What to Expect from Teen Therapy

As a parent, it breaks your heart to see your teen struggling. And despite all your best efforts, nothing has seemed to provide lasting relief for them or you. Maybe your teen has just entered high school and they are having a hard time adjusting to the new pace of their coursework, as well as having a difficult time keeping up with the expectations and demands of their ever changing social circles. Maybe your teen is on the other end of the spectrum, being in their final year of high school, real-world pressures and decisions concerning their next steps have sparked crippling anxiety and fears towards their future. Or maybe your teen is neither starting nor ending their time as a high school student but finds them self stuck somewhere in between. Perhaps, literally feeling stuck. Stuck in painful emotions, consuming thoughts, unhealthy habits, and so on.

You feel as though you have tried everything to help but no matter what you do or how hard you try, your teen is still struggling.

You want to find someone you and your teen can trust. Someone that will not only help your teen out of their stuckness, but also help them develop the necessary skills to practice and maintain mental, emotional, and relational health both now and in the future. 

If any of these thoughts or feelings resonate with you or your teen, I am so happy you are here. I help individuals and families attain healing and maintain health through therapeutic interventions and personalized treatment plans according to their current needs and future goals. But how? As a parent or teen, what can your family expect from teen therapy?

Expect to be welcomed and met with the appropriate tools.

Sparrow Counseling is a safe place, free of judgment and shame, for teens to seek support and counsel regarding a variety of presenting issues. Our team has effectively served families and teens presenting with a variety of needs and we are confident in our abilities and resources to be able to provide the same effective treatment for your teen. 

Expect to be heard and valued.

Our clinicians actively seek and highly value client feedback. Know that as a client, or as a parent of a teen client, we value your thoughts and feelings regarding therapy. Our clinicians are flexible and highly trained to meet teens where they are, create effective treatment plans, implement appropriate interventions, incorporate client feedback, and adjust therapy accordingly to elicit change and provide relief for your teen. 

Expect change.

At Sparrow Counseling, we walk alongside teens and their families throughout the therapeutic process as they strengthen self-awareness, gain vital skills, increase emotional intelligence, establish new patterns, and maintain lasting change. We encourage our clients to expect results from themselves, believe that change is possible, and allow for us to come alongside you in your pursuit of it. 

 Being welcomed, heard, and valued are just some of the many things you and your teen can expect when working with our clinicians at Sparrow Counseling, but this is where we start. So, are you ready to start? Teen, are you tired of feeling stuck? Are you ready to start pursuing the change that you have been longing for but not yet attained? Are you willing to invest in yourself through this journey? Parents, are you willing to invest in this journey with your teen? Investing your time, energy, resources, and support to their health and attainment of their goals?
