Professional Therapy for Children & Teens in Toronto

Growing up isn’t easy—kids and teens navigate big emotions, shifting friendships, school pressures, and family challenges. At CITC, our therapists provide evidence-based therapy to help them build resilience, manage emotions, and strengthen relationships. We use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help children and teens shift unhelpful thought patterns and develop effective coping skills, while interpersonal therapy (IPT) focuses on improving communication and navigating social challenges.

Therapy at CITC is tailored to each child’s needs, integrating approaches like mindfulness, acceptance-based strategies, and skill-building techniques. For younger children, play-based interventions can help them express emotions in a natural way, and when helpful, we involve parents or family members to support lasting change.
