What are the benefits of Girl's Empowerment? Through this psychoeducational group your daughter can learn the skills necessary to deal with peer pressure, girl drama, bullying and cyberbullying. She will be given opportunities to practice better coping skills, tools to handle anxiety, anger, and stress better. She may develop a better sense of self and increased self-esteem.

I am also running social skills groups
Update: There are 4 seats available in the boy's 7-9-year-old group.

There is one seat available in the 10-12-year-old group.
Boys ages 7-9 10-12
Girls ages 7-9 10-12
These groups will give children the opportunity to learn and practice better communication skills, verbal and non-verbal, emotional regulation/anger management, making friends, dealing with bullying, cyberbullying, coping with middle school issues, and social media. Appropriate for children with adhd, mild-moderate ASD, and typically developing kids who need help with any of the above skills.

All Groups meet 1x week. You must commit to the entire 8-12 week session. Payment can be made in a one-time payment for a discounted rate. Or they can be made weekly prior to the weekly group meeting.

My new location is up and running. Still needs a few rugs, some furniture, etc... but I am officially moved into my new office suite.

Grieving for a pet is painful.

Losing a dog can be harder than losing a relative or friend Perhaps if people realized just how strong and intense the bond is between people and their dogs, such grief would become more widely accepted.

Beautiful First-floor offices available for rent in Psychology Practice. The suite is conveniently located on highly sought after Keisler Drive across from Wake Med Cary near Wavery Place. This is an excellent location/setting for mental health professionals. Two offices available can be rented separately or together. One windowed office with beautiful natural light, overlooking a wooded area, has two generous built-in closets. The second office is a spacious interior office with built-in cabinets. This is a quiet private practice with one practitioner. This would be an excellent location for an acupuncturist or Naturopath as well as Mental Health Practitioners. Offices available June 1. Can be rented furnished or unfurnished ($575-$650) Let me know if you have questions or if interested in this sublet.
