우리는 모두 행복해질 권리가 있습니다! 그런데 그러기 위해서는 우리 자신에 대하여 조금 배울 필요가 있습니다. 우리는 이성적 존재라기보단 감정적이고 관계적 존재입니다. 그래서 우리가 감정적/관계적으로 상처를 입었을 때 정상적 삶이 힘들어지고 행복감을 상실합니다. 영, 혼, 육을 가진 전인적 존재로서 우리는 육체의 병만 챙길 것이 아니라 마음의 병도 잘 치유해서 전인적 행복을 누려야 합니다. 저는 개인 혹은 커플들의 다음과 같은 마음의 병들을 함께 치유하기 원합니다: 스트레스, 불안증, 우울증, 트라우마, 자신 및 남들과의 단절, 절망감, 버림받음, 거절, 배반, 상실, 자신의 가치 문제, 결혼(전) 생활 이슈 등.

상담실의 문을 노크하기까지 오래 망설이셨을지 모릅니다. 내 이야기를 다른 사람에게 털어놓기가 쉽지 않습니다. 그러나 생각/감정/행동의 연결고리를 이해하면 ‘마음의 평화’에 다가갑니다. 저는 주로 ‘수용전념치료’ 와 ‘인지행동치료’ 과정을 통해 내담자의 여정에 함께 합니다. 그 여정은 짧게는 2-4회, 대부분 8-10회를 기본으로 하며, 경우에 따라 1-2년 이상이 걸릴 수도 있습니다. 그 길이 낯설지 않도록, 이미 내담자 안에 들어있으나 잠자고 있던 내적 파워를 깨웁니다. 생각과 감정과 행동이 성숙한 조화를 이룰 때까지 함께 가겠습니다.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
