Teen counseling FAQs

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 Henrico 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 Henrico, VA 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.

Challenges Teens Face Today

Adolescence is a time of significant change and development. In addition to physical and emotional changes, teens today encounter various stressful situations, such as:

  • Divorce and family separation
  • Bullying and peer pressure
  • Romantic relationships
  • Issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity
  • Academic and parental expectations

These pressures can lead to mental health issues that interfere with a teen’s happiness and well-being. Additionally, genetic predispositions for mental health issues, such as bipolar disorder or addiction, may surface during the teenage years.

Teen Mental Health Risk Factors

While some teens adapt well to challenges, others may develop mental health problems, including:

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Eating disorders (e.g., bulimia, anorexia nervosa)
  • Substance abuse and addiction

Clinical risk factors include:

  • Physical or sexual abuse
  • Witnessing domestic violence
  • Bullying
  • Parental divorce or separation
  • Poverty or homelessness
  • Teenage pregnancy
  • Relocation or changing schools
  • Death of a loved one
  • Age-inappropriate responsibilities
  • Natural disasters

Teens may act out at school, become combative with parents, or turn to self-medicating to cope with stress. Effective teen counseling services are available to help address these issues.

Goals of Teen Counseling at Thriveworks Henrico

Parents should be vigilant for signs of negative behavior in their teens, especially those indicating severe depression or suicidal thoughts. School counselors, nurses, or family physicians may also recommend professional counseling. Discussing the benefits of counseling with your teen is crucial.

Counseling Methods

Our counselors employ various methods tailored to each teen’s needs, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Addresses negative thoughts and promotes positive behaviors.
  • Problem-Solving Therapy: Teaches healthy ways to manage issues.
  • Interpersonal Skills Development: Enhances positive interactions with others.
  • Group Therapy: Connects teens with peers facing similar challenges.
  • Family Therapy: Involves parents and siblings in a constructive setting.

In some cases, medication may be recommended to assist with clinically diagnosed mental health disorders.

★★★★★
Latoya is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in her craft. Her kindness, patience, and professionalism are what makes her stand out from other therapists. She has a way of letting me tell my story from my point of view. Then, she will correct and make recommendations tactfully and respectfully. I am so grateful to have had her as my counselor over the last few years. I am a better version of myself because of her advice.

LaToya and I have connected right from the first session. She presents confidently and always makes me feel as if she's excited to see me. Her confidence makes me comfortable to talk with her and that she will direct and redirect me gently.

I have been working with Latoya for well over two years and have developed a professional relationship to where nothing feels forced, they remember important life events, and it feels like a genuine conversation. Its monumental in the process of therapy when an outside party I have never met prior to these circumstances is able to relate, identify, and talk through/strategize ways of coping.

The therapy I’m receiving from Latoya has helped so much in the way I navigate life and handle my emotions and feelings. She has provided effective tools for relaxing, breathing, reflecting and calming down. I was at a very low, despairing point in my life, lacking self-confidence and having feelings of low self-worth, when I first came to Latoya. Over the weeks and months of therapy I have begun to thrive, finding joy in the simple things of life, exploring new hobbies and reconnecting with family and friends. My life has taken on new meaning and purpose for which I am so grateful. Shoutout to Latoya for her encouragement, her positive energy and her affirmations. She is empathetic and has a genuine concern for her clients and a dedication to the work she does. Thank you Thriveworks for being here.

We haven't really started on the therapy part yet, hence the neutral rating. We've only done the one intake session.
