Teen Therapy In Burlington
Teen Therapy In Burlington
Is life feeling heavier than usual? Like you’re trying to keep it together, but no one really gets what’s going on?
Or, are you the parent trying to help your teen and struggling to understand them?
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Adolescence can be both exciting and challenging. Many teens struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, social pressures, or difficulty managing emotions. At Evergreen Therapeutics, our goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for teens to explore what they’re going through and learn healthy ways to cope. Our team of therapists offers compassionate teen therapy in Burlington designed to help young people feel understood and empowered.
Each teen’s experience is unique. Some may be facing stress related to school or friendships, while others might be navigating identity, family conflict, or mood changes. Our approach focuses on understanding what’s underneath the behaviour — not just the surface symptoms — so that lasting growth and confidence can take root.
Teen Therapy Burlington
Through personalized sessions, we help teens build emotional awareness, resilience, and coping tools that serve them throughout life. Whether your teenager is experiencing anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to change, our therapists provide a calm, non-judgmental space for open conversation. By connecting with a trained professional, your teen can begin to process challenges and develop stronger emotional regulation.
Challenges We Help Teens Through
Anxiety
Feeling constantly worried, restless, or unable to switch off can be draining. We work with you to understand what triggers your anxiety and develop strategies to feel more in control. Learn more about how we can support you.
Emotion Regulation
Strong emotions—stress, anger, sadness, or feeling overwhelmed—can make it hard to think clearly or respond in the way you want. We help you understand your emotions, manage reactions, and develop strategies to feel more balanced. Learn more about emotion management support.
Suicidal Ideation & Self-Harm
Feeling like life is too heavy or thinking about hurting yourself can be frightening. We are here to listen, support you through these moments, and help you find safety and hope. Learn more about our support for suicidal ideation and self-harm.

Our Treatment Approach
At Evergreen Therapeutics, we use evidence-based methods to support meaningful change. Together, we focus on creating a foundation for growth and self-acceptance.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you see how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. By noticing unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of thinking and coping, you can feel better and make lasting changes.
Best for anxiety, depression, phobias, stress, and unhelpful thought patterns.

Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment with openness and without judgment. It can help reduce stress, increase calm, and bring more clarity to daily life.
Helpful when working with stress reduction, anxiety, depression, and overall well-being.
Learn more about our approach here.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills to manage emotions, handle stress, improve relationships, and stay present. It’s especially helpful if big feelings or strong reactions feel hard to control.
Helpful for intense emotions, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, borderline personality disorder, and relationship difficulties.
Learn more about our approach here.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that helps the brain process and heal from difficult or traumatic experiences. By using guided eye movements or similar techniques, EMDR reduces the emotional distress tied to painful memories so you can move forward with greater ease.
Designed for trauma, PTSD, and distressing memories.
Learn more about our approach here.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you understand and heal the different “parts” of yourself—like the protective, critical, or hurt parts—so they can work together in a healthier way. This creates more self-compassion, balance, and inner peace.
Useful for trauma, inner conflict, self-criticism, and building self-compassion.
Learn more about our approach here.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-Informed Care is an approach that understands how past difficult or painful experiences can affect your present life. It focuses on creating a safe, supportive space where healing can happen at your pace.
A supportive foundation for anyone with a history of trauma, ensuring safety and trust while addressing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles.
Learn more about our approache here.
Counselling Teenagers and Psychotherapy Services for Teens
Our counselling for teenagers encourages self-expression and helps them feel heard in ways that might be difficult with family or peers. We believe therapy should meet teens where they are — relatable, collaborative, and empowering. Our psychotherapy services for teens support the development of healthy coping skills and self-awareness that extend beyond the therapy room.
Supporting your teen’s mental health today can make all the difference in their future well-being. At Evergreen Therapeutics, we’re here to help your teen gain confidence, strengthen relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.
