Mental health problems in adolescence do not always simply resolve themselves.

“My child has begun to open up to their counselor & receive help in their confidence-building. Hopebound’s counseling has been easy to navigate and communicating with the counselor via messaging has been valuable. My child is enjoying their virtual sessions with their counselor. I feel that it would beneficial for them to continue counseling with Hopebound, as they feel comfortable with their counselor.”

“My counselor is a perfect fit. They understand my struggles as a young person in this day and age. I have learned time management and the importance of self-recognition and self-love. I want to keep meeting with my counselor because I feel like it is making a positive change in my life.”

“My child seems to be coping much better with stress. Their counselor seems very down to earth and has managed to connect well with my child despite their initial apprehensions about counseling. I’m sure my child would benefit from continued support and guidance from an adult outside of her nuclear family. The secure message center and overall platform is easy to navigate. The sign-up process was painless. I’ve been very pleased in general with the experience.”

“I have learned that it’s not a bad thing to go to counseling. I feel like it is helping me by teaching me more about myself. I felt really depressed and now I don’t feel as sad as I did before. I learned it’s good to have a plan to help when I feel that way.”

“My children adore their therapists (as do we) and seem to have a much greater understanding of their emotions. They can now articulate their feelings with each other (and us parents) when they’re upset. I feel like this came at exactly the right time. It’s been a gift. It has been incredible to see their growth in such a short time. I think having a neutral, relatable third party in their corner helps them feel heard and understood in a way they hadn’t felt before. I’m so happy we did this and honestly, I think doing it digitally/virtually makes all the difference.”

“It helps me identify what I’m feeling and why, gives me coping methods, and lets me express my bottled up feelings. I have learned how to identify and cope with sudden feelings of anxiety, and that I am not as alone as I would think.”
