Sojourner Counseling provides professional counseling for teens in Raleigh, NC. We understand that it can be difficult for teens to navigate emotional, relational, and spiritual concerns that often arise during adolescence. If you are a parent or caretaker of a teenager that is struggling in any of these areas, then we are here to provide support and guidance that’s tailored to the unique needs of your teenage child.

Why Teen Therapy?

The teenage years can be a time of significant change and growth. While this time comes with a lot of positive change, it’s normal for teenagers to face a variety of challenges and stressors. Adolescents often face academic pressures, difficult social dynamics, family conflicts, identity exploration, and emotional difficulties. Thankfully, neither you nor your teen have to go through this alone. 
Teen therapy offers a safe and confidential space for your teen to express him or herself, explore their thoughts and feelings, and develop the necessary skills to navigate life’s challenges in a place of compassionate support.

How Can Counseling for Teens Help?

Professional teen therapy in Raleigh, NC can provide numerous benefits and support. Here are some ways that we can help:

1. Emotional Well-Being: Adolescence is a time of emotional development, and it’s common to experience a wide range of emotions. Therapy can help your teen understand and manage these emotions, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.
2. Relationship Issues: Teenagers often struggle with friendships, romantic relationships, or conflicts with family members. Therapy can help improve communication skills, navigate relationship challenges, and develop healthy boundaries.
3. Academic Stress: The pressure to succeed academically can be overwhelming. Therapy can provide your teen with tools to manage stress, improve time management skills, and enhance study habits to achieve a healthy balance between school life and their personal life.
4. Self-esteem and Identity: Teenagers may struggle with self-esteem issues and questions about their identity. Therapy can help your teen explore their interests, values, and strengths while promoting self-acceptance and a positive sense of self.
5. Anxiety and Depression: Many teenagers experience symptoms of anxiety or depression. Therapy can help identify and address these challenges, providing your teen with coping strategies and support to improve their mental well-being.
   

Our Approach to Teen Counseling

At Sojourner Counseling, we take a compassionate and client-centered approach to teen therapy in Raleigh, NC. We understand that each teenager is unique, and we tailor our therapeutic techniques to meet your specific needs. We offer a Christian lens to therapy if your teen is open to this approach. Our therapists are experienced in working with teenagers and utilize evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy to help your teen feel understood and heard. We can also help them achieve their goals.

What if My Teen Doesn’t Want to Go to Therapy?

It’s completely normal for your teen to feel resistant or unsure about therapy. Many times, any concern that your teen has can be alleviated by meeting with the counselor. During their first sessions with us, your teen can get to know their counselor and freely express any questions or concerns that they have about therapy.  It’s also important to know that therapy is just as needful as other things you make your teen do, like going to the doctor and completing their schoolwork. It might mean encouraging your teen to give it several sessions until he or she settles in and becomes comfortable with therapy.

Our Commitment to Client Confidentiality

We understand the importance of confidentiality in teen therapy. Your privacy is our priority, and we provide a safe and non-judgmental space for teenagers to express themselves openly and honestly. If anything arises that warrants a safety concern, we’ll notify you ASAP, but otherwise, we want to allow teens the space to share without fear of “getting in trouble”.
