If school re-entry feels rough right now, take a breath.

What you’re seeing isn’t defiance — it’s adjustment.

Breaks disrupt sleep, expectations, and emotional rhythms, so it makes sense that kids need time to settle back in.

The goal isn’t a perfect morning.
It’s helping their nervous system feel safe enough to re-engage.

Start small.
Stay consistent.
And give it a little time.

You’re not behind — you’re right where transition usually begins.

And if your child needs a little extra support during this transition, we’re here to help and currently have immediate openings. https://thinkingtreepsychology.com/get-started

Every January comes with a lot of noise about becoming better, faster, and more together.

But many young adults are starting this year feeling worn down, unsure, or still catching their breath from everything last year carried.

That does not mean you are doing something wrong.
It means your nervous system might be asking for rest before growth.

You are allowed to move slowly.
You are allowed to not have a clear plan yet.
You are allowed to take up space exactly as you are.

Read this again without trying to fix yourself.

And if you want support while you figure things out, therapy can be a steady place to land. January openings are available when you are ready. https://thinkingtreepsychology.com/get-started

Winter lowers energy and motivation in very real ways. That does not mean something is wrong with you. It means your brain needs more support.

Behavioral activation works best when it is small and consistent. One gentle habit done daily does more for mood than a perfect routine done once.

Pick one from the slides. Not all. Stay with it for a week and notice how your mornings feel.

If winter mornings have been especially hard, therapy can help you build rhythms that support your mood instead of fighting it. January is a powerful time to begin.

Back-to-school struggles after a break are normal, even if it feels sudden or frustrating.

Kids aren’t lazy or defiant—they’re recalibrating.
Sleep, routine, and emotional rhythm all get disrupted over holidays.

The key? Give time, structure, and gentle guidance.
Understanding the “why” reduces your guilt and their shame.

If things don’t smooth out after a few weeks, consider getting clarity to support your child’s growth. Let's chat about Psychoeducational testing and how it can help: https://thinkingtreepsychology.com/evaluations

January often rushes us into goals and pressure before we even check in with ourselves.

This reset is not about productivity. It is about awareness. When you slow down and notice how you actually feel, your nervous system softens and clarity follows.

If one of these questions stirred something in you, that matters.

Pause on slide five. Sit with it for ten seconds. That answer is worth listening to.

If you want support making sense of what comes up, therapy openings are available and January is a powerful time to start.

Shorter days can leave even the most motivated teens feeling drained.

This isn’t laziness, it’s biology, and noticing it helps you respond. Getting a little sunlight, moving your body, and keeping simple routines can make a bigger difference than you might expect.

Need help creating routines with your teens? We have immediate openings: https://thinkingtreepsychology.com/teen-therapy

Therapy isn’t just for venting or talking through feelings.

It’s where your teen or child can learn skills to handle stress, manage emotions, and build confidence, and these are tools they can use every single day.

Starting therapy now gives them a toolkit that lasts a lifetime.

🛠️ If you want your child to feel stronger, calmer, and more capable, therapy openings are available today: https://thinkingtreepsychology.com/get-started

Social pressure hits teens in ways adults never had to navigate because they’re surrounded by endless highlight reels, constant metrics, and invisible comparisons.

A lot of their stress isn’t about the real world, and it’s not their fault. It comes from the world they’re measuring themselves against.

If your teen is feeling low, overwhelmed, or stuck in comparison loops, therapy can help them rebuild confidence and feel grounded again. https://thinkingtreepsychology.com/teen-therapy

When you name your child’s emotion, you give their brain language — and language helps regulate the storm.

Start small. One feeling. One moment. One breath at a time.

Our goal with testing isn’t just data or scores.
It’s understanding — for students who want to know how their brain works, and for parents who want to know how to help.



When you understand a child’s learning profile, you don’t just see the struggle…
you see the path forward.

Clarity builds confidence.
Confidence builds growth.

✨ Testing appointments are open now. https://thinkingtreepsychology.com/evaluations

Let’s help your child thrive with understanding, not uncertainty.

12/26/2025

Not all growth is loud.

Sometimes it’s the tiny choice to pause instead of react.
The quiet decision to rest.
The private moment you try again, even when no one’s watching.

These moments count too — maybe even more than the big ones.

🌿 This week, notice your small, quiet wins. They’re shaping you in ways you can’t yet see.

Thinking Tree Psychology

Our mission is to support healthy growth and development in children, adolescents and young adults.

THINK. Through individual and family therapy, young people can learn strategies to take control of their thinking, conquer their challenges and improve their lives. Our psychologists provide a safe place where young people can feel heard and discuss their thoughts and emotions.

CHANGE. Parents and young people alike can explore resources and learn techniques to promote healthy behavior change. Our psychologists foster cooperative collaboration with parents, caregivers, teachers, and physicians to achieve treatment goals.

GROW. Comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations are available to help young people reach their full potential in the academic setting. Our psychologists guide young people on the path to healthy thinking and behavior so they may grow into confident and independent adults.
