Many Teens Struggle With Mental Health

Irritability, sleepiness, and sadness can be a normal part of being a teenager but some teens also have an underlying mental illness. One out of every five teens—20% of the population—has an underlying mental disorder and could benefit from early intervention. In therapy, we will help to isolate your teen’s current situational problems from deeper ones so they can get the help they need.

At Caring Therapists, we work with your teen to resolve behavior problems and teach them healthy coping skills they can use for the rest of their lives. Our goal is to help your teen to recognize problems on their own and have the tools needed to fix them. We also work to repair communication skills and help families resolve any internal conflict.

Teen Counseling Gives Your Child Coping Tools

We use talk therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help your teen work through situational problems and manage their emotions. CBT is one of the most proven, effective treatments for anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. CBT helps your teen to connect their thoughts and feelings with their behaviors, building awareness of unhealthy thought patterns, and how they influence actions. 

Once they are able to recognize patterns, we teach them how to make healthy changes. For example, if your teen struggles with their self-worth we will help them to pick out negative, unproductive thoughts and prove them untrue, so they can, in turn, feel better about who they are. If your teen is overly stressed we can help them to practice self-care. If your teen struggles with managing anger, we collaborate with them on healthy solutions.

Our goal is to help your teen be happier and more confident. We will help them to eliminate unhealthy behaviors like drugs or alcohol, better their relationships with food, excel in school, improve relationships, have an open and calm dialogue within the home, and improve overall mental health. Your teen can feel better.

We understand you might have some questions and here are a few common ones and there answers:

Will I be involved in my teen’s therapy?

We do often recommend family therapy in conjunction with teen therapy. This helps to smooth over things that are happening in the home and improve communication skills. The goal is to maximize the benefit for your teen and the family as a whole.

How much does treatment cost?

We offer a competitive private-pay rate and accept most major insurances, both in and out-of-network. We can provide you with a superbill to help get your services full or partially covered. Our office managers are dedicated to helping your teen get the treatment they need. They are happy to check your insurance benefits prior to your first visit. 

How long until my teen starts to feel better?

We understand that everyone has different needs. That’s why we work with your teen to develop a personalized plan that works with their life. It can take an average of 8 sessions to resolve problems and teach them the tools they need to manage their emotions moving forward. We do recommend that teens continue therapy for as long as they are able so that we can help them address challenges as they pop up.
