Child, Teen & Family Therapy in Barrie, Ontario

Compassionate Counselling for Life’s Tough Transitions

Are you or your child feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just not like yourself lately?

Whether it's a major life transition like divorce, grief, or family conflict — or the everyday pressures of growing up — it's common to feel lost during times of change. Even positive transitions can bring unexpected stress, anxiety, or emotional turbulence.

At Sweet Spot Family Counselling, we specialize in helping children, teens, and families navigate the emotional ups and downs that come with life’s difficult moments. Our experienced and compassionate therapists are here to support you every step of the way.


What We Offer

We provide child therapy, teen counseling, and family therapy both in-person at our Barrie, ON location and virtually across Ontario. Our therapists create a safe, welcoming space for kids, adolescents, and families to process emotions, build healthier communication, and develop meaningful coping strategies.

Whether you're navigating:

  • Family transitions like divorce or blended families

  • ADHD and Autism Diagnosis
  • Grief and loss

  • Emotional struggles like anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem

  • Behavioural challenges or school stress

  • Or just feeling stuck and unsure where to begin...

We’re here to help you and your loved ones reconnect and move forward with confidence.


Who We Are

Sweet Spot Family Counselling is a team of licensed psychotherapists who are passionate about supporting families through change. Our collective experience includes working with children, teens, and parents through every stage of the journey — from emotional meltdowns to family breakdowns and everything in between.

Meet our team  https://sweetspotcounselling.com/about/ and find the right therapist for your needs.


You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone

Maybe you can’t quite name what’s wrong — you just know something doesn’t feel right. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Through personalized and compassionate counselling, we help you or your child explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, we create a plan that helps you move from confusion and overwhelm to clarity and healing.

You’re still in the driver’s seat — we’re just your co-pilot, guiding the way.

Counselling for Life Transitions

Support for Families, Parents, Teens & Individuals in Barrie and Across Ontario

Life transitions can be some of the most emotionally challenging times we face — even when they’re expected.

At Sweet Spot Family Counselling, we specialize in therapy for individuals and families navigating change. Whether the transition was planned or came as a shock, it often leaves you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or emotionally stuck.

We’re here to help you make sense of it all and move forward with confidence.

Common Life Transitions We Support:

  • Separation and divorce

  • Co-parenting challenges and blended family dynamics

  • Pregnancy and postpartum transitions

  • Grief and loss from death, illness, or unexpected change

  • Adolescence and teen development, including ADHD and Autism Diagnosis 

  • Post-secondary transitions (university, leaving home)

  • Empty nest syndrome and later-life identity shifts


Is This You or Someone You Love?

People often come to us feeling lost, stuck, or emotionally exhausted — sometimes without a clear reason why. You might be experiencing:

Persistent fatigue or burnout

Intense emotions like anxiety, sadness, and anger

Low self-esteem or always second-guessing yourself

Difficulty setting boundaries or saying “no”

Feeling like everyone else is thriving, except you

Struggles in relationships, parenting, or partnership

Increased substance use to cope

A deep sense of disconnection from life, family, or purpose

These symptoms are common during life transitions, and they’re nothing to be ashamed of. With the right support, you don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode.


How Can Counselling Help?

Imagine being able to meet life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and calm.

Therapy gives you a space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface, break free from limiting beliefs, and build new tools to move forward. Together, we help you reconnect with yourself and your goals, so you can live a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.

You don’t have to go through this alone.


Accessible Counselling in Barrie & Across Ontario

We offer flexible therapy options to meet you where you’re at:

In-person counselling at our Barrie, Ontario office

Virtual therapy sessions across Ontario

Phone and secure telehealth options

✨ FREE 15-minute phone consultations are available for all new clients. Let’s talk and see how we can support you or your family through this next chapter.
