- What to do with Teens in Therapy? Therapy with Teenagers. I share 3 things I always have on hand when counseling adolescents. When Counseling Teens, It's helpful to be prepared to be the most effective therapy with teenagers. I use art therapy techniques and activities with teens. I am not an art therapist but use some simple art therapy interventions in counseling.

I have been an LMFT (Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist) in the State of California for almost a decade.
This channel is about Mental Health Awareness and Personal Growth.
Should you be in Therapy counseling? I believe counseling is for everybody and most people can benefit from learning
more about themselves with the support of a Therapist. Therapy is an opportunity for growth, change and healing, whether
you are diagnosed with a clincial "disorder", or you simply want to expore ways to feel better and have healthier relationships.
NOTE: This channel is not a substitute for treatment. If you or someone you know needs counseling, please call your MD
and reach out for support, and call 911 if there is a psychiatric emergency. I cannot respond to a mental health crisis via youtube.
This channel is for education, not psychotherapy. I am a licensed therapist, but I am not YOUR therapist, please find a local professional for help in your area.

I'm a school counselor and Mental Health therapist and I really appreciate your platform. Thank you!
Help went me of angry and stressed and worried and get upsad all weeks 😢😂
As a psychology student about to have her first teen client, your videos are super helpful! :) It's great to get some good advice and to have some activites to do if talking fails.
Thank you so much for this comment Kristin. I am uploading a video for tomorrow on talking to teens about anxiety. Let me know what you think. xoxo Quenby
Same here! :)
I'm a therapist in supervision, I work primarily with teens! This was super helpful!
Hi Emma this make me SO HAPPY I really appreciate you leaving a comment to let me know. Let me know what other videos willhelp you. xo Quenby
I am a Social Work Intern right now and just had my first teen client. Your activities saved my life! The teen truly enjoy having different options to work on.
this makes me so HAPPY!!! Thank you for sharing this feedback with me. I am working on another teen video right now with activities. Quenby
I have a feeling I'm the only one here who isn't a therapist or anything like that but is just curious about this stuff, like it's so amazing how there are so many different ways to help someone out without too much stress but more relaxation.
I love that you are not a therapist but still like the videos. I have some general mental health videos that are not geared to therapists too. Thanks! Quenby
@@thegratefultherapist thanks! :)
wonderfully insightful. I have just started working with a teen in my counselling practice and the ideas here are so helpful. Thank You
I am so glad! The more of us willing to help teens the better. Thanks Quenby
Just came across your channel and am amazed by all the great content! Currently in my MSW program interning with elementary as School Social Worker, I’m forsure gonna use the question cards
I love your ideas for working with teens. Please continue to share more unique interventions....
Thank you Linda, I just put out a video today on "teen drama" Let me know what you think
Hi there! I am a psych major and studio art minor quickly approaching my senior year of undergrad! I'm actually considering to receive a certification in art therapy at some point, so this is a huge help to get some thoughts rolling. I am doing an internship this summer and am seeing adolescent clientele. Thanks for all of your suggestions!
You are so welcome. It has been so helpful to me to include art therapy in my practice.
Thank you this is so helpful. I am a social work intern working with teens. I will be watching more of your videos. Great ideas!
Thank you so much. I work as a Counsellor in the UK. I find cards very useful with teens and will look at yours. The tree thing is a great idea and the collage too. Thank you
Wonderful! Thank you I appreciate you watching-- Quenby Gallahan, LMFT
Thank you for the video! I love the card idea as an ice breaker. I have a similar game where I have a fancy chart with questions and the teen rolls dice to see which question they get. I work almost exclusively with teens in a high school and another tool I love is my portable white board with several colours of dry erase markers. It allows me to either do some quick art based interventions and psychological education with easy to grasp doodles. Keep making great content. I love it.
That's a great idea! Thanks for putting your techniques in the comments where others can learn from you.
@@thegratefultherapist you are welcome. Thanks for the encouragement!
Thanks so much for the video! We just put our son in therapy...between depression and coming out that he is Bi- sexual. No matter what we love him either way we just want him to be happy!
Thank you for sharing this! I hope he loves his new Therapist and if not fine another one! Did you see my video on helping teens like therapy? Keep me posted xo Quenby
@@thegratefultherapist I did and it really helped a lot

You are AMAZING too, what a great thing to say! Quenby
Hi! Great video! I'm a student therapist starting to work with teens and have noticed that building a relationship with teens is sometimes quite different than with adults. I love you idea about the questions cards. Would you be open to sharing the list with more of the questions you typically use?

