raising healthy teenagers just got easier (*eye roll*)

... no, for real.

Breaking Barriers. Building Resilience. Together

Healthy Routes reshapes mental health support by equipping teens and parents with resilience-building strategies, life skills, and integrative counseling. Through our solution-focused approach, we guide families to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence, offering real-world solutions that work.​

"As a parent, I feel a huge boulder has been lifted from my shoulders knowing my daughter has someone to talk to during difficult times"

– Cynthia H (Ottawa Parent)

WE help families

bridge THE GAP

Your teen is on a journey to discover who they are, and this often comes with testing boundaries, taking risks and cutting back on how much they really tell you.

 

Our job is to help reduce the likelihood of your teen "becoming just another statistic" by giving them the MISSING TOOLS that help them develop healthier habits, outlets, friendships and coping techniques that will last a lifetime.

"Our unique approach is working!"

After over one thousand in-home visits since 2020, Healthy Routes has found that the most effective way to help our teens is by shifting their focus from "I'm broken" to "I'm capable".

​

We do this by teaching them to look BEYOND their circumstances, challenges and conditions (like ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, etc.) and show them how to develop a greater sense of resiliency, accountability, independence.

"We're not like other counseling services"

We focus on EMOTIONAL MASTERY & LIFE SKILLS that last a lifetime —helping them form healthier relationships, coping mechanisms and decision making skills far into adulthood.

​

The best part? Unlike traditional therapy, our programs don't last forever. Most families only need us for about 3-12 months, depending on the level of extra-care and support they are looking for...
