Have an athlete? Mental edge is real. If you want your child to build their mental edge consider a few sessions with Dr. Kyle. She has completed specialized training in sports psychology and has openings for athletes looking to build their mental resilience.

Health misinformation is real. Recent studies show that the majority of videos on TikTok offering advice on dealing with mental health concerns contain misinformation. We’d also like to point out that the best source for therapeutic treatment of conditions like OCD and ADHD can be found from reputable sources like the IOCDF website and the American Academy of Pediatrics. When someone tells you that your therapist has to do EMDR, play therapy, or brainspotting for these conditions. that’s a big watch out. A core value of our practice is to use evidence-based interventions only, and we are constantly growing in our knowledge of developments in the field.

Before the snow fell, our group went to see the Amy Sherald exhibit at the BMA. Sherald has strong connection to Baltimore from her years attending MICA and living and working in the city afterwards. Our lunch conversation after the tour somehow got to how organic chemistry is like some forms of art - it appeals to some people and not others. Each of our providers has an art/music interest and some experience.... ask them what they thought of the exhibit next time you see them and try to make it in person before it leaves the BMA.

Getting anxious as we approach the 12 days of Christmas? Is it all a little too much?

We suggest the “5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique as you hit your most challenge part of the holidays.

Naming (even in your head) 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste forces the brain to shift attention, breaking the loop and moving the brain from responding to thinking. Grounding returns the brain to the here and now. Start to gather those things as you enter a potentially anxious situation.

The exercise uses five different senses, engaging multiple neural pathways and crowding out the emotional system, giving the brain a sense of stability and structure.

Of course getting enough sleep, eating well, having positive social interaction and physical activity also help!

Photos for you to practice 5-4-3-2-1.

Sounds like a plan!

The holiday season can be joyful — but it can also be stressful, overwhelming, or isolating, especially if you’re living with anxiety or depression. If parties, travel, family gatherings, or expectations feel like “too much,” you’re not alone.

A few ways to ease holiday stress:
• Let go of perfection and lower expectations
• Remember most people aren’t focused on you as much as you think
• Avoid using alcohol or substances to cope
• Set boundaries and say no when you need to
• Plan ahead for travel or busy events
• Talk with kids about what to expect to reduce their anxiety too

You deserve a season that feels manageable and meaningful — not stressful.
