Does your youth have low self-esteem and struggle believing in themselves? Are they scared of making mistakes and fear failure? The worries have started to affect their life and you are now stuck on what to do to help them. If your child is ready to take the step, counselling might be an avenue to improve confidence, manage worries, improve mood and develop coping skills. I provide psychotherapy services to youth (ages 12+) encountering: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, poor boundaries, overthinking, harsh inner critic, self-doubt, religious conflict/trauma, anger, post-trauma, relationship difficulties and life-transitions.

Mariam Zaveri, RP
My passions for child psychology and empathetic approach to therapeutic relationships with families have shaped my journey towards counselling and psychotherapy. I am deeply committed to helping individuals cope with life’s adversities, guiding them away from destructive thought patterns towards rejuvenation and resilience Having raised my own children along with working with adolescents and youths within the various school settings, have provided me with a profound understanding of children’s developmental milestones and the challenges that are currently faced by youths and young adults. Additionally, my experience working with the school board population has given me valuable insights into supporting neurodivergent youth with conditions such as ADHD, learning disabilities, and ASD. This combination of personal and professional experiences uniquely equips me to provide comprehensive support and guidance to individuals and families navigating life’s challenges and milestones.
