Youth Therapy
Teens who participate in counseling can improve their self-confidence, general disposition, and self-esteem. Through therapy, teenagers acquire and improve vital skills such as emotion regulation, effective communication, empathy, assertiveness, and self-awareness.
According to experts, mental health issues are prevalent during these years. One in three high school students, for instance, report feeling sad and hopeless, which are symptoms of depression.
There are a variety of therapeutic approaches that may be useful for treating adolescents. Please contact Love Thyself Social Services if you need assistance determining the best fit for your child.
- PLAY THERAPY: The psychotherapist observes how the child utilizes play materials and identifies themes or patterns in order to comprehend the child’s issues. The child has the opportunity to better understand and manage their conflicts, feelings, and behaviors through a combination of conversation and play.
- PSYCHODYNAMIC: Understanding the issues that motivate and influence a child’s behavior, thoughts, and emotions is central to psychotherapy. It can assist in the identification of a child’s typical behavior patterns, defenses, and responses to inner conflicts and struggles. Psychoanalysis is a specialized, intensive form of psychodynamic psychotherapy that typically entails multiple weekly sessions. Psychodynamic psychotherapies assume that a child’s behavior and emotions will improve once his or her inner conflicts are revealed.
- SUPPORTIVE THERAPY:This form of therapy assists children and teenagers in coping with stress, identifying helpful and harmful behaviors, and enhancing self-esteem.
