Is your teen struggling socially or emotionally?

Our primary focus at Full Circle Therapy is to teach your teen the skills they need to thrive.

What will therapy look like for my teen?

At first, your therapist will talk with you, ask questions, and listen to learn more about you. This helps your therapist understand the problem. Together you will make goals for what you want help with.

In therapy sessions, you might:

• Talk. Therapists have people talk about their feelings. Talking is a healthy way to express feelings. It helps people feel accepted, understood, and ready to learn.
• Do activities. Therapists might teach lessons about emotions, coping skills, or facing fears. Activities and worksheets help make these lessons interesting.
• Practice new skills. A therapist might teach skills like mindfulness and calm breathing. You might learn ways to face fears or lower stress. Or how to speak up for yourself. In your therapy meetings, you might practice the skills you learn.
• Solve problems. Your therapist will ask how problems affect you at home and at school. You will talk together about how to solve these problems.

Treatment depends on the individuals needs. Most parents see a significant difference with their child anywhere from  8-10 sessions.
