There are many reasons why a teenager might seek therapy. Common challenges include:

• Depression
• Low self-esteem
• Self-harm or suicidal thoughts
• Social issues
• Gender identity
• Family relationships
• Academic struggles
• Grief and loss
• Trauma
• Anxiety

Kids and teens often experience a range of conflicting emotions, and these challenges should not be viewed as weaknesses. It can be beneficial for them to talk about their feelings with someone who is not a parent or an authority figure in their daily life.

Seeking therapy can be a transformative step for any teen, whether it’s a personal choice or a suggestion from loved ones. At Giesken Counseling Services, we’re committed to guiding you through your unique journey with empathy and expertise.

Understanding Your Needs: Personalized Teen Therapy

Our therapists are dedicated to understanding the challenges you face. Whether you’re grappling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or anger, or navigating conflicts with friends and family, we’re here to listen and support you. Together, we’ll explore your experiences and set meaningful goals for therapy.

Family Involvement: Strengthening Your Support System

We recognize the significant impact of family dynamics on your well-being. If you choose, we can involve your family in the therapeutic process, helping you communicate your feelings effectively and fostering a nurturing home environment.

For Parents and Guardians: Partnering in Your Teen’s Therapy

We encourage parents to actively participate in their teen’s therapeutic journey. By exploring our therapists’ profiles together, you can ensure your teen feels involved and respected. While we prioritize client confidentiality, we also keep you informed about your teen’s progress and provide guidance when necessary.

Online Counseling (Option) for Teens: Connecting in Comfort

We understand the apprehension that comes with starting online therapy. However, online counseling can be just as effective as in-person therapy.  That’s why we’ve created a secure and user-friendly video platform that replicates the in-office experience from the comfort of your home. All you need is a private space and a device to connect with us.
