Comprehensive Mental Health Care for Children, Teens, and Families
At Leon Psychology Clinic, we know that childhood and adolescence bring a range of emotional and social challenges. In Kitchener, young children may struggle with anxiety, emotional regulation, or adapting to life changes, while teenagers often face academic stress, peer pressure, and self-identity concerns. Our online therapy services provide a safe and supportive space where children and teens can express their feelings, develop coping skills, and build emotional resilience.
For children under nine, parent coaching plays a crucial role in fostering strong emotional connections and addressing behavioral concerns. As children grow, therapy helps them understand their emotions, improve self-regulation, and develop healthy coping strategies. Teenagers, who may be dealing with social anxiety, low self-esteem, or family conflicts, benefit from targeted support that empowers them to navigate these challenges effectively. Through evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we help young individuals build confidence, self-awareness, and emotional strength.
We believe in collaborating with parents, providing them with tools and guidance to support their child’s emotional well-being at home. Whether your child is facing behavioral challenges, grief, or emotional regulation difficulties, our goal is to equip them with the skills needed for a healthier, more balanced future.
For expert online therapy in Kitchener, Leon Psychology Clinic is here to support your child’s growth and well-being every step of the way.
