Childhood and adolescence are times of rapid growth, learning, and emotional change. These stages often bring challenges—whether it is managing school pressures, navigating friendships, or developing a healthy sense of self. At Newmarket Therapy Centre, we provide specialized therapy services for children, adolescents, and teens, offering a safe, supportive space where young people and their families can heal, grow, and thrive.
Supporting Children and Teens
Therapy for children and adolescents is tailored to meet their developmental needs. For younger children, Play Therapy provides a natural way to express emotions and experiences through play, art, and storytelling. Teens often benefit from talk therapy, mindfulness, and skills-based approaches that address struggles such as anxiety, depression, identity, or peer challenges. Our goal is to help young people feel understood, validated, and empowered with healthy coping strategies.
Neurodivergent Services
We are proud to support neurodivergent children and teens, including those with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, and learning differences. Therapy focuses on emotional regulation, resilience, and social communication, while honouring each child’s unique strengths. We also work collaboratively with parents to ensure consistency and support at home and in daily life.
Parenting and Family Supports
We believe parents and caregivers are vital to the healing process. We provide parenting support to help families navigate challenges, set healthy boundaries, and strengthen connection. Family therapy gives parents, children, and siblings space to improve communication, resolve conflict, and foster closer relationships.
Therapeutic Approaches
Our therapists draw on a range of evidence-based methods to meet each child’s needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps reframe unhelpful thoughts and build problem-solving skills. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)supports teens in regulating emotions, managing stress, and improving relationships. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)helps children and adolescents explore and process underlying emotions, building awareness and resilience. Play Therapy offers a creative, developmentally appropriate path for children to work through feelings and experiences.
Helping Families Thrive
Our mission is to help children, adolescents, and teens feel supported, confident, and connected. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, or life transitions, our team provides compassionate, individualized care. Through a combination of child and teen therapy, neurodivergent supports, parenting guidance, and family therapy, we help families move toward healing, resilience, and lasting growth.
