Depression Counselling for Children & Youth

At Catalyst Mind Center, we acknowledge how depression can overshadow the joy of childhood and adolescence, often sparked by bullying, academic stress, or family issues. Our team of registered psychotherapists provides compassionate, developmentally sensitive counselling to help young people navigate change with confidence. We emphasize strengthening their resilience, guiding them to regain interest in activities, improve their mood, and embrace a hopeful outlook with enhanced self-worth.

Depression in young people varies by age and context, needing nuanced, engaging interventions. Our therapists incorporate creative and activity-based methods to explore feelings, challenge negative patterns, and encourage positive behaviors while managing symptoms like withdrawal or irritability. We also collaborate with families and schools to sustain mental and emotional health, using strength-based strategies to inspire motivation and prevent isolation for a comprehensive, youth-centered recovery.
