What is your go-to approach for teen counseling?

I enjoy helping teenagers become more self-aware and emotionally mature. I believe that investing in the mental health of our future generation is crucial!

What tools do you teach in teen counseling?

It is important for teens to learn emotional vocabulary in order to discern their own feelings. It is also important for them to learn how to regulate themselves emotionally, and I teach those types of skills.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling?

Teens are making progress in therapy when they can consistently notice their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and intervene with skills as needed to keep themselves balanced.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement teen counseling?

Teenagers can benefit from podcasts, books, exercise, prayer/meditation, journaling, and creative arts activities.

What should someone do to prepare for starting teen counseling?

To prepare for their first session, teens should consult with their parents/guardians regarding the informed consent paperwork.

Starting Teen counseling

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 Marietta 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 Marietta, GA 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.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
