Learning how to cope with change can sometimes prove to be difficult. Therapy is a great gateway toward learning to cope with the loss of a loved one, change of work/school, going through a different stage in your life, or any kind of challenges you may face.

My go-to approach for helping people in teen counseling is listening, validating, and journeying alongside them as they grow and progress in healthy skills.
I teach the following tools in teen counseling: conflict resolution, empathy, coping skills, social skills, and goal resolution.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling when they are motivated in sessions and eager to use their skills in the moment.
Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling by going outside, spending quality time with loved ones, utilizing hobbies, and trying new hobbies.
To prepare for their first teen counseling session, a teen can take their time to build trust with the therapist and talk when they are ready.
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.
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 Midland have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
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.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Midland, TX offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
