Psychotherapy for Children and Teens in Ontario
Family Centered Care Matters
You and your child don’t have to navigate this alone.
When a child or teen is struggling, it can be confusing, overwhelming, and worrying for the whole family. At Afterglow, we believe that growth and healing are possible, and that young people deserve support that helps them feel understood, safe, and capable of change.
Child and adolescent psychotherapy is a form of mental health support designed to help young people explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and build confidence in themselves and their relationships. Sessions are developmentally appropriate and tailored to meet your child or teen where they are.
Our work takes a family-centred approach, meaning parents and caregivers are active partners in the therapeutic process. Caregivers collaborate with the therapist to better understand what their child is experiencing, learn supportive tools, and reinforce skills at home. This creates consistency, strengthens family communication, and helps young people feel supported beyond the therapy room.
When families are supported together, life becomes easier — with clearer communication, steadier support, and a shared path forward.
Let's work on it together!
Family Centered
Unique Journey
Resources
Within our family centered model, caregivers are actively involved with the therapist to reinforce skills at home, through family communication and consistent support. You're with your child more than we are, so this gives you a unique opportunity to support them along the way!
Your family isn't the same as any other family. At Afterglow, understanding your family's unique dynamic is part of helping your child to thrive. We are always working to see the bigger picture and your family's story is part of that.
We are dedicated to learning and experiencing as much as we can so that we can guide you to the tools and resources that will work best for you. Seeking ongoing education and new techniques helps us to give you and your family the best therapy experience.
The Afterglow therapy team supports individuals, families and couples through life changes, past issues, trauma and growth.
Our caring and open approach to therapy gives people a safe and comfortable place to explore and to recalibrate life to something that feels more peaceful, balanced, and comfortable.
We are dedicated to providing clear tools for personal healing through therapy. We offer in person therapy sessions in Hamilton, Brantford, or Caledonia, and online to residents of Ontario.
