Common Questions from Teens with Depression

How is personal growth counseling different from other types of therapy?

Personal growth counseling focuses on developing your potential and building life skills, rather than addressing specific problems. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself.

Not at all! Personal growth counseling is for anyone who wants to develop themselves and their abilities. It’s about enhancement, not fixing.

While I maintain your privacy, we can include your parents in ways that support your growth goals. We’ll discuss what level of involvement feels right for you.

Personal growth is an ongoing journey, but we’ll set specific goals and milestones together. Many teens start seeing positive changes within a few sessions.

That’s completely normal! Part of our work together will be exploring different areas of potential growth and identifying what matters most to you.
