Does My Teen Need Mental Health Therapy?
When it comes to prioritizing your teen’s mental health, most parents will stop at nothing to ensure that their child is taken care of emotionally and mentally. But, how do you know when your teenager needs therapy? For many parents, the idea of their teen needing counseling may seem foreign, but if your teen is shutting you out and distancing themselves, therapy can be a great solution for providing your young adult a space to explore what may be bothering them without the fear of judgment or criticism.
At Willamette Wellness Center, we recognize the unique troubles that teens and adolescents face in today’s world. With the constant pressure of academics, family, peer groups, and social media, your young adult may feel overwhelmed by the demands and responsibilities being thrown at them. This is where we can step in to help.
Young adult counseling isn't just for "problems." It's a space for your teenager to:
- Develop healthy coping strategies
- Get help with teenage depression
- Improve relationships
- Build resilience for life’s challenges
- Set and achieve personal goals
Our specialist adolescent therapists create a safe space for your child
No matter where your child comes from, or how they identify, all are welcome here. We’re proud to be a safe space for LGBTQ+ teens, BIPOC youth, and anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t quite fit in. Our diverse team of therapists for teenagers reflects the community we serve, and we’re committed to understanding and celebrating your unique experiences. Currently WWC has therapists on staff who have advanced training in adolescent and teen counseling and are able to provide online sessions for teens aged 14 years and older.
How Can Therapy Help Your Young Adult?
Teenagers are often asked to grow up faster than they may feel ready for. They are faced with life changes that may involve confronting big transitions like middle and high school, going through emotional, mental, and physical transformations that feel unexpected, or simply walking through life with a bigger and brighter perspective that seems entirely new to them. We’re here to help your teen find their path in life by meeting them where they are so that they can continue to grow into the person they want to be, one step at a time.
At WWC, we have therapists who are specifically trained in treating teens and adolescents to better understand the anxiety, depression, or stress they may be feeling. This way, they can learn how to overcome the things that cause them worry or pain and move forward with the confidence to believe in themselves and their actions.
Our mental health clinic serves Oregon and Washington using HIPAA-compliant online tele-health platforms. We take most insurance plans, including BCBS Regence, Kaiser of Oregon, Oregon Health Plan, Pacific Source Commercial, and Providence.
