We heard this quote on a podcast this morning...“Stop wandering about! Get busy with life's purpose, toss aside empty hopes, get active in your own rescue-if you care for yourself at all-and do it while you can.”

Believe it or not, this was said by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor almost 2,000 years ago. But Marcus' wisdom is perfect for us today in 2026...we have ONE life.

If you are struggling with something, don't let it consume you. Don't be the prey to your anxiety. Be the predator...go after what is troubling you and make changes.

Our staff is here and ready for you and your family, ages 2-99, to help with your emotional, physical, social, academic and mental health.

Reach out anytime. https://sensorysteppingstones.com/

Did you know a well-known psychological study found that, on certain anxiety tests, average students in recent decades reported higher anxiety levels than psychiatric patients did in the 1950s.

This statistic is often repeated in the news, but it’s important to understand what it really means.

It does NOT mean that most people today are mentally ill. What it does suggest is that anxiety has increased significantly over the past several decades.

Researchers believe several factors may contribute to this rise:
• Increased social and academic pressure
• Constant exposure to news and social media
• Greater uncertainty about the future
• Less time for rest, connection, and balance

The positive side?
Today we also have more awareness, better treatments, and less stigma around mental health than ever before.

At Sensory Stepping Stones, we believe that seeking support is a sign of strength. If anxiety or stress has been weighing on you, you’re not alone. We are here to help.

Reach out anytime to learn how therapy can support your mental wellness. Our staff is here for you.

Melissa, Jen and Alicia all met 7 years ago on a blustery March Day at an amazing local event, Mom University, and the rest is history! Alicia began to bring her son down to Westchester, where our clinic was originally located at the time and when she began seeing life changing results, she started telling everyone on The Mommy Dash about the work that we do, and soon enough Jen’s kids were in our office as well and the rest is history.

Now that our clinic is in East Fishkill, we are all minutes away and the collaboration and community we have built together is priceless.

Last year these two celebrated their win of BEST Social Media Influencers and BEST Local Podcast, as we celebrated BEST Therapist at the Hudson Valley Magazine Best Of party! This year social media influencers and therapists were not included as categories but podcast is, and they have made it into the final voting round! Melissa has been a guest on Coffee Confessions many times and is a current sponsor of their upcoming 5K! If you’d like the link for either, just comment or DM :)

Would you please take a moment and vote for Coffee Confessions with the Mommy Dash under Arts and Culture >Local Podcast? Be sure to vote for 5 categories total to make your submission count!

At Sensory Stepping Stones we offer two types of FREE Consultations. The first is a zoom call where we can discuss the issues and concerns that you are experiencing with your child/teen or in yourself. The second is an in person, face to face in our clinic. In both consults we are able to examine the possible solutions and steps that can be taken at home, school and work to elevate the issues and concerns that are arising. We also discuss the alternative and unique approaches that we have at Sensory Stepping Stones to help as well.
