Therapists for Teens in Olds, AB
I have a special interest in marriage/relationship counselling as well as working with individuals ages 10+. While my formal education and on-going training provides a strong foundation for working with clients of all ages, it is my relationship with my partner and parenting our adult child and also a teenager, that greatly influences me as a counsellor and allows me to better understand the ups and downs that accompany relationships and parenting.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and/or trauma, that affects your day-to-day functioning, relationships, career? Do you feel exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed by living up to others standards, getting through the day, feeling like there's no light at the end of the tunnel? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, work through trauma, finding their place in life. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn't be so hard to live a better life.

Who are you? This seemingly simple question can be difficult to answer. Have you lost your answer? Tragedy, distractions, addictions, or avoidance often cause us to lose sight of our sense of self and lead us to make choices that contradict who we are at our core. The fallout of this can cause conflict in relationships and create unintentional barriers to building or fostering connections.

Teen Counsellors
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
