Does My Teen Need Therapy?
Things to Consider in Adolescent Therapy
- Are there stressors present? (divorce, separation, move, loss)
- Has there been a significant mood change or increase in severity?
- Is your teen self medicating? (drugs, alcohol, etc)
- Degree of dysfunction
- Degree of parental frustration
Please don’t feel like you have to make this decision alone. One of the most important things our teen therapists do is help parents make a step by step plan for the best plan of action moving forward. Our adolescent therapists are trained and eager to work with your family to help you decide whether or not your teen can benefit from therapy. Ready to start?

The Teenage Brain
Adolescence is a time of many changes. Biologically, this is the time of puberty and “raging hormones.” Psychologically, this is a time of tremendous intellectual and cognitive growth best exemplified by the “know-it-all” teenager. Socially, during this time teenagers are transitioning from operating predominately within the social structure of the family system to venturing out on their own to discover and develop their own social niche in the world.
