What a month it's been! 💙
The ZPH team has had the privilege of connecting with students, parents, and community members across several incredible events this spring, and we are so grateful for every opportunity to show up and serve.

Here's a recap of where we've been:
Summit Wellness Symposium | April 28
We presented Putting the Joy Back Into Parenting at this year's Summit Wellness Symposium. Parents joined us for a meaningful conversation about understanding teens during this pivotal stage of life, building practical tools for everyday parenting challenges, and strengthening the parent/teen relationship. This one was close to our hearts!

Roxbury SEL Community Night | April 30
We participated in Roxbury's Social Emotional Learning Community Night with our Shred Your Stress activity, sharing resources to help students and families build healthy coping skills.

Cranford High School Wellness Fair | April 30
Also on April 30, we were at the Cranford High School Wellness Fair introducing students to Pocket Power Source — a hands-on activity where students created their own grounding and calming personalized stones to carry with them as a reminder to pause, breathe, and reset.

Coming Up: Creature Comfort Pet Therapy | May 6
Next Tuesday, we'll be presenting Showing Up When It Matters Most: Pet Therapy After a School Tragedy for Creature Comfort Pet Therapy volunteers. This presentation is designed to help volunteers understand how to best support students and staff following a tragedy in their community. It's important, meaningful work and we are honored to be part of it.

We believe that wellness doesn't just happen in a therapist's office. It happens in school hallways, community centers, and conversations between parents and kids. Thank you to every organization that welcomed us!

Interested in having ZPH present at your next event or wellness fair? We'd love to connect.

May and June can be brutal for students. The end of the school year is in sight, but the final stretch brings state testing, final exams, projects, and emotional transitions all at once. If your child is snapping more, losing sleep, or suddenly "sick" every morning, these aren't signs of laziness. They're signs of real overwhelm.
In our latest blog, we break down why these final weeks are so hard, what warning signs to watch for, and practical strategies that actually help. Plus, guidance on when stress points to something deeper.
You don't have to navigate this alone. Read the full post and get support for your family.

You meet every deadline. You show up early. You hold it all together.
So why are you exhausted all the time?

That feeling has a name: high-functioning anxiety. It hides behind productivity, perfectionism, and people-pleasing — and because everything looks fine on the outside, most people never get the help they deserve.

Swipe through to learn the 6 signs, why staying busy keeps you stuck, and how therapy can help you feel better — not just function better.

At The ZPH Group, we specialize in evidence-based anxiety treatment for children, teens, and adults in Florham Park, NJ. CBT, ACT, and a compassionate whole-person approach that actually works.

New patients seen in 1 to 2 weeks. Free 15-minute consultation available.

The spring semester slump is real — and if your child seems exhausted, overwhelmed, or just "over it," you're not alone. By February and March, students have been "on" since September, and their mental reserves are running low. The good news? With the right support and strategies, they can push through and finish the year strong. 💙 If your child is struggling, we're here to help — contact us at (973) 200-2037 or visit zphgroup.com to schedule a consultation today!

Big behaviors usually mean big feelings. 💛
When kids don’t yet have the words or tools to manage what they’re feeling, their behavior does the talking.

Marni Mendez works with children, teens, and families to build emotional awareness, strengthen regulation skills, and create healthier ways to express big emotions—at home and at school.

Support starts with understanding.
