We had an absolute blast at our company pickleball tournament this !

From epic rallies to unexpected underdog victories, the day was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and plenty of high-fives.

More than just a game, this was about connection—getting to know teammates and their families outside the office, cheering each other on, and building a stronger, more unified crew.

Big shoutout to everyone who played, reffed (Steve!) and rallied!

🎥 Mental Health Therapist Rebecca is finishing off her Takeover Tuesday by sharing powerful strategies to help kids “boss back” OCD thoughts—and start taking their power back. 💪

When OCD shows up, it can sound convincing, urgent, and scary. But Rebecca explains how to teach kids to:

🗣️ Name the OCD voice
🚫 Set boundaries with intrusive thoughts
✅ Practice “bossing back” instead of giving in to compulsions

These tools aren’t about ignoring anxiety—they’re about showing kids they can handle discomfort and break free from OCD’s grip.

💛 If this resonated with you or reminded you of your child, please don’t wait. OCD is treatable—and the sooner kids get the right support, the sooner they can feel more like themselves again.

📩 Reach out if you have questions or want help finding the next step.

🧠 If you're concerned your child may have OCD, don’t wait.

🎥 In the last video, Rebecca explains how ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) can change the game for kids struggling with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

➡️ Here’s why ERP works:
✔️ It helps kids face their fears gradually and safely
✔️ It reduces the urge to do compulsions for relief
✔️ It rewires the brain to trust that anxiety doesn’t last forever

💡 ERP is evidence-based, effective, and kid-friendly when guided by a trained therapist.

⏳ The earlier you start, the better the outcomes. OCD can become more complex over time—but it is absolutely treatable.

👂 If you're noticing signs like excessive worry, repetitive behaviors, or your child needing things to feel “just right,” now is the time to reach out.

🎥 What is ERP—and how does it actually help with childhood OCD?

In today’s follow-up video, therapist Rebecca Russell is walking us through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

Here’s what she covers:

🧠 Why ERP works to retrain the brain
💪 How kids learn to face fears without giving in to compulsions
🛠️ Real examples of how ERP might look in therapy with children
💬 And how you, as a parent, can support the process

ERP isn’t about ignoring fears—it’s about gently helping kids build confidence and resilience in the face of them. With the right tools and support, change is possible.

✨ If your child struggles with obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors, this is a must-watch.

🎥 Let’s keep the conversation going.

In this follow-up video, therapist Rebecca Russell dives even deeper into what OCD can look like in children—and why it’s often missed or misunderstood.

💬 Rebecca shares:

🔍 How OCD shows up differently in kids than adults

🌀 Why reassurance-seeking isn’t just “being anxious”

🧩 What to do if your child gets stuck in repetitive behaviors

💡 And why early support can make a huge difference

Whether you're a parent, educator, or caregiver—this info matters.

Kids with OCD are not being “dramatic” or “difficult”—they’re battling real, intrusive fears and doing their best to cope.

👉 Watch the full video to learn how to recognize the signs and get support.

Takeover Tuesday with Rebecca continues as she shares more about childhood OCD!

🧠 Childhood OCD is more common than many realize— and it doesn’t always look how you’d expect.

Therapist Rebecca Russell is breaking it down today for .

✨ Common Obsessions in kids can include:
🔹 Worrying about germs or getting sick
🔹 Fears of dying or something terrible happening
🔹 Needing things to feel "just right"

🔁 Common Compulsions (the behaviors kids use to try to feel safe or reduce anxiety) may include:
🔹 Excessive hand washing or cleaning
🔹 Repeating words or actions
🔹 Checking, tapping, or asking for constant reassurance

OCD can be incredibly distressing—and exhausting—for kids and families. But there’s hope. 🛑 ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is the gold standard treatment, and Rebecca is here today to walk us through what that looks like + share simple ways to start responding to unhelpful thoughts.

If your child shows signs of these patterns, you’re not alone—and help is available. Reach out. 💛
