Teen counseling FAQs

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 Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh, PA 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.

I like how easy it is to pick out a therapist and that there is a bio and plenty of information about them. Scheduling is easy for the most part. I haven't had any tech issues. My therapist has always been on time and she is always curteous of the time. I think it's worth my co-pay I pay for sessions.

I almost always leave my therapy sessions with Shannon Brown feeling lighter because she creates a supportive, honest space where I feel truly heard. She is very professional, but still manages to make me feel like I’m talking to a friend who truly cares about my well-being. She challenges me to confront issues that I typically avoid. I appreciate that she communicates a clear plan for my therapy, yet still adapts to whatever is happening in my life or things I’d like to focus on. Her straightforward approach and encouragement has allowed me to open up more than I ever did with previous therapists. I feel like she’s equipping me with the tools to make some positive improvements on my mental health journey and helping me to understand myself better.
