In therapy, adolescents learn how to cope with life’s challenges in healthy ways. They can be taught about boundaries and physical safety in relationships. Therapy is also a place for teens to talk about what they are thinking or feeling so that their concerns will not just build up inside them without anyone knowing. Often therapy can help them work through a problem BEFORE it becomes more severe. Just like with younger children, sessions may include art, games, and behavioral activities, and may also contain more relational activities such as role playing. Therapy is very important for kids who have experienced trauma in their lives and may be their only chance for healing.
