Arches Counselling

Treating The Next Generation

Arches Counselling is dedicated to providing comprehensive, evidence-based therapy services for youth in need. Our team of mental health professionals are highly trained and experienced in the unique challenges that adolescents face. We believe that every youth deserves access to quality therapeutic care, and our goal is to provide an environment of support and safety where young people can feel comfortable discussing their issues and seeking help.

At Arches Counselling, we understand that adolescents often struggle with worry, fear, and panic. Our team of mental health professionals are equipped to help youth manage these emotions in an effective and healthy way. We believe that by helping them build emotional resilience through a variety of therapeutic modalities, we can provide a wide range of skills, and creative out of the box techniques needed to access personal agency, and increase their overall wellbeing.

Our Approach

Our approach to counselling is holistic, divergent, affirming and individualized, taking into account family dynamics, school demands, social pressures, societal norms, and developmental differences. We strongly value safe spaces for youth to explore their emotions without judgment.

At Arches Counselling, we are open and welcome discussions related to sexuality, gender, neuro and or racial identity. Our team is equipped to provide a safe and supportive environment for youth to explore their feelings and questions surrounding these topics. We believe that talking openly about these issues is essential in helping young people access support, build resilience and self-confidence.

Issues

Youth are encouraged to discuss any issues they are facing that are draining their energy, capacity for enjoyment and or limiting their future possibilities. Talking about a struggle, emotions, identity, and or relationships can be daunting. To ensure the youth feel comfortable and secure, we practice a judgment-free, non assuming space to openly express themselves at a pace that is comfortable for them. We can engage in art, provide cues and questions designed to provide alternatives when talking is overwhelming or words are not accessible.
