What is your go-to approach for teen counseling?

My go-to approach with teens is to first explain to them that they are my client, not their parents. That does not negate them being the client's guardian or having to answer to their parents in daily life, but I let the client know that our time together is a safe space to process and talk about things that they feel they cannot discuss with others.

What tools do you teach in teen counseling?

In teen counseling, the tool I like to use the most is having empathy and understanding for their parents. For example, if your parent is upset, you don’t speak to them — we will discuss the client's point of view and then try to see things from their parents' point of view, as well as see if we can meet somewhere in the middle.

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

I know a teen is making progress in therapy when the conversation begins to flow easily.

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

Prompt journals are great for teens to supplement their time in counseling.

What should someone do to prepare for starting teen counseling?

The best way to prepare for counseling is to be open-minded.

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 Irving 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 Irving, 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.

Extremely easy set up and user friendly system. Love that I get weekly zoom links so I don't have any trouble getting into my sessions.

It's more like having a conversation instead of feeling like you're in a session, which works perfect for me. I'm glad Mrs. Bradley was assigned to me.

I've had such a great experience with Thriveworks that I already recommend it to my close friends and family.. . Before starting therapy, I was really nervous and unsure if it would be the right fit for me. But I eventually decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did—especially after connecting with Marcia. In just a few months, I've noticed real improvement in myself, and now I just want to maintain that progress.. . Marcia is truly wonderful. Before each session, I sometimes worry that I won't know what to talk about or that it might feel awkward. But she makes every session feel natural and engaging. She always asks how I'm doing, remembers small details from past sessions, and brings up topics I may have only briefly mentioned, which shows how much she listens and cares. Most importantly, she helps me process my emotions in a healthy way.. . I'm really grateful for this experience, and I appreciate the thoughtful, supportive approach Thriveworks provides.
