Whenever you need and wherever you are, just text your therapist or schedule a video or phone call. Your therapist is here to help you thrive! HOW DO I START? Invite your parent(s) 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 therapy room Your 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 therapy services. HOW DOES THERAPY WORK? You and your therapist will get your own “room.”This will be your place to communicate with your therapist day or night. You can access this room from any internet connected device, wherever you are. You can write about yourself, the things going on in your life, ask questions and discuss the challenges you’re facing. Your therapist 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 THERAPIST PRIVATE? Your parent will not have access to this room. You can talk to your therapist 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 therapist, 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 therapist 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 therapist that you know of an elderly person who is being abused or neglected. Please consult with your therapist about what kind of information and updates your parent(s) may get regarding your work with your therapist. WHO ARE THE THERAPISTS?
