At Erika Rukin Therapy, we're committed to actively engaging with our teen clients to explore new perspectives, s to help them build confidence, resilience, and practical coping skills to effectively manage the challenges of stress, anxiety, and relationships during this crucial stage of their lives.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Teens can benefit from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) as it helps them understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are interconnected. Through this approach, teens can develop coping skills and problem-solving strategies that enable them to overcome challenges such as anxiety, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be helpful for teens to learn how to tolerate their thoughts and feelings, even if they are uncomfortable. It's important to acknowledge that these emotions are a normal part of being a teen and accepting thoughts can help prevent overwhelming feelings like anxiety, stress and insecurity.
Dialectical Behaviour Skills Training (DBT Skills Training)
Teens can benefit from DBT, by developing healthy coping skills like mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. By learning these skills, teens can learn how to tolerate intense feelings, like anxiety, anger and stress, develop healthy and secure friendships and feel comforatable in their own skin.
