My go to approach in helping teens in counseling is cognitive behavioral and creative arts. I think it is helpful to look at ones past thoughts, behaviors and experiences and connect them to their current thoughts and behaviors. Teens are often so creative and want to express themselves through creativity. So for the teen that likes to express oneself through a creative avenue that creativity is used to facilitate their teen therapy sessions.
I know a teen is making meaningful progress when they feel excited about the changes they are making. Or when they try something new whether it is a new technique talked about in therapy or try a new activity.
Teens can supplement their time in counseling by completing tasks discussed in session. Or making connections from what they talked about in session to what they are doing between sessions.
A teen can prepare by knowing the intake is asking a lot of questions. Oftentimes, their parents or caregivers would need to report family history. The intake is a way to get to understand what brings them to therapy and what they want to get out of therapy. They can also be prepared to discuss what they want to get out of therapy. Oftentimes, they are told to go to therapy. A teen may have different goals they want to achieve. Be ready to discuss the goal you (the teen) has for themselves for therapy.
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.
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 Hoffman Estates have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
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.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Hoffman Estates, IL offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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.
