New Year, New Support! 🌟
We are starting off the year strong and hitting the ground running! We have two Circle of Security® Parenting (COSP) groups starting soon, and we still have room in each. Whether you prefer the convenience of home or the connection of being in the room, we have an option for you:
Option 1: Virtual Group- Monday evenings
Option 2: In-Person Group- Sunday afternoons
To grab your spot, please email laurab@birchtherapypllccom today!

Out in the Community
Our Parent Coach Laura is staying busy this month sharing her expertise across the Triangle:
St. Timothy’s School: Laura will be presenting to parents on the vital topic of “Raising Kids in a Screen-Saturated World.”
Enloe High School: She will also be serving on a panel for juniors and seniors to address mental health and wellness during these pivotal years.
Let’s Connect!
We love being out in the community and providing support and information for families. Do you have a school, church, or neighborhood group that could benefit from a presentation or a dedicated support group?

Let us know! We would love to come to “your neck of the woods” to speak or facilitate a group.

As we reach the end of this year, we want to take a moment to pause and reflect. It has been a year of significant growth for our practice, and we are thrilled to have welcomed four amazing new therapists to our team. We have also expanded our reach with two new satellite locations in Cary and Fuquay-Varina, allowing us to better serve the community.

Regardless of how much we grow, our core mission remains the same: providing high-quality mental health treatment for children and families throughout the Triangle.

As we transition into the new year, we are incredibly thankful for your ongoing support. We also want to share a gentle reminder: Personal progress is not measured by numbers, achievements, or outward success as much as it is by effort and improvement.

In the journey of life, some years will bring highs and others will bring lows. The key is sticking with the practices that support your positive mental health and having the courage to ask for help when you need it. That resilience is what gets us through.

A Final Thought for 2026:
There is a beautiful sentiment that “The elephant does not forget its path, but it never stops moving forward.” As you enter this New Year, we hope you can honor your past experiences and the path you’ve walked, without letting them keep you from the new clearing ahead. You have the strength to carry your memories while still stepping into a fresh beginning.

Wishing you a peaceful and purposeful New Year!

Ever feel like you’re guessing what your child really needs? 🔍

Parenting is a journey of “big feelings,” and sometimes it feels like a roller coaster. Whether you’re navigating the toddler “tantrum phase,” supporting a neurodivergent child, or managing the exhaustion of the after-school burnout—you aren’t alone.

The Circle of Security Parenting program helps you:

Decode the “Why”: Learn to read the hidden cues behind the behavior.

Build Resilience: Give your child the tools to manage emotions with confidence.

Trust Your Instincts: Lean into your innate wisdom to create a secure, lasting bond.

Stop the guesswork. Start connecting!! Reach out to Laura B for more info and to register: laurab@birchtherapypllc.com. Also check out the latest blog on the Circle of Security International website “Your Holiday GPS: Navigating Relationship Potholes that come with Family Gatherings”

Give a gift that grows with them. 🌱
The best gifts are the ones that help us understand ourselves better. Whether it’s a toy/tool to help a toddler manage “big feelings” or a journal to help a teen navigate anxiety, we’ve rounded them all up in one place.

Check out our new Amazon Storefront for our most-loved books and therapeutic toys.

Note: We share these because we love them and see them work—not for profit. We receive no commissions or kickbacks from your purchases. We do have Birch specific merchandise available, also in linktree.

Grateful for time to connect with each other during such a busy season!!! Love being with these amazing ladies and missed those who couldn’t join. 💚

Struggling with the loud, busy world- even more magnified during the holidays??? You are not alone!

My Quiet Place by Monica Mikai is a soothing and empowering picture book that follows one child’s journey to navigate sensory overload—from the bustle of breakfast to the chaos of the playground.

