Building Confidence in Kids

It’s tough to watch your child struggle with confidence, whether it’s starting a new class, joining a team, or facing something unfamiliar. As parents, our instinct is to jump in and fix things, but real growth comes when we help them learn to handle challenges themselves.

Here are 6 ways to support your child without making things harder:
1. Validate their feelings: let them know it’s okay to feel nervous or frustrated.
2.Model calm confidence: show steadiness and belief in their ability.
3.Encourage small steps: break challenges into manageable pieces.
4.Focus on effort, not outcomes: praise persistence, not perfection.
5.Create a safe space: let them know all feelings are welcome.
6.Empower problem-solving: ask curious questions and let them find their own solutions.

When we walk alongside our kids, not ahead of them, we teach them one of life’s most powerful lessons: they are capable of doing hard things.

Veterans Day is a time to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the people who have served our country. Today, we pay tribute to those who have protected our freedoms—and we also recognize the unseen battles many continue to face long after their service.

For many veterans, the impact of trauma does not end when they return home. PTSD, anxiety, and depression are real and valid experiences, and healing is not a journey that needs to be walked alone.

Therapy can be a powerful tool in restoring a sense of safety, rebuilding emotional strength, and creating pathways toward peace and resilience. This Veterans Day, we honor your courage not only in service, but in seeking support when you need it.
To all who have served, thank you. Your mental health matters, and we are here for you.

Empty Your Trash for 2025! ✨

Just like that satisfying email "swoosh" when you empty your trash, the end of the year is the perfect time to clear out your mental and physical clutter.

Here's your practical purge:

External Cleanse: Look for things you've outgrown, never used (tags still on!), or that are just cluttering your space (desk, closet, car). Prune one item today!

Internal Purge: What's clogging your mental inbox?

Tasks: That unfinished chore, that long-overdue call. Get it off your docket!

Feelings: Resentments or grudges. Can you solve it, or is it time to drag it to the mental 'trash'?

Release: Try writing down painful feelings in detail, and then shredding the paper. Feel the tangible release.

Make space for growth, inspiration, and new beginnings. Feel the freedom that comes with a clean slate!

This month, we stand in solidarity with everyone affected by lung cancer; patients fighting the illness, caregivers offering support, and individuals mourning someone they have lost. Lung cancer doesn’t just impact the body; it also affects mental health, relationships, and daily life.

Therapy offers a path toward emotional healing by helping you navigate fear, grief, overwhelm, and the difficult “unknowns” that come with illness. Support is available to help you process your feelings, build resilience, and find moments of peace in the midst of uncertainty.

No matter where you are in this journey, your feelings are valid, and help is here at The Counseling Center.

Halloween can be a time of great excitement, fun, creativity and adventure.
For some others it is a chance to be or feel quite scary—people sidle up to concepts, characters and images around death, afterlife—ghosts, zombies, undead, etc.

How do we handle our fear?

Perhaps the best way is to find your own unique way to be in it! For example, enjoy the candy, the trick or treat fun and admire the creative costumes. Decorate the house, the yard, the front stoop. Carve pumpkins, or attend a parade or pumpkin patch. Or watch a fun movie or tv show, make a favorite meal or special snack. Be with friends. And most importantly, enjoy the candy/treats without the fear!

Today is National Cat Day! A myriad of studies have shown animals bring comfort to young, old, and everyone in between. Check out our featured feline, Spoon. He was rescued at two weeks old and has been the perfect support.

The companionship of a cat (as well as other animals) underscores the deep attachment of love and care and constancy we all benefit from when we have that in our life. Hence, even in our most difficult and vulnerable moments, our animals will still love us, be there for us, and sometimes can feel even more attuned to our feelings than human beings.

In short, our animals can be a barometer for how we are doing and what is happening around us. A calm home means a calm cat; a frantic one creates uneasiness. How wonderfully comforting to have that presence there for us each and every day!

”It’s not your fault.”

That scene in Good Will Hunting stays with so many of us—not just because of what’s said, but because of what it represents: the moment someone finally feels safe enough to let their guard down.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you see yourself with compassion. At The Counseling Center, we create that kind of space—one where you don’t have to carry it all alone, where understanding replaces judgment, and healing begins with being seen.

Sometimes, the first step is hearing those words—“it’s not your fault”—for yourself. We must learn to accept and then let go of blame. As the saying goes, “underneath Blame is Shame,”— therapy can help to release those emotional burdens.

On a magnificent sunny day last week, we found ourselves on the lawn of the Bronxville School with some 450 students and faculty members supporting Mental Health Day. As we all know, students today are quite stressed out, and we hoped to offer some tools and simple tips to de-stress. Squishy, stretchy stress balls to squeeze away their anxiety were on hand. And we really loved assembling the colorful pinwheels that came with printed deep breathing tips. And the advice isn’t just for students! Teachers and Administrators can feel stress, too! Swipe to read our tips—Pinwheel not required!

Be a Transformer

This month, The Counseling Center began our annual appeal, reaching out to friends and neighbors who believe in the power of care and connection.

We know that therapy can be out of reach for many individuals and families, and we never want cost to be the reason someone can’t get help. With your support, we’re able to welcome new clients and offer care at a price they can manage.

Every contribution makes a real difference—helping us continue this good and meaningful work, one person at a time.

Fear can show up in many ways—feeling cautious, weak, scared, anxious, nervous, or worried. These emotions remind you that you care about safety, connection, and that you accept challenges that make you uncomfortable.

At the Counseling Center, we help you explore these feelings with compassion—learning how to face fear without letting it control you. You don’t have to manage it alone. 💛
