Therapy for Teens

Schedule an Appointment

Today’s world is a place of rapid change for teens, and counseling for teens can be the answer.

Their most formative years are fraught with often growing technology.

This often includes access to all types of info, opinions, and unrealistic standards of beauty and performance. These changes and unlimited access to vast amounts of info are challenges not faced by previous generations of teenagers. As a parent, you watch your teen navigate new and sometimes treacherous waters.

All you want is to help them find their path desperately.

There may be moments when you are trying your best to keep your teen’s head above water. You may also feel that you are drowning in your fears and insecurities about the teenage years.

Your teenager may not tell you anything or has seemingly cut the family out of his or her life. You may feel discouraged and at a loss for how to help them and keep your family strong and together.

This is where we can step in.

Counseling for Teens in Gallatin, TN Can Offer The Support You Deserve

Our experienced and skilled therapists will meet with your teen in an accepting environment. This will allow them to discuss the obstacles they are facing in the world around them in a safe space. Emotions in adolescence can be very overwhelming for teens and parents both. With guidance and support from the therapists at Tennessee Mental Wellness, we can help your teen move through this phase in life with grace. Counseling for teens can be an important form of support for your entire family. Especially during this time of transition. 

A teenage therapist from our team can help teens understand their role in their family, peer group, and school. Counseling for teens allows them to discover their own understandings and beliefs. In this unbiased environment, we work to empower teenagers. By doing so, they can make the changes they want in their life.

Counseling is a great way for teens to start to learn more about themselves, their choices, and their emotions. As parents of teens, you are not alone in helping your teen through this journey to adulthood. Our therapists will build a trusting relationship with your teen. By doing so, you can rest assured someone outside of your teen’s close circle will help them navigate this part of life.

What do Expect During Counseling for Teens 

Counseling for teens will be a process. It may take time for your teenager to feel comfortable with their counselor. They may not want to tell you about the details of their life at first. Your teen may not even know exactly what it is they’re struggling with, and that’s okay. We are here to help them navigate those confusing feelings, thoughts, and moments of uncertainty. We will help them make concrete goals and figure out the steps to achieve those goals. It may involve:

  • Managing anxiety or depression
  • Handling stress from school or peer relationships
  • Or repairing relationships with family and friends
Regardless of your case, we are ready to help your child.
 

We encourage the involvement of your family as your teen attends counseling.

When they receive support both in session from their therapist and you at home, what they are learning in therapy and working on will be reinforced. We can also work to help repair communication and the relationship between you and your teen. This may happen in a variety of ways. First, we’ll develop a strong relationship with your teen. Then, they may be willing to have you join them in session. Or even have us share more details about their progress with you.

We can also offer your entire family communication tips. These can keep everyone on the same page and improve your family relationships. As your teenager starts to feel more in control of their emotions and the stress that daily teen life brings your entire family will benefit as your teen becomes healthy and happy again.
