Popular models of therapy all have ways of getting you unstuck. They incorporate flexible thinking. Our child behavior therapists, family counselors, and teen therapists agree that this skill is essential for mental health.

Flexible thinking allows us to take charge of what we can control and accept what we can’t. Our child behavior therapists, family therapists, and teen counselors agree. This skill is a must-have for children, teens, parents and couples. Especially during a pandemic!

My middle schooler and I recently traveled through Alaska with a school group. This was the first time I brought my child on a trip I hadn’t planned myself, and it was a bit of a shock. Even as a child and family therapist who specializes in ADHD, I somehow neglected to think about the challenges that long hours of scheduled activities and daily packing/unpacking would bring.

You’ve already filled out the forms, paid the bill, and labeled their clothes. Now it’s time to get your children to their summer camps! Whether you’re racing to catch the camp bus, nurturing an anxious child through the transition to a new place, or helping your ADHD kiddo find that elusive other shoe, there’s added stress for parents this time of year.

Your children may not yet have the time or the skills to tell you how much you help them, so we want you to know that we see the work you do every day. We are excited for you when your child reaches a new milestone (every step counts!), and awed by the tireless work you do to help him/her get there. The effort you put it does make a difference, and it’s a big one.
