My go-to approach for helping people in teen counseling is art therapy. I find that teens are more willing to open up when their hands are busy making art.
I teach the following tools in teen counseling: identification and appropriate expression of emotions, coping strategies to better manage feelings of anxiety and depression, and increasing self-esteem.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling when they are exhibiting positive expressions of emotions, fewer disagreements at school or home, and more willingness to assert their needs and wants.
Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling through journaling, on paper or on an app, and mindfulness.
To prepare for their first teen counseling session, a teen can come with an open mind and think about some goals that they want to work on in 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 Roanoke 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 Roanoke, VA 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.
