Adolescent Counselling

There are many choices and storms to navigate at this age, and teens often experience themselves, others and events in a very specific way. This can be challenging and having a trusted counsellor to discuss complicated emotions, thoughts, relationships and options can be extremely supportive.

At Oasis, your teenager's counsellor will tailor counselling sessions to their specific needs. Our therapists can work together with your teenager in the areas of:

  • Self-discovery/identity

  • Relationships 

  • Stress management

  • Self-doubt

  • Peer-pressure

  • Bullying 

  • Cognitive, Emotional, Social or Behavioural diversities 

  • Life transitions 

  • Life, family and career goals

  • Meaning and purpose of life

Even just a few sessions can make a world of difference to your teen’s well-being.

Our Approach

We understand that there are specialized needs when working with your teen. That is why this process will include a mixture of sessions with parents/guardian, therapist and the child. The duration of these individual sessions will vary depending on the age of the teenager and what is deemed to be most beneficial. 

Our family therapists are trained in:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy

  • Emotional focused therapy

  • Acceptance and commitment therapy

  • Dialectical behavioral therapy

  • Narrative therapy

  • Play therapy

  • Interactive drawing therapy 

  • Sand tray therapy
