Few parenting questions stir up as much debate as whether it is okay to let your baby cry it out. 😴 The honest answer is that there is no single "right" approach. What matters most is consistency and a method that feels sustainable and right for your family (not a specific technique).
😿
Some families do best with a gradual approach, checking in on the baby at intervals. Others prefer to respond right away every time the baby fusses. Both can work. What tends to matter most for a baby's sense of security is that your responses are predictable over time and that your responses align with your beliefs.
😿
If sleep and soothing struggles are wearing your family down, our Child and Family Therapists can help you find an approach that actually fits your household.

When emotions get big, it can be hard to know what to do with them. 💛

One of the areas explored in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is emotion regulation: learning to notice emotions, understand what may be happening, and develop skills for responding to these emotions.

Emotion regulation doesn't mean getting rid of difficult feelings or always staying calm. It's about building awareness and having more tools available when emotions feel intense.

This is one of the areas teens can learn more about during our one-time Teen DBT Skills Workshop on December 14th.

The workshop is designed for students in grades 8–12 and offers an introduction to DBT skills without requiring an ongoing group commitment.

Curious what an Autism Assessment at Sentier actually involves? It happens in four parts.
🚙
First, you will complete a batch of intake forms and assessment questionnaires ahead of time, which your therapist reviews before your first appointment. From there, you will have an intake appointment, which may include additional assessments and an interview with you and, if relevant, a parent or guardian.
🚙
After that comes an interpretation session, where your therapist walks you through the results, followed by a goal setting appointment to figure out what comes next.
🚙
Sentier's Autism Assessments are designed for clients ages 16 and up, whether you are looking for a first diagnosis or want more clarity on an existing one. Mary Maggie Devorak and Abby Voigt are the masters level clinicians who conduct these assessments at Sentier.

Ever wonder what 'Sentier' actually means?
👣
It's a French word for pathway, a trail or route that helps guide you toward where you're going. We chose it because that's how we think about therapy: a journey you don't have to walk alone. We chose the French word because our owner's mom is from France.
👣
Sentier has been local, independent, and therapist-led since 2009. In an industry where more and more practices are being bought by larger corporations and private equity, we've stayed intentionally small and clinician-run, because we believe supported, sustainable therapists provide better care.
👣
We're grateful to be part of this community, helping make changes one pathway at a time.

A highly sensitive child can have a harder time at school than their grades or behavior might suggest. A loud lunchroom, a substitute teacher's different routine, or a classmate's offhand comment can feel much bigger to a highly sensitive kid than it looks from the outside.
🎒
A few things that tend to help: a heads up before schedule changes, a quiet corner or break option when things feel like too much, and checking in after school before asking about homework.
🎒
If your child's sensitivity is making school consistently hard, our Child Therapists can help you both build tools that fit.

Spooky season & improved understanding of feelings?!
🎃🎃
Kid Calm starts October 31st with a fun, Halloween themed first skill. This four week, hands-on skills group is for kids ages 7 to 10 who want to learn how to calm their bodies and brains.
🎃🎃
Each week, group members learn a new coping skill and build a piece of their own calm kit to take home. Parents receive a binder with tips and tools to reinforce the skills at home. Kids love this group and leave better equipped to feel their feelings!
🎃🎃
Led by Child Therapist Barbara Wormington, M.Ed., LPCC. Meets 9:00 to 10:30 AM on four Saturdays, October 31 through November 21, at our office in St. Paul.

How does playing board games, dress up or making slime with a child actually help them process what they are struggling with? It is one of the most common questions our Child Therapists get asked.
🧩
As our Child Therapist, Bridgett Brye, explains, play is how kids communicate before their brains are fully equipped for more formal, logical reasoning. A child who had a rough day at school might come in ready to beat the therapist at a game, or set up a dollhouse scene where a character gets left out, working through frustration or sadness the same way an adult might talk it out with a friend.

If you have tried everything to help your anxious child feel calmer and still feel stuck, SPACE Therapy might be worth exploring.

SPACE works through you as the parent, not your child. Sessions occur without your child present, though can be combined with family therapy if that feels like a better fit for your household. Some families start with SPACE alone and later add family sessions; others use both from the start. Your therapist will help you figure out what combination makes sense for your family's goals.

And if SPACE ends up not being the right fit, we can help point you toward other options at Sentier or elsewhere.

If it sounds like it might be a fit, you're welcome to reach out anytime: https://sentiertherapy.com/space-therapy/ 🌱
