Teen Counseling lets you connect with a licensed therapist who specializes in helping teens like you. 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 confidential 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 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 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?
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 THERAPIST?
There are over 4,000 therapists on 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.

Great for teens-needs different frequency options
This has worked amazing for our child. The therapist is great to work with and truly cares. App is easy to use and convenient. The only reason for 4 stars is that there is only one frequency and payment option (weekly meets paid in monthly fee). Our mental health should not be a financial worry-but let’s be honest-it does impact it and has to be a consideration for the majority of individuals. There are situations where once a month or twice a month would have a huge impact on a teen’s life and/or may be all that is needed and at a reasonable price it would be more easy for parents to commit to. After the first month my child wanted to do once a month which her therapist agreed to. They do have an option to apply for financial aid-but many parents would assume they would not qualify and it would hinder them for considering that option. Our doctor recommended this platform and I will provide the same feedback. Thank you to the company for making a difference in my child’s life! Please look into making more reasonable frequency and payment plans available to families that don’t try this because of the current plan. I promise you this is a deterrent for some (we consider led not doing) and making this change will help you make a difference for many more teens. Thanks!!
it’s improved my life.

:/
Goingthrough a rough patch. Enough to where i decided to try and find therapy. I first went to better-help said i needed to download the teen app so i did i filled out all my info and my symptoms just to be told in the end that i wasn’t “qualified” :/
Helpful
This was very helpful because we were able to start so quickly and the therapist my kid was matched with was perfect for her
Great therapy.
Whether you’re a solo adult, couple or kid, these group of therapy apps will blow you away. Get well. Do it affordably with people who care.
TeenSession
Great sessions to support my son with adolescents! Jamie Rice(counselor) is phenomenal and is doing an excellent job with our teen.
So far so good
My teen and I have had one session each and so far we are benefiting from it. It’s easy and affordable as well as convenient and private!
