Supporting Teens and Young Adults Through Life’s Challenges
At Cultivate Mental Health, we focus on helping teens and young adults discover their strengths and develop practical life skills. Our counselling sessions are designed to encourage curiosity, creativity, and self-expression, providing opportunities to practice problem-solving, decision-making, and goal-setting.
Rather than centering on specific challenges, therapy can be a place for young people to explore their interests, clarify their values, and plan for the future. Through guided activities and discussions, teens and young adults gain tools for effective communication, time management, and personal growth—preparing them to navigate school, work, and relationships with confidence and independence.
Teens & Adolescence (13+)
Low-Cost Counselling (Ages 13+)
Accessible, Empathetic, and Supervised Care
At Cultivate Mental Health, we believe that financial barriers should not prevent you from accessing high-quality therapeutic support. Our Low-Cost Counselling is provided by a Master’s-level Student Therapist who offers empathetic, non-judgmental, and collaborative care.
This is a supportive space to explore:
-
Anxiety & Stress: Managing daily overwhelm and building resilience.
-
Life Transitions: Navigating the “big shifts” in identity, career, or school.
-
Relationship Concerns: Understanding your connections and communication.
-
Identity & Self-Worth: A safe space for self-discovery and growth.
The Quality of Supervised Care
All sessions are closely supervised by Crystal Tierney, Registered Psychotherapist. This ensures that while you are working with a student, your care is grounded in the same evidence-based, trauma-informed practices and clinical professionalism found across all services at Cultivate.
