Frequently Asked Questions About Teen Therapy
Teen therapy is a form of psychotherapy specifically tailored to address the unique emotional and developmental needs of adolescents, helping them navigate challenges during their teenage years.
Therapy can help teenagers understand and manage their emotions, develop coping strategies for stress, improve communication skills, boost self-esteem, and address specific issues like anxiety, depression, or behavioral problems.
Signs may include changes in mood or behavior, withdrawal from friends or activities, declining academic performance, sleep disturbances, increased irritability, or comments expressing hopelessness or distress.
The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual needs of the teen. It can range from a few months to longer, as needed.
Yes, teen therapy is confidential. Therapists may, however, discuss general progress with parents while respecting the teen’s privacy.
While teen therapy primarily focuses on the adolescent, parents may be involved in certain aspects of the process, such as initial consultations or family therapy sessions, as deemed appropriate.
Common approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness techniques, among others, tailored to the teen’s individual needs.
Therapy sessions are typically held once a week, but the frequency can be adjusted based on the teen’s needs and progress.
It’s not uncommon for teens to be hesitant about therapy. We recommend discussing the benefits openly and giving them a say in the decision. Sometimes, meeting the therapist beforehand can help alleviate concerns.
You can begin by contacting our office to schedule an initial consultation. During this meeting, we will discuss your concerns, assess your teen’s needs, and explain how our therapy services can help.
