Teen and Adolescent Counseling in the Dallas, TX Area

The decision to seek therapy for your teenager can be complex. If they express a desire or interest in therapy, we highly recommend allowing them to explore this avenue. Therapy is a great way for them to build confidence and learn to cope with life’s new challenges without feeling like they have to limit themselves to please their teachers, friends, or guardians.

However, your teen may not actively seek help—it’s hard to do, even for adults! But if you notice sudden, dramatic withdrawal from you or the things they used to love, signs of issues with anger or depression, or if your family has recently gone through a major change (death, divorce, etc.) it may be the right time to consider counseling. 

Please feel free to contact us if you have questions about our teen therapy services and whether they might be a good fit for your child!

Adolescents, teens, and young adults still have the right to confidentiality in therapy. That means, if there’s something that a teen client doesn’t want their parents to know, our counselors will not divulge that information. We believe this approach gives young people a necessary safe space where they can express their emotions without fear of judgment or consequences.

We also recognize that secrets can contribute to feelings of anxiety or depression. Our therapists can help young adults navigate these fears, create plans to share important information with their parents, and even invite parents into sessions to provide support during the discussion. But ultimately, the decision about whether and how to express these feelings is up to them.

There are some exceptions to the right to confidentiality, which you can learn more about on our FAQs page.
