The Benefits of Teen Counseling & Telehealth

Many teens can benefit from therapy and telehealth therapy is a wonderful option available to support them.  The teen years are a time of growth and navigating identity. They tend to be years of lots of emotions and many ups and downs. In addition, more than before teens are struggling with their mental health including anxiety and depression, so both teens and their parents need more support than ever!

Understanding Teen Counseling

Teen counseling has always been a great option for additional support. It gives teens to space to work through academic stress, social pressures, family conflicts, or mental health disorders like anxiety and depression.  It also gives them access to a trained professional who can support them with invaluable tools to cope, grow, and thrive. Therapy for teens is often a combination of talk therapy, coping strategies, and psychoeducation. The ideal teen therapists empower teens to develop resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping strategies.  

Embracing Telehealth For Teen Counseling

Although teen counseling is so helpful, with a busy family life it can be challenging to add one more thing (therapy) to the schedule. For families that find it difficult to manage getting out of the house for one more appointment, telehealth can be a great option for teen counseling. As another perk, many of the hours teens need to attend therapy are after school hours (AKA rush hour time).

If you are anything like me, this is a time of day I avoid being out on the roads!  It is wonderful to have an option other than driving to a therapist’s office when your teen needs therapy. Many teens also appreciate being able to access therapy from the comfort of their room. They no longer have to walk into a therapist’s office, which can feel intimidating for some. They have privacy, feel safe, and also can get the support they need to live their best life!  

Overcoming Barriers to Access Mental Health Care

In addition to the convenience those in the city experience with telehealth teen counseling, it also provides greater access to mental health care for those who are in more rural areas or live a distance from a therapist who may be the best fit. As a result of telehealth at Mountain Vista Psychology, people can have greater access to highly qualified teen therapists. The therapy modalities that we use in person are the same modalities we use via telehealth so the quality of care remains the same. Research to date shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy. We can still do EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, and many more forms of therapy so telehealth doesn’t limit options for healing!  A good teen therapist will be able to meet your teen where they are at with support that works.

In conclusion, teen counseling via telehealth is a great option for many families and one that has the potential to transform the lives of adolescents. If your teen is struggling right now, reach out! We are here to support you. You can call 720-583-9332 or email info@mountainvistapsychology.com. We would love to hear from you and answer any questions about how we can best support you!
