Something hasn’t been feeling right for a while. Maybe you know how it started, maybe that’s a mystery. Either way, your stress and frustration have been building. Things at work are slipping, holding it together at home is a challenge, and life seems to find a way to throw you a new challenge every day. You’ve managed on your own for a while, but that’s getting harder and harder. You just want to feel right, healthy, inside and out. You might be wondering if getting better is even possible. It is.

Do you feel like words may not fully address your experiences? Are you looking for strengths-based support to discover and embody a way of behaving, or relating that feels better to you? Art therapy can allow you to explore your feelings and work through your experiences on a somatic (bodily) level. It can help integrate trauma and promote resilience.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent 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.
