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 Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh, PA 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.

The only thing I miss is being in person--which I know isn't possible given where each of us lives.

I appreciate how well the Thriveworks team matched me with my provider and cared about the things that were important to me! I'm really enjoying therapy and feel that the online format is a perfect fit for me right now.

I thoroughly believe that Thriveworks has NOTHING to do with my experience. Sorry, not sorry. Because my experience is tied to the individual who is providing me with the talk therapy. If Thriveworks was the accredited educational institution of which my therapist recieved their degree from on psychology, then I would say that Thriveworks is doing an amazing job. So in saying that, I CAN say that Thriveworks is doing a great job on their recruitment of excellent therapists, or at least, in my case of Holly Blass. I feel like my life and experiences are truly benefiting from my sessions with Holly Blass.

The ease of finding a therapist (specifically the ability to filter by specialty) and then scheduling online was excellent. The councilors I've dealt with so far (for individual and couples therapy) have been responsive, accommodating, and very helpful - even before the intake session.

The person who was assigned to me has been helping me with my issue, we are still early in our visits but she has giving me several good things to help me along and I'm sure that I'm not even close to being fully helped so my insights are only sadly on 3 visits. But she is helping me.
