My teen got their diagnosis from TikTok — what should I do?
Take it as useful data without treating it as final. TikTok is genuinely helping teens recognize that they are not alone with anxiety, ADHD, OCD, autism, or trauma — that is a good thing. But about half of viral mental-health videos contain misleading information, and many real conditions (ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism) overlap and can't be reliably self-diagnosed from a 30-second clip. The respectful move is: "I take what you're telling me seriously — let's see a professional together to understand it." Most Oregon teen-specialized therapists will hold the assessment with the teen as the primary client.
How do I get my teen to actually go to therapy?
A few things consistently work better than persuasion. Let your teen meet 2–3 therapists (most do free 15-minute consults) and pick the one they connect with — fit matters more than credentials at this age. Keep the first goal small: "go to four sessions and then we'll talk about whether to continue." Avoid framing therapy as a fix for them; reframe it as "a person who is just yours, who isn't me." If you can, do a few of your own sessions in parallel (parent coaching or your own therapy) — teens notice and trust the process more when it isn't something only inflicted on them.
What does my teen's therapist tell me, and what stays confidential?
Oregon law gives teens 14 and older the right to consent to and keep their mental health treatment confidential — including from parents. The therapist will share with you anything that involves imminent risk of harm to your teen or others, abuse, or inability to perform basic self-care. Day-to-day session content is private. Most teen therapists will offer parent-coaching meetings (with the teen's consent or in summary form) every few months. This privacy is what often allows teens to actually open up, so the trade-off is usually worth it.
