Therapy for Minors in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Children, adolescents, and teens can experience many of the same emotional challenges as adults, but they may not always have the words to explain what they’re feeling. Changes at home, school pressures, friendship difficulties, family conflict, and major life events can affect their mood, behaviour, confidence, and sense of safety.
At Stick & Stone Counselling Services, we provide therapy for minors in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We offer a welcoming, client-centred space where young people can express themselves in ways that feel comfortable and appropriate for their age. We also work with parents and caregivers when helpful, while respecting the young person’s privacy and individual needs.
Concerns Addressed in Therapy
Children, adolescents, and teens may benefit from therapy for many concerns, including:
Anxiety, worry, and fears
Depression and low mood
School stress and academic pressure
Bullying and peer conflict
Family changes, separation, or divorce
Grief and loss
Trauma and difficult experiences
ADHD and neurodiversity
Behavioural concerns
Anger and emotional regulation
Low self-esteem
Friendship and social challenges
Body image concerns
Identity questions
Sleep difficulties
Self-harming behaviours
Major life transitions
For younger children, play therapy may be used to help them communicate feelings and experiences through play, creativity, and imagination. Because children often express themselves differently than adults, play therapy can help a therapist better understand what a child may be trying to communicate.
For adolescents and teens, therapy may focus more on conversation, coping skills, relationships, decision-making, and emotional awareness. The approach will depend on the young person’s age, comfort level, and goals.
