Parents often ask about separation anxiety, a common and normal part of a child's developmental journey. Embracing this stage can lead to healthy growth and resilience. Below are two informative charts, one outlining typical separation anxiety and the other discussing its manifestation as a disorder. We recommend a helpful tool - the two halves of the heart - to reassure children of their parents' love, even when apart. Instructions and a model are provided below.
Thanks to Succes in Social Work for the great Charts!

Within my years as a clinician, I have seen how difficult it can be to communicate and encourage our loved ones to seek therapy support. Many times, we seek our own therapist in an attempt to cope with a loved one who could also benefit from a therapeutic relationship. The article below is a fantastic way of navigating these difficult conversations with loved ones. Written by a clinical psychologist, it walks you through how to start a supportive dialogue without judgment or pressure. It also helps you understand what kind of resistance you might encounter—and how to respond with empathy rather than frustration. Whether you're navigating a loved one's denial, fear, or uncertainty about therapy, this article can help you communicate more effectively while also taking care of your own well-being. It’s a thoughtful and empowering read for anyone who wants to make a positive impact on someone’s mental health journey without overstepping boundaries.

One conversation can change a life.

We all want to see our children and teens thrive in every way. But sometimes, the ones who seem "fine" are silently hurting.

This month, we are reminding families, friends, and caregivers that you do not need to have all the answers. You just need to be present and supportive.

🌟 Find a quiet, calm moment

🌟 Ask how they are feeling

🌟 Listen without judgment or interruptions

🌟 Validate their feelings

🌟 Let them know they are not alone

🌟 Offer support or help finding someone to talk to

Our goal is to make sure every individual, especially children and adolescents, has access to the support, tools, and safe space they need to talk openly about su***de prevention and mental health.

One conversation can change a life.

Start the conversation and be the difference!

I was reading today that teens are much like toddlers in terms of brain development. It’s so true if you think about it. Their emotions are volatile. They’re searching for independence. Their brains are building more rapidly at these stages than any other. If you have a teen, below are some common pitfalls to avoid. Hope it helps! 🫶🏼 - Kati LeBeau PLPC

Our concern about what others think is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history, as group belonging was essential for survival.

The article highlights that for some individuals, particularly survivors of childhood neglect or abuse, this fear of judgment can take over their lives. They may constantly fear negative opinions, over-analyze social interactions, and assume that others' behaviors are a reflection of their own perceived shortcomings. This often leads to avoiding social situations and replaying conversations in their minds. The article suggests that learning self-compassion can help to counteract this inner critic.

Concern about how others perceive us is a common experience. But for many survivors of neglect and abuse, fear of not being liked can appear to take over their life.
