THERAPIST SPOTLIGHT! Meet Alex an associate marriage and family therapist at HOPE Counseling!
HOPE: What do you want to offer your clients?
ALEX: I want to offer a safe space to feel seen and heard. I love working with folks of all ages, but am particularly passionate about the LGBTQIA community.
HOPE: Can you give one tip for those that may be struggling? Struggling with excessive worrying?
ALEX: Give yourself a dedicated 15 minute "worry time" each day. As worries come up throughout your day, keep track of them on a piece of paper or your phone. Then when your "worry time" for the day comes, revisit your list of items. Allow yourself to process through your list. You might be surprised at how many things listed you couldn't remember or are "not a big deal" anymore. Set a timer if you want to ensure you don't go over the time you've alotted.
HOPE: Where and how are you available to clients?
ALEX: I'm available in Sacramento and via telehealth. I'd love to chat with you briefly to see if we'd be a fit! I believe we really care about people at HOPE, and I am so glad you are considering visiting us. You can reach me at alexthompson@hope-counselingcenter.org

A Mighty Girl Pick of the Day: "What to Do When the News Scares You: A Kid's Guide to Understanding Current Events." Whether from TV news reports, the car radio, social media, or discussions by adults or their peers, children are often bombarded with information about the world around them. And even when the adults in their life try to shelter them from frightening news, kids are often exposed to far more of it than parents may realize. With many of the leading news stories focused on disturbing or scary events such as mass shootings, wars, extreme weather events, disease outbreaks, or more dispersed threats such as climate change, children can become frightened and overwhelmed.

Fortunately, parents can help kids put scary events into perspective and learn how to understand and process the messages they hear with the help of this new addition to the bestselling What-To-Do series. It will also help kids become more informed consumers of media by introducing them to media techniques such as reporters' efforts to add excitement to stories which may also make threats seem more imminent and extreme. And if kids start to worry or become anxious about things they've heard, the guide shares tips on how kids can feel calmer and more in control. Hands-on and interactive, it encourages kids to respond to what they are learning by writing down their thoughts or drawing pictures in guided activity sections. This new guide is an invaluable resource for kids growing up in a world that can often feel awash in upsetting news. Highly recommended for ages 6 to 12.

"What to Do When the News Scares You" is available at https://www.amightygirl.com/what-to-do-news-scares-you

For parents and educators, there's an excellent guide filled with conversation scripts and tips on helping kids feel calm in an anxious world, "When the World Feels Like a Scary Place" at https://www.amightygirl.com/world-scary-place
