Waterloo CBT Clinic

“Failure to launch" is not a clinical diagnosis but it is a common term used to describe young adults who struggle to transition into independent adulthood. It impacts millions of families. It might look like living at home long-term, avoiding work or school, and lacking motivation to pursue goals. The root causes are varied and include mental health conditions, family dynamics, low self-esteem, and external stressors like economic hardship. Parent coaching is often a central aspect of treatment, giving parents the tools and skills to help them support their child without reinforcing unhelpful behaviours. Support for the child can also be helpful to give them the tools and skills to overcome underlying mental health concerns that may be contributing.

From tantrums to anxiety, parenting can pose different challenges and knowing how to navigate them can be tough. Parent coaching involves working with a child psychologist to develop strategies and skills to better manage your child’s emotions and behaviours. We have some availability for parent coaching sessions this summer.

We’re happy to announce that we are expanding and a new therapist has joined our team at The Waterloo CBT Clinic! This means we currently have shorter than usual wait-times as well as evening and weekend availability for evidence-based psychological services.
