Helping Young Minds Find Calm
Anxiety Counselling for Children & Youth

Compassionate Support for Anxious Minds
Specialized Anxiety Counselling for Children & Youth
At Catalyst Mind Center, our registered psychotherapists understand how anxiety can affect the lives of children and youth. It often stems from school pressures, social challenges, or family changes, significantly impacting their mental and emotional health. We provide specialized, age-appropriate counselling to help young individuals navigate change with confidence. Our team focuses on strengthening their resilience during life transitions, empowering them to develop coping skills, reduce fears, and thrive with greater calm and self-assurance.
Anxiety presents uniquely in young people, and our experienced therapists use evidence-based, play-based, and interactive techniques to address it. We recognize that anxiety can manifest as excessive worry about school, physical symptoms like headaches, or social avoidance. Our child-friendly methods aim to nurture their mental and emotional health, addressing symptoms such as restlessness, irritability, sleep disturbances, and panic attacks. We also prioritize family involvement where beneficial, to create a supportive network for lasting progress.
Common Symptoms We Address
Excessive worry about school or friendships
Physical symptoms like stomachaches or headaches
Avoidance of social situations or separation anxiety
Restlessness, irritability, or difficulty focusing
Sleep disturbances or nightmares related to fears
