Teen Counselling Calgary
Adolescence can be a challenging time, with teens facing a variety of emotional, social, and academic pressures. At Core Psychology, we offer specialized counselling services for teens to help support their mental health and well-being during this critical stage of development.
Signs of Distress
You might consider counselling for your teen if you are noticing:
Changes in mood or behaviour
Withdrawal from family and friends
Difficulty getting out of bed
Declining academic performance
Fears about significant life transitions
Risky behaviours or substance experimentation
"Within the supportive space of counselling, teens discover the strength to transform challenges into stepping stones, turning the turbulence of adolescence into a journey of self-discovery and resilience."
Helping Your Teen Find Their Strength
Teens are provided with a safe and supportive environment to explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. Creativity, connection and fun are central to the process.
We use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and others, to help teens address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, self-esteem, and more.

Supporting You and Your Teen
When you try to help as a parent you may be feeling powerless - unsure of how to connect without seeming overbearing or being accused of micro-managing them. You might be finding that you are tip-toeing in an effort not to push them away, or are met with conflict or moodiness.
At Core Psychology, we know how challenging these years can be for teens and parents alike. Contact us today to learn more about our teen counselling services and schedule your first appointment.
