Counselling Services in Vaughan & Maple: Supporting Our Growing Community

Counselling services in Vaughan and Maple

As Vaughan continues to grow, our community faces increasing challenges in accessing timely and specialized mental health care. While policymakers and community leaders work to address broader healthcare infrastructure needs, many individuals and families still struggle to find appropriate psychological support close to home.

At Counselling Services for York Region, we recognize this gap. In response to the growing demand for mental health services in Vaughan and Maple, we have developed a team of highly qualified and experienced therapists dedicated to providing professional, ethical, and compassionate counselling.

Breakup and Divorce Counselling in Vaughan, Ontario

Breakup and divorce counselling in Vaughan Ontario

Breakups and divorce are emotionally challenging life transitions that can affect not only the couple involved, but also children, extended family members, and close friends. Whether you are ending a relationship or coping with being left, it is normal to experience a wide range of emotions such as sadness, anger, confusion, guilt, and grief.

These emotional responses can feel overwhelming and may interfere with daily functioning, including work performance, parenting, sleep, and overall mental health. Working with a registered psychologist in Vaughan can provide support, clarity, and coping strategies during this difficult period.

The goal of breakup and divorce counselling is to help individuals regain emotional balance, strengthen self-esteem, and reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress symptoms following the end of a relationship.

Helping Children Transition to Middle School

Preparing your child for the transition from elementary school to middle school can feel overwhelming for both parents and children. New routines, unfamiliar environments, and increased academic and social expectations can naturally lead to nervousness and anxiety. For families in Vaughan and York Region, planning ahead can make the first weeks of middle school feel more manageable.

Preparing children for middle school and managing school-related anxiety

As a psychologist, I frequently work with children and families navigating school-related anxiety. Many children—particularly those who experience anxiety—struggle with adjusting to new routines, expectations, and social dynamics. Preparing in advance can help reduce uncertainty and make the transition to middle school feel more manageable.

Thoughtful preparation allows children to build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and feel more in control as they enter a new stage of school life. If your child is already struggling, child and youth counselling can help them build coping skills and emotional resilience.
