Teen therapy is counseling with someone who talks with teenagers rather than at them. Some teens come in over school, anxiety, or anger. Some come in over a family change, a loss, bullying, or a sense of self-worth that has taken a beating.
Parents usually make the first call, and that is fine. What happens after that is a working relationship between your teen and their counselor, with you kept in the loop on the things that matter.
What to expect
A short screening form or phone call. A parent or guardian can start it.
A callback from a real person, usually within one business day.
A first appointment for getting to know your teen, not for handing out a label.
Sessions scheduled around school where we can manage it.
A clear conversation about what stays between your teen and their counselor, and what does not.
Your counselor will explain at the first appointment what is shared with you and what is kept private. Anything involving your teen’s safety is always shared.
