Teens can benefit from a variety of counseling modalities including CBT and TF-CBT. Teens can struggle with conditions that impact how they feel, act, or learn.
Tools that I use to support teens in therapy include active listening, reflection, regulation-skill building, and CBT skills such as cognitive challenging and reframing.
A teen can realize they are making progress when they notice a decrease in destructive or unhelpful behavior and an increase in their ability to identify emotions and choose healthier behaviors.
Teens can supplement their time in therapy by engaging in hobbies or sports that promote community, volunteering, learning a new skill, journaling, or using mindfulness techniques.
To prepare for teens for counseling, help them identify what they would like to work on in therapy.
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 Attleboro 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 Attleboro, MA 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.
