From navigating emotional changes to managing social pressures and academic demands, these formative years can be overwhelming without the right support. Our specialized online therapy services provide children as young as nine and teens up to seventeen with a safe, compassionate space to express themselves, process their experiences, and develop the skills needed to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">For children, therapy often focuses on understanding and managing emotions like frustration, sadness, or anxiety. Using age-appropriate strategies, our psychologists help children build resilience, develop coping mechanisms, and improve their ability to regulate emotions. For children younger than nine, parent coaching is key in fostering strong attachment and addressing behavioural difficulties. Adolescents and teens, meanwhile, may face heightened struggles such as social anxiety, self-esteem issues, or challenges with friendships and family dynamics. Our tailored approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), empower teens to overcome these difficulties by building self-awareness, confidence, and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">What makes our approach unique is the emphasis on collaboration with parents. While sessions are often conducted one-on-one with the child or teen, we work closely with caregivers to provide guidance and strategies that reinforce progress at home. Whether addressing behavioral challenges, grief, or academic stress, our goal is to help children and teens build strong emotional foundations and foster healthier relationships with themselves and those around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#39574f\"><strong>Contact information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Email: <\/strong>info@leonpsychology.ca<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Phone: <\/strong>819-200-7718<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">When contacting us, please leave your full name and phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8bd6e3d2a4003580e8e3b8be1ec6d830\" style=\"color:#39574f;font-size:20px\"><strong>You can also book a FREE 15-min introductory call directly in our calendar:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/leonpsychology.janeapp.com\/\" style=\"background-color:#39574f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book a free 15-min introductory call<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#39574f\"><strong>Expertise in Psychological Care for children, adolescents and parents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">At Leon Psychology Clinic, we believe that mental health support should be accessible and personalized.

This approach makes professional mental health care accessible from the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><strong><strong>What issues can be addressed through online therapy?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Our therapy services cover a variety of challenges, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:17px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Anxiety disorders (e.g., GAD, OCD, phobias)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Depression and mood disorders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Parenting challenges and discipline techniques<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">ADHD and attention-related concerns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Grief, loss, and major life transitions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Relationship difficulties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><strong>Will my teenager&#8217;s (age 13-17) sessions be confidential?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Confidentiality is a crucial aspect of adolescent psychotherapy. Psychologists prioritize creating a safe space where children and teenagers can freely express themselves. Generally, what is discussed in therapy remains confidential unless there are concerns about safety (learn more about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/leonpsychology.ca\/en\/faq\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"60\" target=\"_blank\">limits of confidentiality<\/a>) or if your teenager provides explicit permission to involve others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><strong>Can I be involved in my teenager&#8217;s (age 13-17) therapy sessions<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">While parents can play a crucial role in their teenager&#8217;s well-being, adolescent psychotherapy often involves sessions with the teenager alone. This allows the psychologist to build trust and encourage open communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><strong>What if my child or teenager is resistant to therapy<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">It&#8217;s not uncommon for children or teenagers to be initially resistant to the idea of therapy. Openly communicate with your child\/teenager about your concerns and the potential benefits of therapy. Assure them that therapy is a safe space for self-expression and personal growth. If your child\/teenager remains hesitant, involving them in the therapist selection process or allowing them to ask questions can help alleviate their concerns. Skilled psychotherapists experienced in working with childre and adolescents can often establish rapport and build trust, even with initially reluctant youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><strong>Will my child\/teen receive a diagnosis<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">During the initial assessment phase, your clinician will determine if your child meets full criteria for a mental health disorder. Not all children or teenagers seeking psychological support will meet criteria for a disorder. You can request a letter with the outcome of the assessment so that it can be shared with your child&#8217;s primary care provider if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">For a full list of services, explore our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leonpsychology.ca\/en\/online-parent-coaching-therapy\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"128\">online parent coaching<\/a><\/strong>,  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leonpsychology.ca\/en\/online-child-therapy\/\">online child therapy<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leonpsychology.ca\/en\/online-teen-therapy\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"126\">online adolescent therapy<\/a><\/strong> pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/leonpsychology.janeapp.com\/\" style=\"background-color:#39574f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book an appointment<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<br>\n<!-- ===========================\n  TABLE SUMMARY \u2014 ONLINE THERAPY SERVICES IN OTTAWA\n=========================== -->\n<table style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin-bottom:30px; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:15px;\">\n  <thead style=\"background:#f5f5f5; font-weight:bold;\">\n    <tr>\n      <th style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Aspect<\/th>\n      <th style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Details<\/th>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/thead>\n  <tbody>\n    <tr>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Target Audience<\/td>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Children (9\u201313), adolescents (14\u201317), and parents in Ottawa<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Primary Services<\/td>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Online therapy, parent coaching, neuropsychology intervention, and CBT for children and teens<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Common Issues Addressed<\/td>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Anxiety, depression, attention issues, emotional regulation, school stress, grief, self-esteem, and behavioural challenges<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Approach<\/td>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), integrative therapy, and collaborative family involvement<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Clinician<\/td>\n      <td style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Dr. Stephanie L.
