What is your go-to approach for teen counseling?

My go-to approach for helping people in teen counseling is creative arts therapy. I find the best benefit in creative arts therapy because it provides a way of expressing and processing emotions without having to discuss them directly.

What tools do you teach in teen counseling?

I teach the following skills in teen counseling:1. Mindfulness - Learning to be present in the moment and direct the focus of your thoughts.2. Calming skills - Learning to soothe yourself when experiencing difficult or overwhelming emotional experiences.3. Communication skills - Learning how to express your feelings, wants, and needs in a clear and healthy way.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling when they feel safe opening up to me and they and their parents tell me that they are noticing changes at home and at school.

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

Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling by practicing non-judgmental communication or doing activities with loved ones that they enjoy.

What should someone do to prepare for starting teen counseling?

To prepare for their first teen counseling session, teens can consider how they would like their lives to be different at the end of therapy or what they will need to feel comfortable with their new therapist.

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 Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth, 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.

I love my Dr Odu-Onikosi. But I have had several very bad experiences with the appt makers and supervisors over the appt making ( if there are any supervisors ....as no one has ever called me back ) The mis information they provide is gross and straight up not correct. You are probably losing patients over this as if I didn't like my Dr so much this second instance would have made me stop using Thrive for my needs all together.
