Starting Teen counseling in Franklin

What is teen counseling?

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.

How does teen counseling work?

Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Franklin have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.

Does my teen need therapy?

Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.

Is teen counseling conducted in person or online?

Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Franklin, MA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does teen counseling last?

The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.

Adolescent Therapy in Franklin, MA—Therapists and Counselors

It makes sense some teenagers are unhappy, stressed, and unhealthy! They have a lot going on! Adolescents also process the world differently. They have different priorities, emotional responses, and ways of problem solving than adults do. So how can you as a parent provide a happy, fulfilling life for your kids when you don’t even understand what’s going on? Sometimes it can seem like not enough love in the world will do it.

But you aren’t alone. Thriveworks Franklin has years of experience working with teenagers. No one can love your child in the way you do. And it is neither yours nor theirs fault that they’re struggling in some capacity. Counseling can shed a little light onto your adolescent’s struggles and help guide you both towards a happier, healthier life. You can get them the help they need by calling an adolescent counselor or therapist at Thriveworks Franklin at 617-360-7210.

How Can Adolescent Therapy Help?

Every session at Franklin Thriveworks will be different. This is because the two things every session will be is judgment-free and client-first. Your goals and vision are the most important part of a counseling session, and what exactly we talk about or do will be based off of that!

There is also no reason too big or too small that counseling can’t help with. Although we understand it can be a confusing and even scary decision-making process. To make it easier, here are some issues we see teenagers for:

  • Depression and Anxiety
  • Social anxiety
  • School stress
  • Video game addiction
  • Eating disorders
  • Discipline problems
  • Deviant behavior in school
  • Low self-esteem
  • Suicidal ideation
  • Perfectionism
  • Lying
  • Anger
  • Family dynamics
  • Self-harm

What Does Adolescent Therapy Look Like?

Every session will be unique! Our Thriveworks Franklin Adolescent counselors have many tools and years of experience to bring to the table, but much of it depends on your unique situation and personality.

For some teenagers, traditional talk therapy is all they need. Encouragement and the space to verbally work through problems is incredibly powerful. For others, we might employ techniques such as:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (identifying and changing bad thoughts and behavior)
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (how to cope with extreme emotions)
  • Mindfulness skills
  • Strength based strategies
  • Teaching coping and self-awareness skills
  • Communication skills
  • Positive psychology
  • Art and music therapy

Scheduling Teen Therapy at Thriveworks Franklin

There are some dark times in the teenage years. But no matter how the situation may look, there is always hope. Franklin Thriveworks is here and excited to walk alongside your teen as they work towards the happy, fulfilling life they deserve!
