Growing resilience, confidence, and calm this summer.

As parents, we all want to raise emotionally healthy and mentally resilient kids.

During the school year, life can feel nonstop — homework, sports practices, activities, social events, and busy schedules often leave little time to focus on emotional wellbeing and personal growth.
Maybe you’ve thought about therapy for your child, but there just hasn’t been time.

Summer can be the perfect opportunity.
With fewer academic and extracurricular demands, children and teens often have more emotional space and availability to:

✨ Learn healthy coping skills
✨ Build confidence and resilience
✨ Manage anxiety and stress
✨ Process school-related challenges
✨ Navigate friendship drama and social pressures
✨ Prepare for transitions to middle school, high school, or college
✨ Improve emotional regulation and communication

Has your child struggled this school year but never had the chance to fully address what was going on?

Summer therapy can help children and teens develop tools and skills now that they can carry with them into the next school year and beyond.

We would love the opportunity to support your child’s growth, confidence, and emotional wellbeing this summer. Reach out to Rhoda Keefer Counseling, NC PLLC. We are located in Matthews, NC and accept most BCBS plans and Aetna. www.rhodakeefer.care

The journey into parenthood is powerful—but it can also be overwhelming in ways many people don’t expect.

The perinatal period (pregnancy through the first year postpartum) brings major hormonal, emotional, and life changes. While some mood shifts are normal, many parents experience more serious challenges. In fact, 1 in 7 women develop Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs)—including depression, anxiety, OCD, and more—yet many go undiagnosed.

And it’s not just moms—1 in 10 dads experience depression during this time, often within the first 3–6 months after birth.
These struggles can affect anyone, regardless of background, and may be more likely with factors like hormone sensitivity, past trauma, sleep deprivation, or lack of support.

Feeling tired, emotional, or anxious can be part of the transition—but if you notice ongoing sadness, irritability, guilt, or trouble sleeping, it may be time to reach out.
💛 You are not alone.
💛 Support is available.
💛 Taking care of your mental health is part of taking care of your family.

Kids don’t always have the words for what they feel—but they know how to play.

Play therapy gives children a safe, supportive space to express themselves, make sense of their experiences, and build confidence and resilience along the way. Through play, kids can share their stories, process challenges, and move forward with greater emotional strength.

Our counseling practice is here to support your child’s growth and healing—one playful step at a time.

Message us to learn how play therapy can support your child www.rhodakeefer.care
