Teen Therapy in Marietta, GA

Therapy for teens focuses on building a safe, calm place for a teen to unload. Often faced with the pressures of school and finding their identity, they often can feel alone. 

It is the goal of every therapist to align with their teen so they can find that space they have been wanting. A place to process school, relationship issues, hurt, trauma and the scary thoughts they have. 

The hope is that they can start to find relief in the pain they are experiencing. And begin to find a healthier place to thrive once again. 

Give us a call today to get matched with a therapist!

While you may connect with one of our therapists, we want to make sure your teen does as well. We recommend sending your teen our page of therapists to see who they might want to work with.

You are welcome to call and make an appointment and ask all the questions. You teen is also welcome to talk to the therapists first as well. 

When you talk to us, make sure you have an idea about when they are available. I know teens schedules can be complicated. Coming regularly is the only way to gain progress in therapy. Coming every week to every other week is recommended. You can assist in this process of helping them come by encouraging scheduling or even driving them if needed.

You can give us a call at (770) 688-5164, email us at theattachedcounseling@gmail.com, or simply fill out the interest form. We are happy to answer any questions about the process!

In order for a teen to feel like there is a safe space in therapy, the therapist will not tell you every detail that goes on in therapy. There has to be space for privacy so the teen can share anything deep that is needed. However, the therapist may share with you any safety concerns. Examples of these include unsafe or dangerous activities, suicidal thoughts, self harm, etc. Other than that, they may give you small updates on progress with the teen aware of what is being shared. Please note, parents are legally entitled to some information about therapy with minors.

Since they are a minor, the parent or guardian must attend the first session to go over details. Typically that happens the first 20 minutes or so. The rest of the time will be with the teen and their therapist. From there it may mostly be the teen and their therapist. Sometimes you may be asked to attend therapy to help with communication with your child. Other times you may be given small updates. Your therapist will share with you their process and communicate as needed.
