Sheena Singh- Specializing in Child and Teen Therapy
Hello, I'm Sheena, a registered psychotherapist in Brampton specializing in psychotherapy for children, teens, young adults, and families.
I work with parents and children aged 3–12, as well as teens and young adults aged 13–30, tailoring each therapy session to meet the unique needs, strengths, and experiences of individuals or families. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all; I take the time to get to know you, allowing us to shape our work together in a way that feels right for you or your family. My approach is rooted in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic and attachment-based therapy, focusing on understanding what lies beneath the surface—how past experiences, relationships, and emotions have influenced your life and continue to affect your present.
With over 10 years of experience across childcare, clinical, developmental, community, and substance use settings, my work with children, teens, young adults, and families has allowed me to build meaningful relationships during some of life’s most challenging moments. Witnessing children grow in confidence, families strengthen their bonds, and young people gain a deeper understanding of themselves is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role and inspires me daily.
I am equally inspired by connecting with children, teens, and young adults in ways that feel genuine and authentic. While I bring professional knowledge and clinical training into each session, I also believe that as a psychotherapist, it’s essential to remember how to play, imagine, wonder, and be curious alongside my clients. Sometimes therapy is filled with laughter, creativity, and discovery; other times, it involves sitting together through tears, uncertainty, or difficult emotions. Every moment holds value and deserves to be met with compassion and care.
I believe behavior often serves as a form of communication. Whether someone feels anxious, withdrawn, overwhelmed, or struggles with intense emotions, I become curious about what these experiences might be expressing. Instead of merely managing symptoms, we will delve into understanding the patterns beneath them, fostering opportunities for deeper, lasting change.
When working with children, I utilize play as a means of expression. Through games, art, stories, and creative activities, children can communicate feelings that are often challenging to articulate. I meet children at their own pace, creating a safe space for them to be themselves. Additionally, I work closely with parents and caregivers, understanding that your relationship with your child is crucial for their growth and healing. My goal is for you to leave sessions with a deeper understanding of your child's emotional world and increased confidence in supporting them.
In teen therapy services, the therapeutic process becomes a collaborative dialogue. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know where to start. We will progress at a respectful pace, gently exploring thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may feel daunting. I believe growth emerges not from pressure, but from feeling supported enough to face challenging experiences with curiosity, honesty, and self-compassion.
I also recognize the significant role culture, identity, and family experiences play in shaping who we are. I strive to create a space where you feel respected, accepted, and comfortable being your authentic self.
At the heart of my work lies the belief that feeling deeply understood can be a powerful catalyst for change. My hope is that when you leave our sessions, you will feel less alone, gain a greater understanding of yourself or your child, and move forward with increased clarity, confidence, and hope.
