Simerpreet Ahuja, Soul Immersion Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD in Psychology
I work with children and adolescents facing a range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, behavioural issues, self-esteem issues and relationship issues. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic, Attachment-Based and Psychodynamic approaches to address these issues effectively. I believe that fostering self-esteem is crucial in empowering young individuals to thrive. Through collaborative therapy sessions, I empower my clients to recognize their strengths, cultivate resilience, and overcome obstacles with confidence. Furthermore, I place great emphasis on establishing healthy boundaries as a cornerstone of mental well-being. By fostering clear communication and self-advocacy skills, I guide my clients in establishing boundaries that promote healthy relationships and emotional well-being. In my work, I integrate principles of secure attachment to nurture healthy connections and support emotional resilience. Through nurturing and supportive interventions, I help children and adolescents build secure attachments, fostering trust, empathy, and emotional regulation. Additionally, I use inner child work, which involves exploring and healing past wounds to promote inner healing and growth. In summary, my therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and evidence-based practices. I believe in creating a nurturing and affirming therapeutic environment where children and adolescents can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and embark on a journey toward holistic well-being.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Children can often exhibit externalizing or internalizing behaviors when they are unable to express themselves or process/cope with their feelings and emotions. Therapy can be a safe space for children to make sense of their feelings through creative and engaging means. Depending on age, working with young children can entail working with parents on how to best support their child in what they are going through and to give parents a space to reflect on the kind of parent they want to be while expressing concerns or personal challenges they may be experiencing.

Michelle Iacobucci
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach when working with children under 12 years old is to ensure that they are provided with a positive and safe experience of therapy. I prefer to tailor therapy to their developmental stage by creating a fun environment that may involve play, art, and activities during sessions. Discussions about their interests, skills, and special talents and abilities are at the forefront of our therapeutic conversations to help build confidence and feelings of positivity. My background in relational therapy may invite parents or siblings into sessions as well. Please contact me for a free consultation if you are interested in determining if I would be a good fit for your child/children.