Great fun activities to get students to open up, I love your creativity. I’m not a professional counselor but I volunteer with middle school students. It seems like there’s a rise in depression and anxiety. Part of me thinks it’s a trend (because of celebrities like Billie Ellish) and another part of me thinks it’s seasonal depression. How can I navigate them to understand or have a broader perspective on this being seasonal?
HI Rachel I LOVE this comment from you!! Thank you. YES i'm in CA and I see a rise in Anxiety and suicidal ideation in teens. Teens brains are still developing and they don't yet understand or have the perspective that things do change, do get better, long range thinking etc so they can think in black and white. I just talk to them "straight up" about everything. Just like you are talking to me. I ask "have you ever heard of seasonal depression"? xoxo Quenby
New subscriber ❤️😊love this
Thanks for subbing! I am so happy you are here! Thank you
This was soo helpful. Thanks for sharing. You’r a natrual
I am so glad to hear this video helped you. What other therapy videos would be helpful? I have one on how to help teens actually LIKE counseling. Thanks Quenby
Thank you!
I am still a novice in working with Adolescents struggling with mental health issues. I would like to know more on how to use art therapy (and other approaches) to help teens. Moreover, how can I not to advice giving and still help teens. Thanks!
Did you see my video on TIPS for helping teens like therapy?
Our job is NOT to give advice but to help teens figure out for themselves . Be GENUINELY Curious about their thoughts and feelings. Xo Quenby
Any advice on how to improve telehealth sessions with teens? It’s sometimes seems they are much more easily distracted by their cell phones from their bedrooms
I think you may have answered your own question here, Shari. I am very transparent and authentic with teens. I would simply say "oh, you seem distracted by your phone, how about putting it away until we are done" Keep it light, not punishing, but just real. xo Quenby
Hi! I am a new subscriber and new LGPC. I have been a school counselor for 11 years and venturing into private practice now. I am seeing a lot of teens with eating disorders. What resoures/trainings do you suggest to learn more and support my clients? Thanks
Wonderful! When I have worked with teens with Eating Disorders, I am always in collaboration with the medical Doctor and the Eating Disorder Clinic. As an LMFT I would not go it alone since Eating Disorder is considered a medical issue and has health risks. Hope that helps xo Quenby
Hi there. I just found your video and its very helpful for me as a social work student. I was wondering though, what factors should a practitioner consider before planning any activities for teenagers?
Thanks, glad it was helpful. There are many factors to consider when planning what you want to do with kids in a therapeutic setting.....any activity should have a goal in mind. are you doing the activity to learn more about the teen? Or to build connection? Or is it an assessment tool to gather information? is the activity designed to help the teen process something more easily ? or provide education about whatever issue brought the teen to counseling? Often I figure out what I need to work on in therapy with the teen and then I make up an activity that will help me do that work with them.
@@thegratefultherapist Ahh thanks for replying, appreciate it :)
Need to see if you can do some counseling with my son privately please reach out to me where we can sign up
Do you have any interactive therapy resources you particularly like to use for teens in teletherapy? I am an experienced in person counselor now working in a virtual setting counseling high school students. Thank you for posting these helpful videos.
I would love to know what resources you found for working with teens via telehealth! 🤓
@@TheFreedPerspective I have used “ Everyday Speech” and have looked at “Model Me Kids” as a possibility.
Where did you come up with the questions for your question cards?
Hi Tina, I have worked with teens for 15 years, so I created the teen therapy questions cards after years of trial and error. I ran groups for a decade and I learned which questions bombed and which opened teens up. Thank you. xo Quenby
What advise can you give on counseling a class that's about to sit a major international exam which may determine their future and my future as a teacher
I think I would need more information to offer any real suggestions. My style is to address things head on. NAME WHAT IS HAPPENING. I would address that many of them are probably nervous and anxious and that is normal under the circumstances. I would encourage them to take several deep breaths so they relax before the exam. Quenby
Can you help us with my teen? Where can I reach out to you if you’re able to help with my son
Thankyou great info, I'm trying to help my friend who's daughter is 14 , and depressed can my friend go with her daughter in therapy or is her daughter old enough to go by herself? Thanks
Yes of course the adult and daughter can go together! However at 14 she is def old enough to go alone too. I see kids who are only 5 alone! whatever you are all comfortable with. Thank you Quenby
Hi, do you have any good family therapy games? TIA
Honestly I have not ever played games in family therapy. I have used art and had clients work on an art piece together especially if therapy is for grief. I know many Therapists play games and it's a helpful tool but its never been my thing. Xo Quenby
Where do I go to order them?
