Common Questions from Teens with Depression

Will my parents have to know everything I say in therapy?

While I maintain your privacy, I also ensure your safety. We’ll discuss exactly what stays between us and what needs to be shared with parents.

Depression can look different for everyone, especially teenagers. We’ll explore your specific experiences together and determine the best path forward.

As a counselor, I don’t prescribe medication. We’ll focus on therapeutic techniques to manage anxiety, and if medication might be helpful, we can discuss this with your parents and doctor.

Your privacy is my top priority. Sessions are completely confidential, and teletherapy means no one needs to know unless you choose to tell them.

Every teenager’s journey is different. We’ll work at your pace and regularly check in on your progress to ensure you’re getting what you need from our sessions.
