The therapeutic process provides the space to be angry, sad, indifferent or highly emotional without judgment, which is crucial during adolescence. Because teens tend to be open to new ideas and new ways of perceiving things, the right support has a profound effect on their well-being. With that being said, it's also a normal part of their developmental process to feel like they have all the answers. Therefore, teens can be resistant to both self-exploration and seeking psychological support from their parents. They often turn to external sources such as friends, Facebook, blogs, etc. Therapy, however, provides an opportunity for teens to turn to a trusted professional who can help enhance mood, improve decision making and strengthen relationship dynamics. The skills teens learn in therapy will be utilized continuously as they progress and thrive throughout adulthood. Things do get better!
