What is your go-to approach for teen counseling?

Teens need a special approach to build trust and rapport. Teens have to be willing to participate and cannot be forced.

What tools do you teach in teen counseling?

Using additional interventions along with traditional talk therapy such as crafts, sand tray therapy, and other games is effective.

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

Teens are very transparent in saying if they feel better if therapy is effective or not.

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

Parents need to understand that teens need privacy and that confidentiality is needed in counseling or trust cannot be maintained. Asking questions about what happens in sessions is very counter-productive.

What should someone do to prepare for starting teen counseling?

Please make sure your teen is willing to participate in therapy and that they have goals for counseling.

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 Pearland 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 Pearland, TX 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.

V Ashleigh was excellent. I wish we had more sessions with her but insurance tangled us up. Counseling via Zoom was my first. It takes longer to get acquainted when not in person. But it was convenient.

Stephanie is amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone.
