The initial step involves assessing the teen’s needs, concerns, and goals through individual sessions and possibly involving their parents or guardians. Building a trusting and supportive relationship.

Based on the assessment, the counselor designs a personalized treatment plan that may include various therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness exercises, art therapy, or family therapy.

Throughout the counseling process, regular progress assessments are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions and make adjustments as needed. The counselor provides ongoing support, encouragement, and guidance to help the teen navigate challenges, implement learned skills, and sustain positive changes.
