Why Starting Teen Therapy Early Makes a Difference
Often, by the time families call us, symptoms have been present for months or even years. That’s understandable. Teens are good at hiding what they feel, and many parents hope it’s “just a phase.” Still, timing matters.
As a general guideline, we encourage families to schedule teen therapy if negative emotions or behaviors have lasted a month or longer. After a major loss, or after losing a support system, starting right away is often best. The longer symptoms go on, the longer it takes to help your teen stabilize before they can build healthier coping skills. Simply put, the sooner your teen gets support, the sooner they can start feeling like themselves again.

Our Approach to Teen Therapy at reTHINK
Trust Comes First
Building trust with your teen is always the first step. Initially, sessions may focus mostly on your teen. Then, as the relationship with their therapist grows stronger, parent involvement gradually increases.
Parents Are Part of the Plan
Why involve parents? You spend far more time with your teen than we ever will. For that reason, parent and guardian involvement is often one of the strongest signs that change will last. We also know that parents and teens may walk in with different goals. Our therapists work to align those goals so everyone moves in the same direction.
Your Well-Being Matters Too
Raising a teen who is struggling is stressful. Naturally, your own emotions and reactions come up along the way. Families often see the best outcomes when both the teen and the parent have support, so we may encourage you to consider individual therapy for yourself as well.
