapeutic methods to ensure each child receives the support they need:

  • Play and Expressive Arts: Using creative activities like drawing, storytelling, and role-playing, we help youth express their emotions in ways that feel natural and safe.

  • Traditional Talk Therapy: For teens, we incorporate talk therapy where appropriate to help them articulate their feelings and work through challenges.

  • Nervous System Regulation: We teach youth how to manage their physical and emotional responses to stress through grounding and calming techniques.

  • Psycho-Education: We help our youth clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected, fostering greater emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

Why Choose Wiseheart for Youth Counselling?
