Although teens and children seem to be miniature adults, they are not. Most teens and children do not respond well to traditional talk therapy. All behaviors exhibited by teens and children are simply their way of demonstrating their needs. Our job is to figure out what they’re trying to tell us. They must be engaged, feel empowered and heard, but not through traditional counseling methods.
