Dina is simply the best counsellor I’ve ever had. She has the ability to really dig deep into the emotions, grasp what’s happening beyond the surface, and connect the dots to help understand the bigger picture of what’s happening and how to face it. I’ve been to different counsellors before but I can truly see the positive impact of Dina’s practice. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s great!

Your description of Dina's ability to dig deep, grasp what's happening beyond the surface, and connect the dots to help you see the bigger picture really captures her skill as a therapist. That kind of insight and understanding is what transforms therapy from just talking to genuine growth and healing. We're thrilled that you're seeing such a positive impact from your work with Dina, and we deeply appreciate your strong recommendation. Thank you for trusting Well Beings Counselling with your mental health journey, and for taking the time to share how Dina has made such a difference for you.

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Rick. However, it appears this review may have been intended for a different organization. Well Beings Counselling does not operate treatment facilities or issue graduation certificates - we provide outpatient counselling and therapy services. Your review mentions "Emerge" and references a treatment center experience, which suggests this feedback was meant for another facility. We encourage you to review your recent activity and post this feedback on the correct business profile so they can address your concerns about the missing graduation certificate.

Proven Approaches for Teen Therapy We Trust in

Well Beings Counselling believes in using scientifically proven approaches to treat cognitive behaviour effectively and safely. Our therapy methods are grounded in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), family therapy, play therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy. The approaches help teens recognize the patterns behind distressing thoughts and support their minds in responding with emotional steadiness and a stronger sense of self.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a teen counselling approach that helps teens understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact to influence mental health.

Well Beings Counselling trusts cognitive behavioural therapy to support teens experiencing emotional distress, behavioural issues, or mental health disorders that affect daily life and relationships. Each session includes thought records and cognitive restructuring in cognitive behavioural therapy, challenging unhelpful patterns through Socratic questioning as a guided process. Our registered therapists at Well Beings Counselling also apply behavioural activation and exposure therapy to help teens reduce avoidance, build coping skills, and regain control over emotional responses.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a teen counselling approach that combines cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with mindfulness to help teens manage overwhelming emotions and build healthier relationships.

Well Beings Counselling applies dialectical behaviour therapy to support teens struggling with emotional dysregulation, impulsive behaviours, or patterns associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD) through the lens of biosocial theory. Each session focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help teens strengthen their ability to respond constructively. Our registered therapists at Well Beings Counselling use dialectical behaviour therapy strategies to enhance self-awareness, improve emotional balance, and support long-term behavioural change.

Family Therapy

Family therapy explores relational dynamics and communication patterns to resolve emotional and behavioural challenges within the family system.

Well Beings Counselling trusts family therapy to understand how each family member’s role contributes to ongoing teen behaviour and emotional distress. Our registered therapists apply structural family therapy, Bowenian family therapy, and strategic family therapy.  Each family therapy session at Well Beings Counselling integrates narrative therapy and genogram work to identify generational patterns that shape present dynamics and strengthen long-term emotional resilience.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT)

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) is an adolescent therapy designed to address post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma through evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy strategies.

Well Beings Counselling trusts TF-CBT to support teens experiencing emotional distress by combining trauma processing with cognitive behavioural therapy to help reframe painful memories. Our registered therapists implement PRACTICE components in TF-CBT, such as psychoeducation, relaxation, and cognitive coping, to reduce trauma-related symptoms and build healthy coping habits. Each TF-CBT session at Well Beings Counselling encourages caregiver involvement to strengthen family support and reinforce emotional healing beyond the therapy room.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is a structured and evidence-based therapeutic method that uses play as a medium to help children and teens express emotions, resolve conflicts, and develop coping skills.

Well Beings Counselling trusts play therapy because it builds a strong therapeutic alliance, allowing teens to feel emotionally safe while engaging in meaningful expression. Our registered therapists use child-centred play therapy (CCPT) and balance it with directive play therapy to address both internal struggles and behavioural challenges. We support emotional healing through non-directive play, sand tray therapy, and art therapy, giving each teen a creative outlet to process difficult experiences at their own pace.

Art Therapy

Art therapy is a recognized form of psychotherapy that uses the creative process to help teens explore emotions, improve mental health, and support trauma healing.

Well Beings Counselling trusts art therapy because it transforms emotional expression into something visible, giving teens a voice when words fall short. Our registered therapists guide each session using expressive arts to gently uncover inner distress while maintaining a non-judgmental and secure space. Art Therapy supports trauma healing through consistent engagement in the creative process, offering a proven path toward improved mental health and long-term emotional resilience.

Music Therapy

Music therapy is a clinically proven method that utilizes musical engagement to enhance emotional regulation, mental health, and social functioning in teenagers.

Well Beings Counselling trusts music therapy because it combines emotional safety with structured rhythm-based interventions that deepen therapeutic impact. Our registered therapists work closely with teens by using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques within music therapy sessions. Guided by the standards of the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA), we offer neurologic music therapy (NMT) for neurodivergent teens, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to promote sensory balance, social connection, and long-term mental health support.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a short-term, strengths-based approach that helps teens move toward meaningful change by emphasizing solutions, future-oriented thinking, and what’s already working.

Well Beings Counselling trusts solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) because it empowers teens to recognize progress through focused conversations rooted in the brief therapy model. Our registered therapists use SFBT techniques like the miracle question, exception questions, and scaling questions to spark insight, build confidence, and shift attention toward achievable goals. Using a strengths-based approach, SFBT promotes future-oriented thinking that supports emotional clarity and resilience during the challenges of adolescence.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT)

Mindfulness-based therapy is a clinically supported approach that combines present moment awareness with therapeutic techniques to help teens reduce emotional overwhelm and regain mental clarity.

Well Beings Counselling uses mindfulness therapy to support teens who experience anxiety, mood swings, or constant overthinking through simple grounding techniques and emotional observation. Well Beings Counselling trusts mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and structured meditation to help teens. Each session blends mindfulness with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to interrupt negative thought patterns and create emotional space for calm, control, and clarity.
