What Happens In Teen Therapy

When your child starts teen therapy they have the opportunity to work on building healthy coping skills, learning to create social relationships, and addressing challenges in their life.

One of the key benefits of group counseling for your teen is the feeling that they are not alone. Your child is able to feel connected and supported by others. This is essential to growth and healing.

In teen therapy, your child works closely with the teen therapy group counselor and the other participants in the group. What takes place is that your child has the opportunity to listen, receive feedback, practice hands-on activities, and more.

While all the teens are together, the group counselor provides psycho-education and practical exercises that can be implemented. This gives your child knowledge on how to navigate the thoughts and feelings they are experiencing as well as tools.
