Getting Support at the Right Time

Childhood and adolescence are critical years when the foundations for emotional, social, cognitive, and academic development are built. This formative period is when healthy (or unhealthy) habits begin to take shape, influencing psychological well-being, self-esteem, the capacity for connection, and resilience later in life. Research consistently shows that identifying mental health needs early and accessing support can lead to significantly better outcomes. At WellSpirit, we understand the importance of this journey for families, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Connecting with the Right Therapist

Finding a skilled and compassionate therapist who can connect with your child or youth and foster meaningful change can be challenging. At WellSpirit, our therapists prioritize building a safe, trusting relationship where their clients feels comfortable, understood, and respected. We collaborate with our clients to create individualized treatment plans and use various tools to monitor progress to optimize therapeutic gains. Our team is trained in multiple evidence-based therapies and they can skillfully integrate them to meet their clients’ unique neurodevelopmental, mental health, and behavioural needs. We also work closely with parents to provide the guidance they need to help them best support their child.

Our Therapeutic Approach

WellSpirit operates from a integrative, evidence-based, culturally-sensitive, neurodiversity-affirming, and strength-based model of care. We combine our knowledge of relevant research, clients' lived experiences, and clinical expertise to create highly effective, personalized intervention plans. We offer in-person, virtual, and hybrid individual therapy options targeting a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems in children and youth using the following research-supported therapies:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Unified Protocol for Children/Adolescents (UP-C/UP-A)

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT/DBT-Kids)
