Professional Mental Health Care for Children, Teens, and Families
At Leon Psychology Clinic, we understand that growing up comes with emotional, social, and developmental challenges. In Markham, young children may struggle with anxiety, emotional expression, or adjusting to new experiences, while teenagers often face academic pressure, social expectations, and identity formation. Our online therapy services provide a nurturing and structured space where children and teens can explore their emotions, develop resilience, and gain the skills needed for a healthier future.
For children under nine, parent coaching is key to fostering emotional security and addressing behavioral challenges. As they grow, therapy helps children learn to manage emotions, build self-regulation skills, and develop positive coping strategies. Adolescents and teens, who may struggle with self-confidence, peer relationships, or family stress, benefit from targeted interventions designed to promote emotional balance and personal growth. Using evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we equip young individuals with the tools to handle their challenges with confidence and clarity.
We also emphasize family involvement, providing parents with the guidance needed to reinforce progress at home. Whether your child is working through emotional struggles, behavioral concerns, or grief, our goal is to offer the support and strategies necessary for lasting well-being.
For trusted online therapy in Markham, Leon Psychology Clinic is dedicated to helping your child thrive emotionally and socially.

Speaking with a professional can provide clarity and support in addressing these concerns.
