My go-to approach for helping people in teen therapy depends on the individual's needs. I find the best benefit in making the session more individualized to make the most out of teen therapy, whether it's through using DBT, structural therapy, etc.
I teach the following tools in teen therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in teen therapy when they have minimal symptoms compared to their intake session and can identify more effective strategies to better manage those symptoms.
Clients can supplement their time in teen therapy with homework assignments given at the end of therapy sessions and by practicing journaling.
To prepare for their first teen therapy session, a teen can expect their parents to be present for consent to treatment and engage in the joining process with the therapist.
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 Norwalk 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 Norwalk, CT 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.
