🐎✨ 2026 is the Year of the Horse—and the energy is real.

If your feed has been buzzing about momentum, freedom, and fresh starts… you’re not imagining it. The Fire Horse arrives February 17 and brings symbolism we’re more than ready for: confidence, creativity, passion, strength, and grace.

Art education consultant Barb Stump's newest blog dives into what the Lunar New Year represents, why this year is so significant, and how you can harness Horse energy without rigid resolutions—through reflection, journaling, and tuning into who you’re becoming (not just what you’re doing).

✨ Think intention over pressure
✨ Becoming over achieving
✨ Momentum that actually feels aligned

Why offer the Parent Executive Functioning Lab and Focus Lab for middle & high school students at the same time? 💡

Because when parents and students are learning the same skills in parallel, support at home becomes clearer, more consistent, and far more effective.

While it’s not required to enroll in both, parents who participate alongside their student gain a deeper understanding of what executive functioning challenges actually feel like—and how to reinforce strategies in real life (not just in theory).

🗓 4 sessions beginning February 7
📚 Skills for school and life

Winter has a way of making stillness feel too easy ❄️—but prioritizing movement during the colder months is one of the best things you can do for your mental health, mood, and energy.

Regular movement can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and support emotional regulation—especially when daylight is limited and routines feel off. And no, it doesn’t have to mean intense workouts or braving icy sidewalks 🧣

Our newest blog post by Talar Bagdasarian is packed with realistic, winter-friendly ideas to help you keep your body moving in ways that actually feel doable.

✨ Think gentle, flexible, and supportive—not all-or-nothing.

Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs) can be a powerful therapeutic tool. 🎲
In therapy, they support communication, emotional regulation, flexible thinking, and confidence-building — all in a fun, low-pressure setting.

At G3, therapist Max Carney has specialized training in using TTRPGs as part of therapy, blending creativity and connection to support meaningful growth.

Sometimes therapy works best when it doesn’t feel like therapy at all.

So grateful to be part of Novi Parent Camp this weekend 💛

Many of our G3 therapists and staff showed up to support families, share practical tools, and connect with parents doing the hard (and important) work of raising kids and teens. Bonus joy: Lexie, our therapy dog, was there soaking up all the love 🐾

Highlights from our presentations:
✨ Cindi & Max — The Difficulty of Work Completion: how to support kids & teens who struggle with executive functioning
✨ Liz — Non-Academic College Readiness: helping high schoolers build independence and strong mental health for college and beyond

We love being part of conversations that focus on real-life skills, emotional health, and meeting kids where they are. Thanks to everyone who attended and made it such a thoughtful, energizing day!

Using dogs in Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) has become increasingly popular in recent years—supported by both well-studied research and lived experience.

For clients who are comfortable with dogs and request a therapy dog in session, their presence can naturally ease tension and create a sense of calm. Petting a dog has been shown to release endorphins, helping clients feel more relaxed and grounded.

In couples therapy, a therapy dog can offer a shared point of focus, making it easier for partners to soften defenses. Children, and many adults who struggle with vulnerability, may also find it easier to express tenderness and emotion with a dog in the room.

🐾 Galvin Growth Group is proud to have our own certified therapy dog, Lexie, who is currently working alongside several of our therapists.

Executive functioning skills are the tools we use every day to plan, organize, manage time, follow through, and work toward goals—both in school and in life.

When these skills are still developing, kids and teens may struggle with things like starting tasks, staying organized, managing emotions, or keeping up with school demands. The good news? Executive functioning skills can be taught, practiced, and strengthened.

This February, G3 is offering Executive Functioning Skills Groups for:
✨ Middle school students
✨ High school students
✨ Parents who want practical tools to support their child’s skill development at home

Our groups focus on real-life strategies, supportive learning, and skill-building that translates beyond the classroom.

So many of us were taught to cope by pushing feelings aside — staying busy, staying quiet, staying “fine.”

Therapy offers something different: permission. Permission to feel, to name what’s coming up, and to express it safely. 💬 If this resonates and you’re thinking about starting therapy, we’re here to help. 🤍

Our team includes a number of qualified therapists, and our intake specialist will take the time to thoughtfully match you with the right fit for your needs.

That’s why we host our Executive Functioning Parent Lab concurrently with our Focus Lab for middle and high school students.

While kids are building skills like planning, organization, time management, flexibility, and emotional regulation in a fun, kid-friendly setting, parents are learning how to support those same skills at home—with expert guidance, practical strategies, and real-life examples.

Each week, both groups cover parallel topics, so families are speaking the same language and working toward the same goals.

✨ Kids gain tools for school and life
✨ Parents gain insight, confidence, and strategies
✨ Everyone feels more supported

Because executive functioning skills don’t develop in isolation—and parents play a vital role in helping them grow.

Being “nice” can look like strength.
Until it starts costing you your energy, your boundaries, and your sense of self.

People-pleasing often isn’t about kindness—it’s about safety, approval, and avoiding conflict. And while it may have helped once, it can quietly lead to burnout, resentment, and disconnection from yourself.

You don’t have to stop being kind to take care of yourself.
You’re allowed to have needs, limits, and a voice too.

✨ Launching in February: The Art of Socializing ✨

Social skills don’t always come naturally—and that’s okay. Our Art of Socializing skill-builder workshop is a 4-week group designed to help kids build confidence, communication, and connection in a supportive, low-pressure setting.

Through fun, interactive lessons and role-playing, participants will practice:

Reading social cues

Speaking clearly & listening actively

Managing emotions

Resolving conflict

Navigating friendships and peer pressure

This group is ideal for kids who could benefit from a little extra structure and encouragement while building real-world social skills alongside peers.

📅 Saturdays: Feb 1, 8, 15, 22
👧🧒 Ages 10–14 | Grades 4–8 | All genders

Confidence grows with practice—and we’re here to help. More information at the link in bio!

Change got you down?


  • Do you feel stuck and yearn to change, but are stalled at the starting blocks?

  • Are you drowning in unplanned change, and feeling numbing stress?

    • Change—and really, your whole life—is a journey, not a destination. Together, we’ll identify and prioritize what you want to achieve, and set you up with tools and methods to take on and take charge of that journey. You’ll be better equipped to learn, expand your horizons, and capitalize on the process as you move through it.
