Youth Therapists Give Counseling for Teenagers' Mental Health in Pleasant Grove, UT

Mt Grove Counseling in Pleasant Grove, Utah understands that adults are not the only ones who need emotional resources and support. Children and teenagers are just as full of emotions, and often have fewer communication and coping skills to handle those emotions. And if trauma is introduced at this point, having a therapist specializing in childhood trauma can give someone a necessary lifeline.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) for Teenage Depression and More

As discussed on our Services Page, Mt Grove Counseling uses a number of different types of counseling (therapy modalities). One of the methods we find helpful with our younger clients is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
We hope that younger clients haven't had the years or the circumstances to go through the kinds of trauma and develop the unhealthy emotional habits that our older clients do. However, when they do need help, maturing brains don't do as well with long-term consequences, so the emotional equation becomes more direct:
Specific Actions + Smaller Pieces/Less Time = Successful Coping Mechanism
Solution-Focused + Brief Time Period = Successful Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
This is what solutions-focused therapy intervention can help clients--young and old--to do more effectively.

Sometimes the best demonstration of solution-focused behavioral therapy can be to show a teen how to find a therapist that meets his or her needs, and discuss openly how different types of therapy might help.
