Back-to-school season can be exciting, but for many teens, it also brings anxiety. 😟

The pressure to fit in, make friends, and excel academically can be overwhelming.

As a parent or caregiver, you’ve probably noticed this shift in your teen’s behavior as the school year approaches. They may feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or even afraid of facing a new year.

It’s easy to dismiss their anxiety as something they should “just get over,”..but what if anxiety isn’t something to battle, but something to manage and understand? 😟

It’s important to recognize that the feelings your teen is experiencing are valid, and they need your support to navigate them effectively.

Therapy is an excellent tool to help teens rewire their brain patterns, create a sense of safety, and learn how to regulate their emotions during stressful times.

As a parent, there’s so much you can do at home to help ease the transition. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼

The more you validate their feelings, encourage coping strategies, and model emotional resilience, the more equipped they’ll be to face whatever challenges come their way. 🤍

If you’re noticing that your teen’s anxiety is more than just pre-school nerves and is impacting their daily life, reach out to us at Sirona Therapy to start guiding your teen toward emotional resilience and better mental health.

Parenting today is different than it used to be. Social media isn’t just a pastime for adolescents... it’s often where they measure their worth.

Whether it’s through likes, comments, or how they’re portrayed online, it’s easy for adolescents to feel inadequate.

But building self-esteem in the age of social media doesn’t have to feel impossible. It takes time, patience, and the right strategies. ❤️‍🩹🫱🏼‍🫲🏼

Remember: your involvement, patience, and consistent support make all the difference.

If you need help guiding your adolescent through these challenges, we’re here to support you.

Maybe you’ve been telling yourself, “I shouldn’t feel this way, I should be stronger.” It’s exhausting. 💔

That quiet voice in your head telling you that your pain isn’t valid. But deep down, you know it is. You deserve the same compassion you so freely give to others.

If you’re struggling today, try this: take a moment to acknowledge your feelings without judgment. Simply say, “I am allowed to feel this way.” You’ll be amazed at how just giving yourself permission to feel can create space for healing. 🌿

Validation is not weakness.

It’s strength.

It’s the foundation of healing, and it’s where everything starts.

Recognize your feelings. Own them. You deserve it. ❤️‍🩹

I’ve seen firsthand how eating disorders can quietly take hold of someone’s life. The sooner they are addressed, the faster and more effectively the recovery process can begin.

I understand that reaching out for help can be overwhelming, but early intervention makes a world of difference in the physical and emotional recovery of your loved one. ❤️‍🩹

It’s not always easy, but it’s the most effective way to help.

If you're noticing signs of an eating disorder, whether it's your adolescent child or an adult family member, we're here to help guide them toward healing.

You might not like hearing this, but it’s the truth: Every time you brush off your feelings or bottle up stress, they’re learning that it’s not okay to express themselves. 😔

Every time you stay silent when you should speak up, they’re getting the message that emotions are something to hide. 👀

That’s the lesson they’re internalizing, and it’s shaping how they’ll deal with their own challenges. It’s time to show them a different way.

It’s time to lead by example. Stop hiding your emotions and start showing your adolescent the healthy ways to cope.

They’re watching, and what they see will shape the way they deal with their own challenges later in life. 🙌🏻

Your actions speak louder than words — so make them count. 🤍

I've worked with many parents who feel at a loss when their adolescent begins to struggle with mental health, and I know how difficult it can be to navigate.

Whether it's anxiety, depression, or another issue, it's completely natural to feel unsure about how to provide the right support. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼

It’s important to remember that your aolescent's mental health journey is NOT ABOUT QUICK FIXES.

It's about providing ONGOING SUPPORT and creating a foundation of trust and understanding. 💝

The process takes time, and with patience, your adolescent can feel seen, heard, and supported as they work through their challenges.

It's much more than a desire to control food. They are symptoms of deep emotional struggles and unspoken pain. And it’s time we stop simplifying them into something easily fixable.

If you’re close to someone struggling, show them empathy and support without judgment. Be there for them through the tough moments, and remind them that they are not alone in their journey. 🫂
