What is your go-to approach for teen counseling?

I work on building trust and a relationship so they will open up about their thoughts and feelings, especially because most of them don't want to be there and feel their parents are making them.

What tools do you teach in teen counseling?

I teach clients that their voices matter and that they have a place to share their thoughts and feelings.

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

I see progress when clients are less resistant to coming to sessions and open up.

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

What clients should supplement their time with depends on what issues we are working on, but some might do homework sheets.

What should someone do to prepare for starting teen counseling?

Clients should know that this is their session and their thoughts matter.

Starting Teen counseling in Austin

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 Austin 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 Austin, 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.

Cassandra- my provider, is amazing. She doesn't give me any answers, she just helps me process through them and helps me come up with the answers I need. She truly is an amazing provider and she makes a point to reflect on what she heard, give a little bit of feedback, then ask how the client feels about it.
