What to Expect
Getting Started
Let’s start with a conversation. During your free phone consultation, we’ll take the time to truly understand your perspective, concerns, and goals for your child or teen. This is where we collaborate on the best way to support your family. We’ll discuss your options, answer your questions, and help match you with the therapist on our Teen Therapy Center team who’s the best fit for your child’s needs. We hope that at the end of this conversation you’ll say “this place gets me.”
The First Session
Your first session at Teen Therapy Center begins with the whole family together. This is where everyone has a chance to share openly and to put their cards on the table in a safe, supportive space. We’ll talk about goals and outline how therapy works, including our commitment to your child’s privacy and confidentiality. Once everyone is on the same page, parents step out and we begin the most important part building trust with your teen.
About Therapy
In therapy, we create a safe and supportive space where your child or teen can be open, vulnerable, and understood. Our therapists gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping teens develop healthier ways to cope, communicate, and express what they’re feeling. We focus on giving language to emotions so your child can better understand themselves and so you can better understand them, too. To keep everyone connected, we schedule parent check-in calls every month or two. We also evaluate growth and goals every three months, ensuring therapy remains effective.
