What is your go-to approach for teen counseling?

My go-to approach in working with teens is to create a safe space for them to talk about their feelings without fear of repercussions. I feel that this allows them to be completely authentic with both me and themselves. I find the most benefit in being able to support them while encouraging them to make decisions that their future self will thank them for.

What tools do you teach in teen counseling?

I use a lot of distress tolerance skills, identity exploration, and strengths-based techniques in working with my teen clients.

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

I know a client is making progress when I can tell that they are thinking before they act and they bring real issues to therapy in order to discuss them in a constructive way.

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

Clients can implement the skills learned in therapy into their day to day lives

What should someone do to prepare for starting teen counseling?

I encourage all parents of teens to be honest with their children/teens about why they believe therapy will be helpful and make sure that the teen is also on board with the process.

Starting Teen counseling in Allentown

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 Allentown 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 Allentown, PA 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.
