Learn how Open-Ended Questions, Affirmations, Reflection, and Summarizing can rebuild understanding and strengthen your connection with your teen.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Common Cognitive Distortions & Coping Skills

Ever find your teen saying, “It’s not fair,” or “I’ll never get this right”?
Those thoughts may feel small in the moment—but they often reveal deeper patterns called cognitive distortions that can shape emotions, confidence, and behavior.

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), teens and young adults can learn to recognize and challenge these unhelpful thought patterns—building self-awareness, resilience, and emotional balance along the way.

In our latest article, Jason Drake, LCSW-S, BCN, EMDR Trained, breaks down the most common cognitive distortions teens face and the CBT tools that can help them manage anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively.

What if they realized how capable and strong they truly are?

In our latest article, we explore the powerful strengths teens bring to therapy — and how these same traits help them overcome life’s toughest challenges.

Neurofeedback: Why It May Be the Best Starting Point for Your Teen or Young Adult

Jason Drake, LCSW-S, BCN, EMDR Trained, explains why parent involvement is key, what updates you can expect, and how therapists can maintain the trust of your teen while still supporting the whole family.
