Tips from our Kensington, Maryland Counselors for August 2021
Treasure Hunt Parenting
Parenting is so much more fun when you approach it with curiosity! Nicole Filipe LCMFT explains how to turn parenting into a “treasure hunt.” Try it to bring more joy into your life and help your child or teen find their strengths.
In Person Therapy During COVID-19: Update on our Policies
The mask mandate is back in effect in Montgomery County. Please ensure that your mask and your child’s fit securely over nose and mouth when coming to our office. And do NOT attend your appointment in person if you have symptoms or know that you have been exposed to COVID. Read our full policies here.
Separation Anxiety Goes Back to School
Separation anxiety has intensified for kids and teens in the past year. Heightened awareness of personal safety + more time spent at home = increased fear of going out. (This is always true, so be sure to plan plenty of outings for your anxious child in non-pandemic times.) Fortunately, there are ways to help your child feel safe going back to school. Read about them here.
