Remove the Stigma of Therapy 
Many people, particularly teens, automatically associate the idea of going to therapy as showing some type of weakness or that you are crazy. The reality is that nothing is further from the truth and nearly everyone could benefit from some type of counseling or therapy at one time or another in their lives. Treat getting counseling just as you would treat going to any other type of doctor to treat a problem you may be having. Issues like anxiety, depression and other behavioral problems are all medical issues that should be addressed by someone that is expert in the area such as a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist.
Explore Counseling Options
Each family and teen is going to face issues in a different way and the various types of counseling that are available can be used differently. You want to take the time to find the type of counseling that your child is going to benefit the most from. This could be individual sessions with a therapist, some type of group therapy session where they participate with other teens going through similar issues or family therapy where the whole family participates to work on the problems that the family is facing as a unit.
No matter what type of counseling may be chosen, it is important that you work to get your teen the help that he or she may need most. Talk to your teenager and communicate with them so that they know you are concerned and are trying to understand what they are going through at this time. Let them know you are there for them and want to do all you can to get them the help they need.
