7 Signs Your Teen May Need a Therapist, and What to Do Next

It can be hard for parents to tell normal teenage ups and downs from something that needs more support. This guide covers seven signs a teen may benefit from therapy, including lasting changes in mood, sleep or appetite, pulling away from friends and family, falling grades or refusing to go to school, and anxiety that gets in the way of daily life. It will also explain how to bring up therapy with a teen, what to expect at the first appointment, and how LINQ Therapy’s team matches families with the right clinician at its Frisco, McKinney and Addison offices.
