"Anxiety is both the symptom and messenger." S. Paul. Anxiety is a cluster of symptoms, yet, at its core embodies messages to be understood and worked with, toward growth and healing. If you wonder whether your teen has the capacity to understand themselves, they are probably already struggling to do so, and could likely benefit from a place and person (and group of cohorts) to guide them. Working in this way develops a skill that can lead to a life of not just managing anxiety but learning and growing from it. Eight weeks, starting Tuesday February 7th, 4-6 participants.

Social connection groups for neurodivergent elementary, middle and high schoolers are a place where children, tweens, and teens can connect in the ways that are most natural for them, with peers who have similar interests and overlapping neurotypes. We’ll be using Konfident Kidz & AUsome Training’s social communication activities created by neurodivergent teachers and utilized with permission from the primary creator. In these groups we do not teach neurotypical social skills. Rather, we help kids and teens fully embrace who they are while navigating the predominately neurotypical world.

Hypnosis reaches the part of your mind where eating patterns actually live. Most diets fail because they work on willpower alone. This program works at the subconscious level where food habits, emotional eating, and self-sabotage are formed. You learn to want different things, not just resist the same ones. Sessions cover portion control, emotional eating, motivation to move, and building a sustainable relationship with food. This is not another diet. This is a permanent shift in how your mind relates to your body. New clients welcome. Visit our website to book a free consultation.