This compassionate story offers tangible self-regulation tools and encouragement for children who experience anxiety, ADHD, or simply feel overwhelmed by noise and action. It beautifully shows kids how to:
Identify their need for calm.
Find or create their own “quiet place,” even when they are out and about.
Share their quiet peace with friends who need it too.
A must-have resource for families, classrooms, and therapists to foster empathy and make neurodiverse children feel seen and understood, especially this time of year. 🎁

We are thrilled to welcome Larry Wright, MSW, to our team! He has been a dedicated professional in social work and mental health since 2013, relocating from Texas (Weatherford College, Tarleton State) to earn his Master’s at North Carolina Central University. He brings a wealth of experience from non-profits, foster care, and community therapy.

Larry specializes in supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and difficult family dynamics. He has a particular passion for working with ADHD and neurodivergent clients, focusing on affirmation and honoring unique ways of engaging with the world.

His approach is collaborative, strength-based, and deeply affirming, drawing from Trauma-Informed Care, DBT, Expressive/Play Therapy, and Positive Psychology.

Larry will be working in our North Raleigh office. Schedule a phone consultation on our website to discuss working with Larry!

Remember that scene in Christmas Vacation when the relatives are ringing the doorbell and each ring becomes more and more ominous? That final DING feels deep and full of foreboding.
I imagine that—despite all the joy the holidays can bring—you might be feeling a bit of that same feeling!

December is a mix of hustle and bustle, time with family and friends, giving and receiving, stress, frustration, overwhelm, and moments of peace. No matter what this month brings, I hope you remember that your mental health and the wellbeing of your family are of the utmost importance. It’s not about comparison; it’s about what brings you joy and peace. Wishing you both this season.💚

Here’s what’s happening this month at Birch Therapy:

December 10: Laura Brimberry will be joining a panel of mental health professionals for Raleigh Charter’s annual Mental Health and Wellness Parent Night.

Winter Circle of Security Parenting Group begins January 4. Registration is now open. Please email Laura Brimberry for details: laurab@birchtherapypllc.com.

Holiday Break: We won’t be scheduling new client phone intakes from December 22–26, but we’ll be back the following week, ready to support you in 2026.

Wishing you warmth, rest, and moments of calm this holiday season.⛄️

As we transition from the season of gratitude to the season of giving, our final thank you goes to the most important people – YOU! Whether you are a client, follower, blog reader, group member, or presentation attendee, we are grateful to be a part of your lives. Your dedication to your wellness journey does not go unnoticed, and we celebrate the effort and courage you bring every day.👏🏻

Every day we see our therapists in action—supporting, encouraging, counseling, playing, and holding safe space for individuals and families navigating challenges, mental health concerns, stressors, and so much more. We are grateful for their skills, dedication, and unwavering commitment to walking alongside their clients. Showing up is not always easy, especially when our own cups are full, but our therapists demonstrate an authenticity that is unparalleled. We are not perfect; this work is sometimes messy, but our hands will always be there.

We also want to honor our behind-the-scenes support!
You might not see them as often, but these staff and contract support workers help our practice run smoothly and efficiently. We’d like to give a special thank-you to:

⭐️Ginger Espino – Operations Director, and first point of contact for the practice
⭐️Jay McClees – Office Manager and bringer of Pirate’s B***y :)
⭐️Aimee Henley – Our bookkeeping wizard
⭐️Katie Rittershaus – Photographer for headshots & office photos (you make us look good!)
⭐️Kenyatta Morissey – For the treats that make our meetings just a bit sweeter
⭐️Laura Davis & Taz’s Tees – Fun and creative Birch merch
⭐️Velia – Keeps our offices clean, cozy, and welcoming.
Working together makes this work possible, and we’re thankful for every person who joins us in caring for our community.🏡

Nothing means more to us than when members of the community refer families to our practice. Friends and family, neighbors, doctors, therapists, schools, and churches — we are truly overwhelmed by your trust in us to support the people in your life or in your care. We do not take this responsibility lightly.

We also love collaborating with our partners to ensure continuity of care and to support clients by being part of a team. We are pleased to share a new partnership with Grace Christian School in Cary, and we look forward to working together.

Thank you as well to Edenton Street United Methodist, White Memorial Presbyterian, St. Mary’s School, and St. Timothy’s School for providing space for our groups, therapists, and presentations. It really does take a village — and isn’t it so much easier when we build that village together? 💚
