Life as a teenager can be challenging and filled with emotional experiences that feel overwhelming at times.
I’m Regina D’Cruz, a Registered Psychotherapist in Etobicoke, Ontario, offering compassionate, personalized, and integrative counselling specifically tailored to teenagers and young adults.
As your therapist, my goal is to create a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where you feel truly heard and understood. Therapy can equip you with practical tools, coping strategies, and insights to manage anxiety, build self-esteem, navigate life transitions, and confidently embrace your identity.
I focus specifically on supporting teenagers facing:
When we work together, it’s all about your unique journey—your feelings, your challenges, and the changes you’d like to see. My integrative approach blends warmth and empathy with practical, evidence-based methods that resonate with your experiences. I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, but together, we’ll gently explore those old patterns that might feel comfortable yet aren’t helping you move forward. I’m here, ready to support you every step of the way.
My approach to counselling is personalized and integrative, ensuring your therapy sessions meet your unique needs. I offer flexible therapy formats:
If you’d like to test the waters before diving in, feel free to book an initial consultation to ask questions about my approach, the therapy process, and what you can expect during our sessions.
Begin your virtual therapy journey and experience the comfort and convenience of self-care. Online therapy has been shown to be as effective as in-person sessions.
Explore your inner world with nature as your backdrop. With early morning availability most of the year, walk-and-talk sessions can offer a refreshing alternative to traditional indoor therapy.
When you choose teen therapy with me, you’ll experience:
Let’s have an initial conversation to discuss your needs and determine if we’re a good match.
Once we decide to proceed, you’ll receive intake and consent forms to complete before your first session.
Attend your personalized therapy session either online or in a walk& talk session —whichever works best for you.
My counselling practice emphasizes trust, empathy, and confidentiality. I deeply understand the unique pressures and emotional challenges teenagers face today. My approach highlights your resilience, strengths, and potential for personal growth, aiming to empower you through each session. My sessions provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly discuss any topic, big or small—nothing is off-limits or too unusual. Confidentiality is crucial; what we discuss in therapy stays between us unless I believe there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others. You can always ask me more about this during our first session.
Taking the first step towards therapy is courageous and empowering. I’m here to support and encourage you every step of the way.
