In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.

Does my teen need therapy?

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.
