Support for Adolescents Navigating Big Feelings, Identity, and Change

The teen years are full of growth - and with that growth often comes confusion, pressure, and emotional ups and downs. You might notice your teen feeling anxious, withdrawn, or easily overwhelmed. Maybe they’re struggling with self-esteem, relationships, or finding their place in a changing world.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer therapy for teens in Nepean and virtually across Ontario. Our therapists create a space where adolescents can slow down, talk openly, and begin to understand what’s happening inside - without judgment or pressure.

What is Teen Therapy?

Teen therapy is designed to meet adolescents where they are - developmentally, emotionally, and socially. It’s not about “fixing” your teen. It’s about giving them space to feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate this important stage of life.

We help teens:

  • Understand and manage strong emotions like anger, sadness, or anxiety
  • Build coping tools for stress, conflict, and life changes
  • Strengthen confidence, self-awareness, and decision-making
  • Explore identity, values, and relationships
  • Improve communication with family and peers

Sometimes, therapy gives teens a safe place to unpack and express what they can’t say elsewhere - and to discover that growth and healing are possible, even in hard seasons.

Common Reasons Teens Come to Therapy

Adolescence can bring emotional highs and lows, and therapy offers a steady, supportive anchor through it all.

We support teens navigating:

  • Anxiety, panic, or chronic worry
  • Depression, mood swings, or withdrawal
  • Self-esteem or social comparison
  • Academic stress or school avoidance
  • Family conflict or parental separation
  • Grief, trauma, or loss
  • Gender identity, sexual orientation, and LGBTQ2S+ support
  • Peer pressure, bullying, or relationship challenges
  • Self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or emotional regulation difficulties

Therapy doesn’t have to wait for a crisis. Many teens benefit from having a neutral, caring space to process life and develop tools for resilience and self-trust.

What to Expect in Teen Therapy at Four Wings Psychology

Our teen therapists understand how to connect with adolescents and create a space that feels both safe and empowering. Sessions are collaborative, flexible, and grounded in respect for your teen’s growing independence.

In therapy, your teen may:

  • Share what’s on their mind, at their own pace
  • Learn grounding and coping tools for stress or anxiety
  • Explore identity, relationships, and personal values
  • Build problem-solving and communication skills
  • Use creative approaches - like art, writing, or mindfulness - when helpful
  • Strengthen insight, self-compassion, and confidence over time

Parental involvement is tailored individually. We typically begin with a joint intake, keep you informed with your teen’s consent, and may offer parenting guidance to support communication and understanding at home.
