Remember this tip. 🧠💛

Children communicate through behavior long before they can explain their feelings with words. Big emotions often show up as big behaviors, especially during stress or change.

Instead of asking, “How do I stop this. ” try asking, “What is my child trying to tell me. ” Responding with curiosity and support helps children build emotional awareness, coping skills, and trust over time.

If you need support understanding your child’s big feelings and behaviors, reach out to our team today to schedule a consultation. We are here to help you and your family feel more connected. 🤝

If you’re reading this… take a moment to come back to right now. 💛

🧩 The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise is a powerful way to shift out of overwhelm by using your senses:
5 things you see • 4 things you can touch • 3 things you hear • 2 things you smell • 1 thing you taste.
🎨 This simple tool helps calm the body, settle racing thoughts, and bring you back into the present.

If your child struggles with big emotions or anxiety, we’re here to help them build grounding skills that really work. 💛

What a whirlwind the past 10 years have been. From small beginnings to a growing team, we are endlessly grateful for every step of this journey. Watching our clients grow has been the greatest reward—college acceptances, marriage proposals, babies, and everything in between. 🤍
The true measure of our success has never been numbers or milestones… it’s you. Thank you for trusting us with your stories.

know what’s kinda funny? The number of times a week I hear, “Wow, our session went so fast.” And honestly? It feels that way for me too. Time really does fly when you’re having meaningful conversations.

Most people think therapy has to be awful—but it doesn’t. It’s a space full of compassion, growth, and healing.

Yes, sometimes it’s tough. Our clients bravely look at what’s not working and what needs to change. But they never have to do it alone. We’re here to walk alongside them every step of the way. 🤍

Remember this tip!

When your child is overwhelmed, their brain is in survival mode—not learning mode. In these moments, correcting behavior often leads to more escalation.

Focus first on regulation:
• lower your voice
• offer physical or emotional closeness
• name what you’re seeing (“That feels really hard”)

Once your child feels safe and calm, they’re more able to listen, learn, and problem-solve. Regulation isn’t permissive—it’s foundational.🫶
