Virtual psychotherapy for school-age clients – secure video sessions, French and English
Tailored to children, adolescents and the parents who guide them
Anxiety, ADHD, sibling dynamics, emotional regulation, school refusal
In Brossard, parents seeking a licensed child or teen psychologist often face long waitlists at the CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre and across the Greater Montreal area. Many families end up commuting to a major city for one session at a time. Leon Psychology Clinic offers online psychotherapy for children (ages 9 to 13), adolescents (ages 14 to 17), and parental coaching (for parents of children from birth to 17), with no commute and no waiting list. Sessions take place from your home or your child preferred environment, in a clinical and confidential frame supervised by psychologists registered with the Ordre des psychologues du Quebec (OPQ).
For kids under nine, guiding parents is crucial for building a strong emotional foundation and dealing with tough behaviors. As children grow, therapy helps them understand their feelings better, control their reactions, and become stronger inside. Teens facing shyness in social situations, feeling bad about themselves, or dealing with family stress get a lot of help from structured support that builds their confidence and emotional strength.
We use proven methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to give young people the tools they need to handle life’s highs and lows with a clear head. We firmly believe that when parents get involved, it really boosts how well therapy works. We teach parents how to keep supporting their child’s emotional health even after therapy ends. No matter if your child is dealing with loss, behavior issues, or trouble managing emotions, our aim is to offer full support for their mental health in the long run.
For reliable and compassionate online therapy in Brossard, Leon Psychology Clinic is dedicated to helping children, teens, and families overcome challenges and move toward a healthier future.
Why consult a child or teen psychologist in Brossard?
Pediatric mental health needs in Quebec have grown faster than the public network can absorb, particularly in the regions surrounding Montreal where Brossard is located. The CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre reports significant wait times for child psychology services, and many families turn to private telepsychology to reduce these delays. Common reasons parents reach out include school anxiety, oppositional behavior, attention difficulties, sleep problems, social struggles, or the need to navigate a major life event such as a separation, a move, or the arrival of a sibling.
Our therapeutic approach with children and teens in Brossard
When we meet a young Brossard client, the work always starts by mapping their actual environment – which school in the DIX30 sector or further inland, what activities, what relationship to social media. With children 9 to 13, our psychologists pair structured conversation with externalization exercises (drawing the worry, naming the inner voice) to build self-awareness. For teens 14 to 17, the toolkit shifts to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and behavioral activation, calibrated to the academic pressure that exists in some Brossard programs – international, IB, or sport-etudes. Parents can also book separate parental coaching to handle their part of the work outside the session. All clinicians on our team are registered with the Ordre des psychologues du Quebec (OPQ) and trained in evidence-based methods.
Frequently asked questions about child and teen therapy in Brossard
Will I be involved in my child therapy in Brossard?
It depends on the age. With children 9 to 13, parents take part in the initial assessment and then attend periodic update sessions to align home routines with what is being built in therapy – this is especially useful when bedtime, screen time, or homework conflict patterns are part of the picture. With teens 14 to 17, the structure is reversed: the teen meets the psychologist one-on-one, and any communication with parents is discussed in advance with the teen, except where ethics require otherwise. The detailed framework is set during the free 15-minute introductory call so that everyone in the family knows what to expect.
Will my private insurance cover my child sessions?
Sessions delivered by a psychologist registered with the Ordre des psychologues du Quebec (OPQ) are reimbursed under most private group insurance plans active on the South Shore – Beneva, Desjardins Insurance, Sun Life, iA Financial Group, Canada Life, and Manulife included. Exact coverage (annual cap, reimbursement percentage, age limit for dependents) varies by employer contract. Our official receipts can be submitted to your insurer and also qualify for the federal medical expense tax credit and the equivalent Quebec credit at tax time.
Can your psychologists communicate with my child school?
Yes. With written parental authorization (or by the teen aged 14 and over for their own file), our clinicians can liaise with the school team in Brossard – whether at the Centre de services scolaire des Grandes-Seigneuries, the Riverside School Board, or one of the private secondary schools on the South Shore. This collaboration is particularly useful when an intervention plan is being built, an exam accommodation requested, or a managed return after a school refusal episode is being planned.
I live near Brossard but in a surrounding municipality. Can my child still consult?
Yes – our online sessions are available throughout Quebec, so families in Saint-Lambert, Greenfield Park, Saint-Hubert, La Prairie, Candiac, or Saint-Constant can consult our psychologists from home. The only requirements are a stable internet connection, a recent device with a working camera, and a quiet, private space for the young client during the session.
How quickly can my child get a first appointment?
Most Brossard families begin with the free 15-minute introductory call within 5 to 10 days, which is when we map the issue, clarify expectations, and confirm whether one of our psychologists is the right fit for the child or teen. The first full session is then typically scheduled within 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the chosen clinician availability and the family schedule.
