My go-to approach is to help the adolescent create a unique self-identity, which is the essence of adolescence. This has to work in the context of their social milieu. Adolescents have a greater chance of getting derailed as evidenced by fear of not being accepted by same-sex friends and not being attractive to the opposite sex.
I use DBT, art therapy, and homework based on the presenting problem i.e. depression, anxiety, and behavior modification.
Adolescents will report better emotional regulation, stronger relationships, and increased acceptance of self.
Clients can complete homework and be prepared to review it in sessions.
Clients can begin to think about their goals for treatment.
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 Pueblo 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 Pueblo, CO 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.
