Expert Mental Health Care for Children, Teens, and Families
At Leon Psychology Clinic, we understand that growing up comes with emotional and social challenges. In Vaughan, young children may struggle with anxiety, emotional regulation, or adapting to new situations, while teenagers often face academic stress, peer influence, and identity exploration. Our online therapy services offer a safe, supportive space where children and teens can process their emotions, build coping skills, and develop confidence.
For children under nine, parent coaching is essential in fostering emotional security and addressing behavioral concerns. As children grow, therapy focuses on helping them understand their feelings, manage behaviors, and develop effective coping strategies. Adolescents and teens, who may be experiencing self-doubt, social anxiety, or family conflicts, benefit from structured support tailored to their specific needs. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we equip young individuals with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and self-awareness.
We also emphasize family collaboration, guiding parents in reinforcing progress at home. Whether your child is struggling with behavioral challenges, grief, or emotional regulation, our goal is to provide the support and skills needed for long-term emotional well-being.
For compassionate and professional online therapy in Vaughan, Leon Psychology Clinic is here to help your child thrive.
