Children & Youth

Catalyst Youth Psychotherapy

(6 and Above)

Through our professional registered psychotherapists and psychologists, we offer a range of services to support the mental health and well-being of young people.

Our psychotherapists offer academic support, career counselling, and other resources to help young people succeed in school and beyond. They can also serve as a supportive community of peers and mentors who can offer guidance and encouragement as young people navigate the challenges of growing up.

Our services are designed to help young people overcome anxiety, build resilience, and develop coping skills based on their individual needs.

Individual Therapy

With individual therapy, we offer one-on-one sessions, in-person and online, where our psychotherapist tailors their approach to address the child’s specific needs, concerns, and emotional growth with personalized attention and support to help children work through their challenges.

 

Group Therapy

Group therapy provides a supportive setting where children interact with peers facing similar challenges in small groups. Under our psychotherapist’s guidance, children engage in group discussions and activities that promote social skills, empathy, and emotional development.
