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 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 , MD 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 believe in this type of Field the only thing the company can do is to continue hiring people who have the same mindset and teaching as Kyle Kunkel. She has been everything I needed, and more she has the mindset and the teaching to really guide you through your journey. I believe if you have more coaches like this that do not judge and have an open mind. I believe this will not only help the company thrive but help the patients thrive Through their journey through life.

Darwin is patient and kind on top of being highly professional, very skilled at what he does, and incredibly informed about trauma. He has helped me through some of the worst experiences in my life and has changed the way my brain can process stress. I recently dealt with the suicide of a close friend. Darwin's help was immeasurable. Thank you for supporting clients and for having such great therapists at the practice.
