Something we are genuinely excited to share. 🌟

Introducing the 𝗧𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 + 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗕𝗧 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 — a six-week program where parents and tweens learn DBT skills side by side, in a structured, supportive environment.

This isn't talk therapy. It's real skills, practiced together, taken home and used in real life.

And here's what makes it different: parents attend every single session. Because the families who build skills together are the ones who use them together — and that changes everything.

📅 Dates: Mondays, April 20 - June 1 (6 weeks | Memorial Day week excluded)

🕐 Time: 5:30 – 7:00 PM

📍 Location: CCFC Woodlands Office

👥 Format: Parent and child attend together

$130 per parent/child dyad | $35 one-time supply fee

𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝘆!

DBT TIPP SKILL for Teens

When stress spikes suddenly — before the thinking brain can catch up — your teen's body needs a physiological reset first. That's exactly what the DBT TIPP skill is designed for. 🌿

Share this with your teen — or better yet, learn it together:

𝗧 — Temperature: splash cold water on your face or hold ice for 30 seconds
𝗜 — Intense Exercise: 60 seconds of movement burns off stress hormones
𝗣 — Paced Breathing: inhale 4 counts, exhale 6–8
𝗣 — Progressive Relaxation: tense and release from toes to shoulders

One step is enough to interrupt the cycle. 💙

Small skills, practiced often, build real resilience. Save this for the next hard moment. 🌿

April is Stress Awareness Month — and stressed teens don't always look stressed. 💙

What teen stress actually looks like: → Sleeping way more than usual → Irritability that seems out of proportion → Withdrawing from family and friends → Physical complaints with no medical cause → Losing interest in things they used to love

What looks like attitude is often overwhelm. What looks like laziness is often depletion.

Knowing the difference changes everything. 🌿

Save this and share it with a parent who needs to see it today.

💛The DEAR MAN Skill 💛

A simple DBT tool for asking for what you need — and actually being heard.

Most of us were never taught how to communicate in a way that feels calm, clear, and confident. This skill changes that. It works in partnerships, with your kids, at work — anywhere a hard conversation lives.

Try it the next time you feel stuck or unheard:

1️⃣ D — Describe. Stick to the facts. No blame, no story.

2️⃣ E — Express. Name the feeling behind the words.

3️⃣ A — Assert. Ask for what you need. Directly.

4️⃣ R — Reinforce. Explain why it matters to you.

5️⃣ M — Mindful. Stay on topic. Old arguments can wait.

6️⃣ A — Appear Confident. Tone carries more than you think.

7️⃣ N — Negotiate. Be willing to find the middle ground.

Start with something low-stakes. The habit you build in easy moments is the one that shows up when it really counts. 🌿

Does your teen struggle with how they see themselves? 💛

Body image challenges in teens are more common than most parents realize — and they go far deeper than just appearance. They show up as anxiety around food, avoiding social situations, negative self-talk, and a constant feeling of not being enough.

As a parent, it can feel helpless to watch. But there is something that genuinely helps.

Our therapists work with teens to:

✨ Build a healthier relationship with their body and self-image
✨ Manage the emotions that drive negative self-talk
✨ Develop self-worth that isn't tied to appearance
✨ Navigate peer pressure and social comparison
✨ Find balance between accepting themselves and growing

This National Nutrition Month, we're reminding parents and teens alike — nourishment isn't just about food. It's about how your teen feels in their own skin every single day.

Your teen deserves to feel at home in their body. And we can help.

👉 Call us today or book a free 10-minute consultation— because every teen deserves to feel good enough, exactly as they are. 💛

💛The Body Gratitude Reframe 💛

This is a simple DBT-informed exercise you can introduce to your teen — or try yourself. It takes about five minutes and works best as a journaling prompt or dinner-table conversation starter.

Instead of asking: "What does my body look like?"

Try asking: "What did my body do for me today?"

Explore these prompts:

1️⃣ What is one thing your body allowed you to do today that you're grateful for?
2️⃣ What is one physical sensation you noticed today that felt good — however small?
3️⃣ If your body could tell you what it needs right now, what would it say?

This isn't toxic positivity — it's redirection. It trains the brain to experience the body as an ally rather than an obstacle.

Try it for a week and notice what shifts. It's a small practice with surprisingly meaningful results. 🌿
