Most parents believe their teens are doing just fine, while many teens feel differently. If you’re worried your teen is pulling away or just not talking much, you’re not alone: there’s a big gap between what parents see and how teens really feel.

The best thing we can do is to keep the conversation open and judgment-free. Start with small check-ins, listen more than you talk, and let your teen know you’re there no matter what. Sometimes, just asking "how are you, really?" can mean a lot.

If you or your teen need extra support, The Counseling Place is here to help. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. 💚

Did you know that two out of three children will go through a traumatic event by age 16? Trauma can look different in every child, but here are a few signs parents can gently watch for:

• Sudden changes in mood or behavior
• Trouble sleeping or nightmares
• Clinginess or withdrawal
• Unexplained aches, pains, or tummy troubles
• Loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy

If you notice any of these, you’re not alone: and your support makes a world of difference. If you need guidance, The Counseling Place is here to help.

Sometimes we think, "I'll wait and see if things get worse..." But with our kids' mental health, the best time to reach out is before they’re really struggling.

Early support gives your child the tools to handle big feelings, adjust to changes, and build self-confidence. Starting therapy early can actually prevent problems from getting bigger later on.

If you’ve noticed your child feeling down, anxious, or just not themselves, it’s okay to ask for help now. The small steps you take today can make a huge difference in the future.

We’re here to listen and support your family: every step of the way. Learn more at www.counselinglonetree.com

Let’s break the silence together. If this hits home, reach out( we’re here to help at The Counseling Place.)

Have you heard about body-based therapy approaches? These methods, often called somatic therapies, go beyond traditional talk therapy by tapping into the wisdom of the body. Techniques like mindful movement, breathing exercises, and gentle physical awareness help people process emotions stored in the body, not just the mind. Many find that combining talk therapy with these body-centered practices boosts healing and personal growth. Curious about how this works or if it's a good fit for you? Reach out to The Counseling Place: we're here to guide you every step of the way!

Ever wish therapy could fit seamlessly into your life? Hybrid therapy: mixing in-person sessions with virtual ones: is changing the game! You get the best of both worlds: face-to-face connection when you need it, and the flexibility of online sessions when your schedule’s packed or you want to meet from home.

It’s easier to stay consistent, and you don't have to choose between convenience and comfort. Of course, there are challenges: like making sure your tech works, and feeling fully engaged over video: but hybrid options are helping more people access the support they need! Curious to try it out? The Counseling Place is here to help you make therapy work for YOUR life.
