Teen counseling FAQs

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 San Jose 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 San Jose, CA 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.

Provider was very good and knowledgeably

Blanca is an amazing therapist. I always feel heard and supported during our sessions. Any time I have problems in my life, we find ways to find solutions that genuinely work when I apply them. They are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and make therapy fun to go to. I always leave my sessions better than when I started and am so grateful for that. They are the best therapist I've ever had and I hope to keep having sessions for a long time.

Alex is exactly what I needed in a therapist—she’s a great listener, can jump right back into a topic even if we haven’t spoken in a couple months, and is very good at pushing back. She’s really helped me manage some of my negative thought patterns, get better at knowing when I’m feeling depressed, and put me in better control of my anxiety.
