Therapy with kids doesn’t always look like sitting and talking. 💛

Sessions can look like a child-friendly, evidence-based curriculum, books, and a little feeling-sorting practice! 📚🧠💭

Through age-appropriate activities, children can learn to recognize emotions, build emotional vocabulary, and practice skills they can use outside of the therapy room.

Sometimes, therapy looks a lot like playing, reading, and learning together—and that’s exactly the point. 🌱

Sometimes kids and teens need a little more than a broad question to open up about their day. Try asking specific, low-pressure questions that give them something to respond to.
Instead of focusing only on what happened, try asking about how they felt, what they noticed, and what they needed.
A few questions to try:
✨ What was the best part of your day?
✨ What was the hardest part?
✨ Did anything make you laugh?
✨ Did anything surprise you?
✨ Who did you spend time with?
✨ What are you looking forward to tomorrow?
✨ Is there anything you need help with?
And remember—you don't have to ask all of these at once! Sometimes the best conversations happen when we're simply present, curious, and willing to listen.
The goal isn't to get every detail of their school day. It's to let them know you're there when they're ready to share. 💛

Your thoughts have power. 💭✨

The start of a new school year can bring excitement, nerves, and a lot of “what ifs.” While we can’t always control the thoughts that pop into our minds, we can practice choosing thoughts that are encouraging, realistic, and helpful.

Try replacing “What if I mess up?” with “Mistakes help me learn and grow.”

Instead of “I have to get everything right,” try “My goal is progress, not perfection.”

A few words of encouragement can’t make every nervous feeling disappear—but they can remind us that we are capable of handling whatever comes our way. 🫶

New school year. New challenges. New opportunities to grow.

Save these affirmations and come back to them whenever you need a little reminder. 📚✨

Three months ago, Anchor Counseling & Wellness opened its doors with the hope of providing compassionate, accessible mental health care right here in our community.

As I reflect on these first few months, I'm incredibly grateful for the trust and support I've received. Whether you've become a client, shared my page, recommended my services, or simply offered words of encouragement, you've helped make this journey possible.

Thank you for welcoming Anchor Counseling & Wellness into this community. I'm excited to continue providing a safe, supportive space where mental health matters and everyone is met with compassion.

Here's to the next chapter—and to continuing to grow together.

Grounding is a great way to redirect focus and feel more grounded and present. This can take just a few minutes and be a great restart for your day.

Which one will you try today?

Mental health is personal.

What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s okay. The path may look different for everyone, but we all deserve 💚
