When the stress of the holidays starts getting to teens, these healthy habits can help!

January marks Mental Wellness Month, dedicated to offering resources to support teens on their journey to a healthier mind.

In preparation for Thanksgiving, let’s explore the concept of gratitude as a DBT skill and how it can be integrated into your teen’s daily life.

As we enter National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month, the importance of recognizing and addressing teen mental health issues cannot be overstated.

Often we feel so overwhelmed with all the things we have to do that we sometimes forget that the holidays are mostly to celebrate being with family.

Mindfulness can help those who have trauma learn how to cope with their intrusive thoughts and memories. It can help us to change the way we think.

It is so easy to give advice for how to deal with your teen’s emotional outbursts when you are not in the midst of your teen’s screaming fit or even watching them physically act out.

Often parents want their teen in therapy for “one or two sessions, five at the most.” They decide their teen needs to go to therapy and get “fixed”. If only it were so simple!

Dissociation is a condition in which a person feels detached from themselves, their feelings, the objects around them.

In DBT, “Willfulness” means rigidity, refusing anything but your strictly planned goal. It limits our way of looking at a problem.

Teens can go through periods of sadness. Depression, however, is more than a “time out” from life.

All of us have moments where our harsh inner critic pops its ugly head. How do you overcome these thoughts?

We provide an overview of adolescent anxiety, what it’s like for your child, and what to do when it’s not going away or getting better.

Problem behaviors are usually not just one or two behaviors that can be explained as “normal” teenage craziness.

We are offering discounted mental health and safety screenings for the month of March.
