What is your go-to approach for teen counseling?

My go-to approach for helping a teen in therapy is finding the child's interest. I find the benefit to be twofold: It addresses the child's needs at their developmental and interest levels while also making therapy enjoyable and fun.

What tools do you teach in teen counseling?

In therapy, I assist the teenager by:

  • Helping them recognize and identify their feelings.
  • Helping them verbalize their needs in an assertive and non-aggressive manner.
  • Helping them identify their thought processes.
  • Helping them identify healthy ways to get their needs met.
  • Increasing their feelings of self-esteem and self-worth by identifying their strengths.
  • Building their confidence and allowing them to increase their capacity to learn and grow.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling?

Therapy is a team effort. Together, we will address the prior issues of concern to monitor and review the progress made over the past few weeks. We will decide if the goals were sufficiently met to terminate therapy. I know a teen has made meaningful progress when there is growth in their self-esteem and they are better able to get their needs met in an assertive and non-aggressive manner. I know a teen has made meaningful progress when they are better able to function at home and at school.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement teen counseling?

Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling by recognizing the validity of their feelings. Teenagers sometimes enjoy journaling or reading books that encourage their growth.

What should someone do to prepare for starting teen counseling?

To prepare for their first teen counseling session, sometimes a teen finds it helpful to write down their thoughts and feelings beforehand.

Starting Child/teen therapy

Need more help deciding?

Children and adolescents have life-changing experiences at this crucial stage of development: from moving to a new town and having to make new friends to being told that their parents are divorcing and adjusting to their time being split between Mom and Dad. Processing the many emotions that come with such changes is often difficult for anybody—but doing so is especially difficult for these young individuals who are still growing mentally and physically. The bottom line is that children and adolescents can benefit from working with a professional, such as when they endure big life changes.

The child therapists and psychologists at Thriveworks Boca Raton in Palm Beach, FL know just how hard this stage of life can be, and they want to do their part to help these young individuals.

Their billing is horrible. I signed a payment agreement and they did not honour it. They charged my card for way more than the agreed amount making my account go negative. Cancelled all my appointment and wont be using this service again.

I’m 3 times better, because of the instructions and medication. I never was a medicine, trusting person. But after seeing my Psychiatrist, and him explaining the benefits, I trusted the process. And thank God I did.!

I’ve been dealing with a few stressers before reaching out for help in the psychology space. I reached out mainly because the pain being caused in my relationship. Sarah welcomed me into her network here with such professionalism I felt instantly comfortable with having open and candid conversation. Since then my life has gone through and still going through major changes some good and some bad. I would like Thriveworks and Sarah know that this couldn’t have been a better time for someone like Sarah to open her door for me and coach me through some of things I’ve been going thru and point me in the right direction of how to be the best version of a person I can be. You can tell she is passionate about her work and cares deeply for clients like myself. If there’s ever a time where someone I know needs to talk to someone I will recommend Thriveworks and specifically Sarah if it’s possible. Sarah, keep up the good work. You’re making a positive difference in my life.
