Children and Adolescents

At Pursue You Psychotherapy, we understand the unique challenges children and youth face in today's world.

Our team of experienced therapists specialize in providing compassionate and effective mental health support tailored to children and adolescents. 

Common Issues Children and Youth Face

Anxiety

Whether it's school-related, social anxiety, or general worry, anxiety can be overwhelming for young people. Therapy helps them develop tools to manage and reduce these feelings

Low Mood and Depression

Sadness, lack of interest in activities, and withdrawal from social interactions can signal depression in children and youth. Our therapists provide support to help them regain joy and balance in life.

Behavioural Issues

Acting out at home or in school may indicate underlying emotional struggles. Therapy helps identify the root causes and promotes healthier behaviour patterns.

Navigating Friendships, Bullying and Peer Pressure

Navigating friendships and peer interactions can be challenging. Our therapists support young clients in building resilience against bullying and making healthy choices amidst peer pressure.

Self-Esteem and Body Image Issues

Adolescents, in particular, may struggle with self-esteem and body image concerns. Therapy helps them build a positive self-image and self-acceptance.

Family Conflict, Trauma & Grief

Family changes like divorce or loss can be challenging for children, impacting their emotions and well-being. Our therapists provide compassionate support to help them navigate transitions, process grief, or heal from trauma in a safe and understanding environment.

How Our Therapists Help:

Emotional Expression & Understanding: Children and youth often struggle to express or even understand their feelings. Our therapists provide a safe space where young people can explore their emotions, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and develop emotional intelligence.


Building Self-Esteem & Resilience: By working through challenges in therapy, children and adolescents gain self-confidence and resilience, helping them face life's difficulties with a stronger sense of self.


Communication Skills: Many young people struggle with effectively communicating their thoughts and feelings. Our therapists guide them in developing constructive communication techniques that can improve relationships with peers, family, and teachers.


Strengthening Relationships: Family dynamics and peer relationships play a significant role in a child’s well-being. Our clinicians work closely with young clients to enhance their interpersonal relationships and social skills.


Parent Support: Our therapists specializing in children and adolescents understand the vital role parents play in the therapeutic process. We believe that effective collaboration with parents is crucial for supporting young clients in across all environments. To ensure consistency and reinforce progress, we offer dedicated parenting sessions. These sessions equip parents with practical coping strategies and insights, empowering them to support their child's growth and well-being beyond the therapy room.

We are committed to helping children thrive.

If your child is struggling, our specialized therapists are here to support them every step of the way.
