Crown Health Partners: Transformative Teen Counseling and Therapy in MA

Adolescent Group Therapy

Group therapy involves a group of 5 – 10 teenagers under the supervision of a trained therapist. The session occurs in a structured and confidential setting so everyone feels safe and confident to share their thoughts and feelings. A detailed discussion takes place on specific topics like stress management, family dynamics, self-confidence, etc. 

In order to empower adolescents with life skills and coping mechanisms, several evidence-based interventions like CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness practices are incorporated into the sessions. Is it worth it? Let’s have a look at a few benefits group therapy can offer:

• Develop social and communication skills
• Teens learn that they are not alone in this journey
• High cost-effective treatment than Individual therapy 
• Increased self-awareness
• Peer Support

Adolescent Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Adolescent Dialectical Behavior Therapy involves a therapist using four tenets of DBT to develop coping mechanisms among teens. DBT is often used in the treatment of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) but has also been adapted for various other mental health conditions. It emphasizes accepting yourself the way you are for growth and self-improvement. 

 The four tenets of DBT include:

• Mindfulness
• Distress tolerance
• Emotion regulation
• Interpersonal effectiveness

Mindfulness skills are taught to help individuals observe and describe their experiences without getting caught up in emotional reactions. Distress tolerance skills include self-soothing, distraction techniques, and finding ways to accept and tolerate distress when it cannot be immediately changed. Emotional regulation involves recognizing intense emotions and strategies to manage them. Finally, interpersonal effectiveness helps individuals express their needs and set boundaries while maintaining self-respect and positive relationships with others.

Key benefits include:

• Behavioral skills training
• Crisis management
• Emotional resilience
• Self-acceptance

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Interpersonal psychotherapy
• Group therapy
• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

We have discussed CBT, DBT, and group therapy earlier. What’s EMDR? It is a psychotherapy approach that is primarily used to treat individuals who have PTSD. It uses bilateral stimulation where the patient focuses on their traumatic event while looking at the back-and-forth movement of the finger made by the therapist.
