It can be very difficult to watch the teens we love so much go through the unique challenges and pressures that they face today. Studies consistently show that teen stress, anxiety, depression, substance use and addiction, relationship challenges, LGBTQ+-related needs, and school-related struggles are on the rise. One of Quantum’s specialties is working with teens and their families during these exciting yet challenging teenage years.
At Quantum, our highly trained team specializes in offering individual therapy for teens and their families, as well as separate parent coaching when desired. Our holistic therapists use a wide range of scientifically-backed, integrative modalities that are specifically tailored to your teen’s unique strengths, needs, and culture. We find that by offering a wider range of holistic strategies and tools than more traditional talk therapists, we are able to support your teen in achieving results where prior attempts at therapy may have fallen short. In fact, approximately 75% of Quantum clients report attempting therapy elsewhere previously without seeing the results that they were hoping for.
The Quantum team is highly experienced in cultivating a safe and supportive environment from the very first session where teens can begin to open up and explore their current challenges. Many of our teen counseling clients report everything from academic pressures to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance use, and even school refusal. Our goal is not to “fix” your teen, as we do not believe that they are fundamentally broken. Our holistic approach to teen therapy aims to expand your teen’s conscious awareness in order to better understand themselves past and present, and increase their confidence in looking toward the future.
Is Teen Therapy Right For My Child?
Counseling for teens can make a monumental difference as they grow and evolve from adolescence into young adulthood. Having a trusted, unbiased professional as a support for your teen and family can be incredibly impactful. From our holistic perspective, it may be time to consider teen counseling if you notice that a concern is becoming a repeated pattern and impacting at least one major area of your teen’s life.
Sometimes it can be difficult to discern the fine line between typical teenage behavior and potential red flags. It can feel confronting as a parent or guardian to recognize that your teenager might need professional support; and this certainly doesn’t mean you are to blame for their current challenges. Some specific signs your teen may benefit from our holistic approach to therapy include persistent feelings of sadness, isolation, stress, anxiety, panic attacks, social issues, family relationship difficulties, and romantic relationship challenges. Additional indications that teen counseling may be right for your family include academic and college-related stress, athletic performance pressure, sudden changes in mood or sleep patterns, withdrawing from family or friends, emotional outbursts, and low self-esteem.
If your teen is experiencing any of these challenges, seeking counseling is paramount before problems become worse as they grow into young adulthood. Quantum’s style of teen therapy can be a crucial step in providing your child with the tools they need to learn more about themselves, build resilience, and enjoy the self-confidence that comes with facing issues head on and overcoming them once and for all.
What Sets Quantum’s Teen Therapy Apart?
The teen therapists at Quantum combine cutting-edge scientific research about the body and mind with the most exciting and evidence-based therapeutic modalities that exist today. Quantum’s holistic approach is individually tailored to your teen and family’s unique strengths, needs, and culture and offers many more options than most other more traditional talk therapists that you will find in our area. If you and your teen resonate with some degree of spiritual beliefs, our team is also well-versed in using those beliefs to our advantage as part of the therapeutic journey. For Quantum, part of being holistic means working with the mind, body and spirit to whatever degree that feels helpful for the client and their family.
In addition to more traditional Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), the teen counselors at Quantum also offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic therapy and somatic experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and autonomic nervous system regulation tools. Quantum’s teen therapists find that educating your teen on the science behind why they are feeling the stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, or anger that they have been experiencing is a great way to empower them with knowledge that they can draw from for many years to come, long after their teen therapy is concluded with us. For those teens who resonate, meditation, breathwork, yoga, sound healing, and reiki energy work are also offered as additional coping strategies for teen stress and anxiety.
