Virtual Teen Psychology Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child or teenager needs therapy?
It can be challenging to determine if your child or teenager needs psychotherapy, but some signs to watch for include persistent changes in mood, withdrawal from friends and activities, academic decline, or sudden behavioral changes. If you’re concerned about your child or teenager’s well-being, it’s best to consult with a professional who can provide a thorough assessment.
How long does child or teen psychotherapy typically last?
The duration of child/adolescent psychotherapy can vary depending on several factors, including the nature of the concerns, the progress made, and the individual needs of the teenager.
Will my teenager’s (age 13-17) sessions be confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial aspect of adolescent psychotherapy. Psychologists prioritize creating a safe space where children and teenagers can freely express themselves. Generally, what is discussed in therapy remains confidential unless there are concerns about safety (learn more about limits of confidentiality) or if your teenager provides explicit permission to involve others.
Can I be involved in my teenager’s (age 13-17) therapy sessions?
While parents can play a crucial role in their teenager’s well-being, adolescent psychotherapy often involves sessions with the teenager alone. This allows the psychologist to build trust and encourage open communication.
What if my child or teenager is resistant to therapy?
It’s not uncommon for children or teenagers to be initially resistant to the idea of therapy. Openly communicate with your child/teenager about your concerns and the potential benefits of therapy. Assure them that therapy is a safe space for self-expression and personal growth. If your child/teenager remains hesitant, involving them in the therapist selection process or allowing them to ask questions can help alleviate their concerns. Skilled psychotherapists experienced in working with childre and adolescents can often establish rapport and build trust, even with initially reluctant youth.
