At VOX Mental Health, we know how challenging it can be for children and teens to navigate their mental health, and we’re here to help them—and their families—through it. Adolescents experience emotions more intensely than adults but often lack the tools to manage them effectively. Through therapy, children and teens learn emotional regulation, empathy, and self-awareness, helping them develop confidence and manage difficult feelings and situations.

The Benefits of Therapy for Children and Teens
Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space where kids and teens can talk openly about emotions, school and social issues, family stress, and mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. A therapist helps them recognize how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interconnect and offers coping skills for better handling stress, sadness, anger, and social anxiety.

At VOX, we focus on teaching young clients:

• Self Awareness to help them understand what they are feeling, and why they are feeling it
• Emotional regulation to handle intense feelings without feeling overwhelmed.
• Communication skills to express themselves clearly and appropriately.
• Healthy coping strategies for managing anxiety, school pressure, or conflicts at home.
• Self-confidence to foster a positive self-image and develop resilience.

Why Families Benefit Too
A family approach is also an option for parents who want to be part of the therapeutic process, as it helps parents and caregivers better understand their child’s emotional world. Family sessions focus on strengthening parent-child bonds, improving communication, and creating a supportive home environment. When parents work alongside their children in therapy, they can better help reinforce the skills learned, making therapy a more positive and productive experience for the whole family.

What VOX Therapy Sessions Involve
Therapy sessions at VOX Mental Health for children and teens vary based on each client’s needs, but they often involve:

1. Talking through feelings: Putting emotions into words reduces their intensity and creates a sense of understanding.
2. Learning new skills: Therapists teach self-talk, mindfulness, and ways to handle challenges.
3. Practicing self-awareness: Teens learn to recognize their strengths, which can boost self-worth and confidence.
