Question 1

Do you work with college students and young adults (stress, anxiety, transitions)?

Accepted Answer

We offer practical tools for coping, confidence, and healthy routines so you can feel more grounded and thrive.

Yes, we provide counseling for college students and young adults who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and major life transitions. Whether you are starting college, transferring schools, managing a heavy workload, or preparing for graduation, our individual therapy gives you a safe, confidential space to reset and move forward.

In sessions, we look at what is fueling the anxiety and what will help right now. Your therapist may use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful thought loops, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to handle big emotions, and mindfulness-based tools for grounding, focus, and sleep. If past experiences are still affecting your present, we can also use trauma-informed therapy such as EMDR or Brainspotting when appropriate.

We offer in-person appointments and online therapy and virtual counseling through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, so support can fit a student schedule. Sessions are typically 45 or 60 minutes, often weekly or every other week at first, and spaced out as you build skills and meet goals.

If you want added structure for attention, planning, or career direction, you may benefit from ADHD and executive functioning coaching or Career Coaching.

Question 2

How does confidentiality work for teen therapy, and what role do parents play?

Accepted Answer

In teen and adolescent counseling, what your teen shares is kept private with a few safety limits. We follow HIPAA and only break confidentiality if there is risk of harm, suspected abuse or neglect, or a legal requirement. Parents can support goals, join parent check-ins, or take part in family therapy with your teen’s consent when possible.

Confidentiality in teen and adolescent counseling helps therapy feel safe and effective. At Kellen Mental Health, we protect your teen’s privacy in both in-person counseling and online therapy and virtual counseling. Sessions are private, and records are handled under HIPAA and applicable laws.

Early on, we explain what stays between your teen and their therapist, and what must be shared. The main limits are safety and legal requirements such as suspected abuse or neglect, a serious and imminent threat to someone’s health or safety, or a court order. We also agree on how we will communicate with you as a parent so there are no surprises. You can review details anytime in our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

Parents still matter a lot. You may help with consent and scheduling, share background that helps us understand what is going on, and support healthy changes at home. We often teach skills from CBT for anxiety and stress management and from DBT for emotion regulation. If your teen is dealing with depression counseling needs, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, trauma and PTSD therapy concerns, or LGBTQ+ identity stress, we tailor individual therapy to fit them.

With your teen’s input, we can add parent check-ins, joint sessions, or Family Therapy to improve trust and communication. If you want extra support for parenting stress, Parent Coaching Services can be a helpful add-on.
