A close friend’s teenager has been attending therapy, but every session seems to end with almost no conversation. Watching them struggle makes me wonder if there’s something adults can do differently. Can you recommend how to encourage a teenager to open up in therapy while respecting their space?

I saw this with a neighbor’s kid last year - weeks of silence in therapy, and adults kept worrying it wasn’t working. What actually helped was backing off a bit and focusing on small, low-pressure connection outside sessions, like casual drives or doing something together. Over time, he started opening up in his own way. This article explains that pace really well: therapy with teenager near me that accepts insurance sometimes quiet is part of the process, not failure.

Thanks for posting this because it’s easy to assume silence means nothing is happening, when that clearly isn’t always true. I really like your point about keeping the connection outside therapy relaxed instead of making every conversation about feelings. That seems much more likely to help a teenager feel safe. I’ll also take a look at the information on therapy with teenager near me that accepts insurance since I’m still learning what to expect. Really appreciate the perspective.
