Kids & Teen Therapy in Ontario

Compassionate, Developmentally-Informed Support

At Innovative Counselling Ontario, we specialize in therapy for children and teens using approaches that are both trauma-informed and engaging. From EMDR to creative play, we provide tools for healing, resilience, and emotional growth that meet youth where they are.

Our Approach to Youth Therapy

Blending Innovation with Compassion

We primarily use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) because it’s one of the most effective therapies for kids and teens experiencing emotional distress. EMDR helps process difficult experiences without requiring children to relive every detail.

Why EMDR works for youth:

It’s effective: Reduces trauma symptoms, anxiety, and stress

It’s adaptable: Can include play, movement, and art for engagement

It’s gentle: Healing happens without overwhelming conversation

We also integrate play therapy techniques—using storytelling, art, and games—so kids can express emotions naturally in ways that feel safe and comfortable.

Parent & Family Support

Stronger Healing Through Connection
We recognize that parents and caregivers are vital partners in the therapeutic process. That’s why we offer:

One-on-one parent support sessions

EFFT (Emotion-Focused Family Therapy) coaching

Family therapy to strengthen communication and relationships

Virtual Therapy That Works for Kids

Engaging Online Sessions Designed for Youth
Our virtual sessions are built to keep children and teens involved. We use interactive tools like art projects, therapeutic games, storytelling, and movement-based activities to promote self-regulation and make therapy effective—even online.

Give Your Child the Support They Deserve

Safe, Effective Therapy for Kids and Teens in Ontario

Your child doesn’t have to navigate anxiety, trauma, or emotional struggles alone. With youth-focused therapy that blends EMDR, play, and family support, we help kids and teens heal in ways that feel safe, natural, and lasting.

Sometimes Talking is Not Enough

We provide therapy that heals the root cause of your distress, offering more than just temporary relief. Our commitment is to long-term, sustainable change, and we will never push you in a direction you do not want to go. We recognize that your system responds the way it does for important reasons, and by working with it, true and harmonious change is possible. We believe therapy is about more than managing day-to-day stress. It is about reconnecting you with yourself and the world around you. While learning coping skills is valuable, our priority is lasting transformation through addressing the root causes of your pain. If you are feeling stuck, we are here to help.
