To Do or Not To Do: Couples Therapy

Relationships go through seasons and changes. If you have ever wondered if couples therapy is right for you and your partner, the answer is: yes! Couples therapy benefits all couples from those who could use a minor tweak to those that are in pain or are really struggling. Healthy connection requires intentionality. Delaney Stewardson wrote an insightful blog for those who are curious.

Not only are we seeing the world change before our eyes, we’re constantly fed information through media. There are benefits to staying informed but it can also come as a determinate if we don’t know how to juggle the bombardment of news. It can be overwhelming for our teens as they ruminate over the environment and their future. So how can we support them? Our lovely therapist Molly Read wrote a helpful blog on this!

Educate and Protect

The moment our eyes land on a device, it’s a battle for our clicks, views and likes. Despite originating 150 years ago, the phrase “sex sells” still rings true. Accessing po*******hy has never been easier and accidentally stumbling upon it is one of the biggest ways children under 12 come across it. Parents must evolve and adapt with the times and our wonderful therapist Amy Appelle wrote a lovely blog on how.

Spring, Sunshine and Sprouts

There’s nothing more exciting than feeling the warmth in the air after a season of snow and frigid air. Let alone seeing the vibrant flowers bloom after a stark white and black winter. Throughout literature seasons play an important role in imagery and spring is a powerful example of this: rebirth, growth and hope. It can be extra rewarding for those that garden.

We encourage you to read Bella Shulman’s first ever blog on this: https://www.counsellingtorontoteens.com/spring-and-the-therapeutic-power-of-growing-things/

Outdoors and Outside

Out of school season is always an exciting time when teens recharge after a hectic school year. Teens should take advantage of our green spaces if they’re not sure what to do with their sudden freedom. Not only is it physically beneficial but mentally as well.

When something bad happens or when things don’t go your way, there can be a harsh “inner-critic” that scolds you relentlessly. Maybe you find it easier to be compassionate to a friend than yourself. It’s important to recognize, slow down, feel and acknowledge the internal dialogue. That way, you can restructure and direct more compassion towards yourself. If you’re feeling a little stuck, you can process it with your therapist. In the meantime, Veronika wrote an important blog on how!

Understanding Stress…

Can you believe that we’re getting close to the end of the year? For many teens, this means that due dates, tests and presentations are fast approaching. When teens are stressed, parents are stressed. What better way to tackle this than to understand this important biological response? Our lovely therapist Marlie Standen wrote a blog that breaks it down! Click the link below to take a read:

Eating is Important and Also Sensitive

Eating is a necessity. Food nourishes our bodies and is often present for many gatherings with friends and family. It can also be seen as a scary thing because it deals with weight, body image and self-worth. We encourage parents to read this lovely blog post written by our dietitian Brittany Cory so they know what to look out for. Just click the link below!

Toronto Counselling Centre for Teens

We at the Toronto Counselling Centre for Teens are passionate about teens. We love their energy, promise and ingenuity. The teenage years can be confusing, vulnerable and sometimes even volatile. We feel that it is an incredible honour to help a teen navigate those years, heal, grow, shift perspectives and shift relationships.

We believe that our work with teens is strategic: an investment in teens is an investment in the overall well-being of our communities. Successful counselling with teens gives each young person the opportunity to live the rest of their life released from significant internal struggle. Equipping youth to be healthy and hopeful friends, leaders, colleagues, partners and parents in their future adult life is our mission. We believe (and research indicates) that investment in this work, now, benefits the individual teen both now and in the future, as they grow into adulthood and participation in their own families and community contexts.
