Specialized Therapy for Children & Families, LLC "A Journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." -Lao Tzu

Therapeutic counseling for children, adolescents, adults & families

Providing counseling services in the area of psychology, I am trained to diagnose & treat concerns, ranging from work stress, to relational issues, to mood disorders. I have more than 10 years expertise working with people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, and panic attacks, as well as life stresses. I also specialize in addressing a variety of family issues such as women's multiple roles,

parenting & family problems, physical health concerns, how to find time for one's social and emotional needs, and many more. How can you be there for others if you haven't learned to be there for yourself? I am here to respectfully & caringly provide a safe place for you to talk things out, relieve stress, take in comforting, and learn new strategies. Please feel free to explore my website. I welcome you to contact me with any questions or to set up an initial consultation...

💙Mental Health. A conversation worth having. A voice worth hearing. For over 40 years, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America has been the trusted, science-backed resource for anyone navigating anxiety, depression, and related conditions. Every resource they offer is evidence-based, completely free,
and built to meet people exactly where they are. 🙏We love their website and we encourage you to check it out and spend time reading the personal stories of those who so courageously shared their narratives. Connection is found thru knowing that we are not alone. And certainly, that is one principle that the ADAA has established their foundation on: ensuring that everyone has a place, feels seen, leans in, gains support, and has access to free resources. ✨We see your work ADAA & we are so proud to be partners with you + grateful to feel seen BY you! ✨Checkout : ADAA.ORG & https://adaa.org/educational-resources/from-our-community/stories-of-triumph

🌅This year’s national theme, “More Good Days, Together,” reminds us that progress in mental health is built through connection between providers, families, schools, and communities working side by side.

🤲All of us at Specialized Therapy for Children & Families are inspired by the dedication of our partners who serve youth with emotional and behavioral challenges. For many of the young people in our care, a “good day” may look different than it does for others. It might mean feeling safe enough to engage in school, learning one new coping skill, repairing a relationship, or simply getting through the day with support and dignity. Each of those moments matters.

👏The “More Good Days, Together” theme encourages us to ask two important questions:
· What does a good day look like for the youth we serve?
· And how can we remove barriers so those good days are possible more often?
At Specialized Therapy, we believe the answers lie in early intervention, trauma-informed care, coordinated systems, and strong partnerships with referral sources who know their communities best.

👥Throughout May, we invite you to join us in spotlighting hopeful outcomes, sharing practical resources, and encouraging conversations that reduce stigma around children’s mental health. Whether you are a school professional, healthcare provider, fellow therapist, dietician, or community advocate, your role is essential in helping young people feel seen, supported, and understood.

Hope✨. Help💕. Healing🤍.

✨This May, we’re going deeper than ever. Every Monday throughout Mental Health Awareness Month, we’ll be sharing something we call Mental Health Mondays - a dedicated space for real conversations, expert insights from our much respected colleagues & professionals in the field of mental health, resources for you to check out, and stories from the community that remind us that none of us are doing this alone.
Because the truth is, feeling grounded doesn’t happen by accident. It takes intention. It takes community. ❤️Sometimes, it takes setting time aside, putting on some soft music, wearing your coziest snuggle outfit and giving yourself permission to just breathe. We’re so grateful you’re here. This month, and every month.✨ -Kristy Fernand

How nice… 🍃to begin each day at minimum with a short peaceful stroll. “Inner Freedom allows us to savor the lucid simplicity of the present moment, free from the past, and emancipated from the future.”- Matthieu Ricard, “Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill.”

“Being an empath is a gift... but without awareness, it can feel like a burden.
You can feel deeply, you can sense everything around you and you can hold space for others in a way not everyone can.
But here is the truth, you were not meant to carry the world on your shoulders and allow this gift to turn into a curse.
Self-care for empaths is not a luxury, it’s a spiritual responsibility, especially if you choose to be in service.
The moment you start honoring your energy, everything shifts, your relationships, your clarity and of course your inner peace.
Let this be your reminder to come back home to yourself🤍”

🙏Thank you for this reminder🙏-(In collaboration with) The Inner Radiance Institute

“So I guess I used to think I had to choose or show just one side of me here- be the fashion loving, NYC version of myself or the jump in the lake, curly hair don’t care, carefree me.
What I finally learned this year that may help someone else is that editing yourself doesn’t make you better, it just makes you smaller. Not to mention, it also makes it impossible for your
“people” and experiences to find you. You don’t have to choose a side of you, you actually have to feed every part of you, no matter how different the parts of you are.
I didn’t become a different person this year- I guess I just let every part of me exist in the same room. Your life will get so much better when you show up as the whole version of you, and don’t you dare hide one single piece. XO” -livschreiber
