For adolescents with social anxiety the pandemic could be described as, for lack of a better word, a rollercoaster.  As a child and family therapist, I have had an up close look at the many peaks and valleys.

With higher levels of individual stress and anxiety combined with increased time at home, it’s no wonder many couples are finding their relationship under strain.

While the holidays are a wonderful time to visit family, celebrate, and enjoy time together, they can also present a challenge when you have a child who is dependent on routine and predictability.

I often write about helping kids cope with anxiety or recognizing anxiety in children, but what about when parents are dealing with anxiety themselves?

Anxiety is one of the most common reasons parents bring their children to see a therapist. Parents often wonder what they can do to help their child and feel at a loss as to how to address the anxiety.

It’s that time of year again – back to school! The start of a new school year can be overwhelming for teachers, parents, and children alike. For new kindergarten students, school can be especially anxiety-producing.

I see a lot of anxious children in my practice. Often their parents did not immediately recognize their children’s anxiety or did not realize how much it was affecting them.
