We incorporate play therapy and parent involvement to create comprehensive treatment plans that support emotional and cognitive development.
Adolescent Psychology Services
Targeted mental health support for teenagers aged 13-18. We specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, self-harm behaviors, and identity issues. Our approach combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with psychodynamic perspectives to address HSC stress, relationship problems, and transitional life challenges unique to adolescents.

Ideal for families requiring flexibility or those in regional areas, our telehealth services cover assessments, therapy sessions, and follow-up consultations with registered psychologists.

The process identifies ADHD subtypes while differentiating symptoms from other developmental or behavioral conditions affecting children and adolescents.
