Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a transformative approach used at Tournesol Psychological Services in Edmonton, Alberta, to help children and teens aged 8 to 19 navigate their emotional landscape and behavioural patterns.
CBT operates on the principle that thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are interconnected. We guide individuals in recognizing negative thought patterns that might contribute to emotional distress or unproductive behaviours. By pinpointing these patterns, we work collaboratively to reframe perspectives and replace negative thoughts with more rational and constructive ones. Simultaneously, CBT encourages clients to engage in positive behaviours aligned with their goals, fostering healthier coping mechanisms and emotional regulation.
This proactive strategy equips young individuals with practical skills to manage challenges, build resilience, and ultimately attain a greater sense of emotional well-being.

Feeling sad or upset occasionally is normal, but when these emotions become so overwhelming that they disrupt school or home life, it's possible that a mental health issue is at play. If your child is exhibiting signs of emotional distress, behavioural changes, or academic struggles, evidence-based counselling could be beneficial.
Common signs to look for include:

Sessions involve open dialogue, skill-building exercises, and cognitive strategies. We engage children and teens in meaningful conversations, equipping them with tools to navigate emotions, challenges, and personal growth.
At Tournesol, parental involvement is encouraged. While respecting your child's privacy, we strive to collaborate with parents to facilitate the application of strategies learned during counselling sessions.
It is important to remember that the time to see results varies depending on the individual's needs and progress. While some changes can be observed relatively quickly, more lasting results often emerge as children and teens consistently apply newly learned strategies.
The length of time children and teens require counselling varies based on the individual's goals and progress. Some benefit from short-term interventions, while others may require longer-term support.
