CHILD & YOUTH COUNSELLING IN ALBERTA:
SUPPORT FOR TEENS AND ADOLESCENTS
Finding the right support for your child or teen can be challenging. At Horizon Counselling Service, we provide specialized counselling for children and adolescents, focusing primarily on those ages 14 and older. We offer guidance to help your child navigate mental health diagnoses, life stressors, and emotional growth in a safe, confidential space.
We believe in a whole family approach where parents and guardians are a vital part of the treatment team. This collaborative model ensures the best chance for long-term healing:
First Session: The initial session is always joint, including a family member or guardian, to explore concerns and help identify clear, actionable therapy goals.
Encouraging Transparency: We believe in the power of attachment and encourage transparency within the therapeutic process to engage and support the entire family throughout the journey.
OUR APPROACH: A WHOLE FAMILY FOCUS
Our clinicians use a variety of proven, specialized approaches tailored for adolescents, including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Play Therapy (for adolescents)
Note: Dr. Pott is also available to work with children on presenting issues related to pain or chronic health concerns.
