Your child might be melting down after school, worrying more than usual, pulling away from friends, or struggling with changes at home. Teens might go quiet, get angry, or say they're "fine" when they're not.

Our therapists offer a warm, neurodiversity-affirming space where children and teens can work through big emotions, school stress, friendships and changes at home, at their own pace. Parents and caregivers are welcome to be part of the process.

Kids and teens don't always have the words for what they're feeling.

We meet them where they are.

Therapy for Children & Teens in London, Ontario

Is This Your Child?

  • Has big emotions or meltdowns that are hard to settle

  • Worries a lot, or avoids school, friends, or new things

  • Is struggling with self-esteem, friendships, or bullying

  • Is neurodivergent and needs support that fits how they think

  • Is going through a big change, like a move, separation, or loss

  • Seems "not themselves," and you're not sure why

Mary Hugessen, Registered Social Worker and our founder, works with children, teens and adults of any age, including neurodivergent kids and those with developmental or learning disabilities. Laura Merucci, MSW Student Therapist, brings over 15 years of experience in child welfare supporting children, youth and families, including parent–teen conflict and neurodivergent youth.
