If you&#8217;re concerned about your teenager&#8217;s well-being, it&#8217;s best to consult with a professional who can provide a thorough assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><strong>How long does adolescent psychotherapy typically last<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">The duration of adolescent psychotherapy can vary depending on several factors, including the nature of the concerns, the progress made, and the individual needs of the teenager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><strong>Will my teenager&#8217;s sessions be confidential?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">Confidentiality is a crucial aspect of adolescent psychotherapy. Psychologists prioritize creating a safe space where teenagers can freely express themselves. Generally, what is discussed in therapy remains confidential unless there are concerns about safety (learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/leonpsychology.ca\/en\/faq\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">limits of confidentiality<\/a>) or if your teenager provides explicit permission to involve others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><strong>Can I be involved in my teenager&#8217;s therapy sessions<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">While parents can play a crucial role in their teenager&#8217;s well-being, adolescent psychotherapy often involves sessions with the teenager alone. This allows the psychologist to build trust and encourage open communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong><strong>What if my teenager is resistant to therapy<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">It&#8217;s not uncommon for teenagers to be initially resistant to the idea of therapy. Openly communicate with your 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 teenager remains hesitant, involving them in the therapist selection process or allowing them to ask questions can help alleviate their concerns. Skilled psychologists experienced in working with adolescents can often establish rapport and build trust, even with initially reluctant teenagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Have more questions?
