Teen Counseling

About Teen Counseling

Teen Counseling lets you connect with a licensed counselor who is specialized in helping teens like you. Whenever you need and wherever you are, just text your counselor or jump on a video or phone call. Your counselor is always here to help you thrive!

HOW DO I START?
- Invite your parent to sign up. They fill out a consent form for you (required by law)
- Once your parent subscribes, you will be matched with a licensed therapist and invited to your own confidential counseling room
- The therapist will communicate with you on the Teen Counseling app using text, phone, and video

WHY DO I NEED PARENTAL CONSENT?
As required by law, a parent or legal guardian must fill out a consent form before you can receive online counseling services.

HOW DOES COUNSELING WORK?
You and your counselor will get your own secure “room”. This will be your private place to communicate day or night, 24/7. You can access this room from any internet connected device, wherever you are. Your parent will not have access to this room.

You can write about yourself, the things going on in your life, ask questions and discuss the challenges you’re facing. Your counselor will login to the same room and respond with feedback, insights and guidance.

Together you’ll work towards making a positive change in your life, accomplishing your goals and overcoming your troubles.

IS WHAT I SHARE WITH MY COUNSELOR PRIVATE?
You can talk to your counselor about anything, but there are a few things that they would be required to share with either your parents or other adults. If you share any of the following issues with your counselor, they would have to break confidentiality for your protection or the protection of others:

• If you are seriously contemplating severely harming yourself or someone else.
• If you share with your counselor that you are being abused or neglected, or know of another individual under 18 who is being abused or neglected.
• If you share with your counselor that you know of an elderly person who is being abused or neglected.

Please consult with your counselor about what kind of information and updates your parent(s) may get regarding your work with the counselor.

WHO ARE THE COUNSELORS?
There are over 4,000 counselors in Teen Counseling, each with at least 3 years and 2,000 hours of hands-on experience. They are licensed, trained, experienced and accredited psychologists (PhD/PsyD), marriage and family therapists (MFT), clinical social workers (LCSW), licensed professional counselors (LPC), or similar credentials.

All of our therapists have a Master’s Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their respective field. They have been qualified and certified by their state professional board and have completed the necessary education, exams, training and practice.
