Relational, compassionate therapy for teenagers navigating a complex world
Being a teenager today is no small task. Between academic pressure, shifting friendships, family expectations, managing online presence and the looming question of who they’re becoming—many teens feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. And often, they don’t have the words for what’s going on inside.
At Collingwood Psychotherapy & Yoga Centre, we offer relational, attuned psychotherapy for teens and youth who are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing. Our work supports teens in building resilience, emotional awareness, and connection—with themselves and the people around them.
More About Collingwood Psychotherapy & Yoga Centre
Is your teen struggling?
You might notice your teen pulling away, acting out, or simply not seeming like themselves. Maybe their mood has changed. Their grades have dropped. They’re always tired, irritable, or withdrawing from things they used to enjoy. Or maybe you just have a gut sense that something isn’t right—even if they tell you they’re “fine.”
These signs can be part of a deeper emotional struggle. Our teen clients often come to us dealing with:
-
Anxiety or panic
-
Depression or low self-worth
-
Identity confusion
-
Family conflict
-
Disconnection or isolation
-
Emotional overwhelm or shutdown
How therapy helps
We don’t offer quick fixes or generic advice. We build real relationships—meeting teens where they are, without judgment or pressure. From that foundation of trust, we help them explore what’s happening beneath the surface, learn to navigate strong emotions, and begin to move toward greater clarity, confidence, and self-connection.
Our approach to teen psychotherapy draws on:
-
Relational Psychotherapy
Rooted in presence and honesty, this approach helps teens experience being seen and respected—without performance, pressure, or pretending. We build real connection and offer steady, attuned support. -
The Maturity Model
We support age-appropriate growth with depth and care—recognizing that emotional maturity develops through relationship, reflection, attunement, and boundaries, not through rushing or pressure. -
Somatic, Mindfulness and Experiential Tools
Many teens feel overwhelmed by emotion or disconnected from their bodies. These tools help them regulate, ground, and come back into a sense of inner safety and strength. -
Attachment Theories
We help teens understand how past relationships shape present patterns—while offering new experiences of connection that are built on respect, trust, and presence. -
Trauma Models
Our work is informed by trauma frameworks that honour the nervous system and support integration—especially for teens who feel shut down, anxious, reactive, or stuck. We pace this work carefully, so it’s empowering rather than overwhelming. -
Lived Experience with Youth
Our team has worked with teens in complex, long-term settings—including wilderness-based programs, youth agencies, and intensive therapy contexts. We know how to walk with teens through hard terrain—and we’re not afraid to go there.
For parents and caregivers
It can be hard to know when—or how—to get help. You don’t have to wait for a crisis. If you’re concerned about your teen’s mental health, trust that instinct. Therapy can be a powerful step toward healing and growth—not just for your teen, but for your whole family. We always recommend that parents and caregivers seek support too. Your mental well being supports the whole family and your healing can have a huge impact on your teens mental and emotional health without you having to say a word.
If your teen is ready to be met with honesty, care, and real support—we’re here.
