It is very common for adolescents to experience mental health problems leading into adulthood.
Though it is not often clear that there are mental health issues happening, adolescents with low motivation, poor grades, ADHD, parent-child conflicts, who are engaging in drug use and abuse, with video game addiction, or hostility may be struggling.
It is important in these situations to consider the idea that adolescent therapy might be helpful.

Life in Harmony Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist
When working with children, we appreciate their unique ability to process emotions and situations in a concrete way. We utilize playful activities such as games, drawing, and other forms of play to help children understand and make sense of the complex emotions they experience. This approach enables them to continue developing, communicate more effectively, and refine their emerging life skills.

The stresses on young people today dwarf what existed when I was younger. My passion is to help younger people deal with their mental health challenges and find ways to adulthood that are as safe and fulfilling as possible. One of the biggest challenges that young people face today is online addiction, and one of my specialties is helping them separate the virtual from real life.

Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Child and adolescent issues reveal the profound impact of early experiences on emotional development and behaviour. From the tender moments of infancy, the foundation of attachment is laid, shaping the blueprint for future relationships and self-perception. Trauma, whether overt or subtle, can disrupt this delicate balance, casting shadows that linger into adolescence and beyond. Child and adolescent issues emerge as a reflection of unmet needs and relational ruptures. From anxiety and depression to behavioural challenges and self-esteem issues, each struggle speaks volumes about the depth of emotional wounds and the longing for connection. Therapy offers a sanctuary for healing, providing a space to explore the complexities of attachment dynamics and process the echoes of trauma.
By nurturing secure attachments and fostering resilience, children and adolescents can rewrite their narratives, reclaiming a sense of agency and self-worth. Through supportive interventions and empathetic care, they can navigate the rocky terrain of adolescence with greater confidence and emotional regulation. In this journey of growth and discovery, the bonds of attachment become a guiding light, illuminating the path toward healing and wholeness.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
With my many years in education I am able and skilled at working with and relating to children and adolescents.
However what I believe makes me truly effective is that I am approachable.
What can I say kids like my smile!
It's also probably because I am still a kid at heart, and because I know what its like for kids to suffer trauma.
My father died when I was 10, he was an alcoholic and was abusive.
I grew up with prejudice, as I am half East Indian.
I moved out when I was 15 because I couldn't stand my step-father.
I started using drugs when I was 13 stopped at 26.
I believe kids need structure and discipline to keep them safe.
My students always said Miss Richardson is really tough.
She is firm but fair, and we have fun!
