Do you, a child, or adolescent that you know start your day already stressed wondering what the day will bring or wishing things could be better. I've been there, many people have been there: struggling or attempting to cope and adjust to various of life’s stressors: trauma, loss and grief, anxiety, depression, or behavioral problems. The exciting part is that you, the child, and adolescent that you know all have the tools and wisdom within to make the shift toward a better tomorrow. People sometimes need assistance, support, guidance, and a bit more strength and courage to tap into this inner wisdom

Take a step toward seeing your teenager reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
You just want the best for them. You try to connect, but they just shut you out. Their door is always closed. They used to love to sit with you and share their favorite shows, but now their seat is empty. It feels like a new person during these teen years, and you’re at a loss. You catch yourself wishing to see them smile like they used to. The signs they show feel like warnings; but there is no roadmap for this. You worry about their grades and their relationships. But mostly you worry the world seems to be crushing the person you care about most. Your heart breaks, and you’re ready to help bring your teenager's smile back.

The main thing that I ask of my clients is that they bring authentic, open-minded energy with them into the counseling space. I do not have a perfect client that comes to mind, but I most appreciate clients that are going to be honest and open about themselves and their goals so that we can create a strong relationship to serve as the foundation of healing. Willingness to face the hard moments and challenges of healing, interest in establishing long-term solutions, and an eagerness to consider new perspectives and find new understanding are also characteristics that are a great fit for my counseling space.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
