Ever wonder what executive functioning actually is Ever wonder what executive functioning actually is?? You’re not alone. Executive functioning is basically your brains project manager— sometimes crushing it, sometimes mysteriously on a coffee break. These “super powers” outline all the different skills that make up executive functioning, which one are you a pro at vs which one is your kryptonite?? EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING SUPER POWERS: - Planning 🗓 (…when your plan is to make a plan)- Organization 📦 (aka “strategically stacking piles”)- Emotion regulation 😌 (deep breaths… or loudly sighing into the void)- Working memory 🧠 (wait, what were we talking about?)- Focus & attention 👀 (unless there’s a squirrel… or TikTok)- Time management ⏳ (“I’ll start at 8:00… okay 8:15… okay tomorrow…”)- Self monitoring 🪞 (“Why am I in the fridge right now?”)- Task initiation 🚀 (the hardest part is… starting… and also finishing)#ExecutiveFunctioning #MentalHealthHumor #TherapyLife #ADHDHumor #OrganizationStruggles #WorkingMemory #FocusAndAttention #TimeManagement #TaskInitiation #backtoshool
It’s back to school time in Atlanta! The perfect It’s back to school time in Atlanta! The perfect time to talk about one of our favorite topics. What is executive function? Basically, it’s the mental CEO your kid wishes they had—helping with things like starting homework without a meltdown, remembering the backpack and the lunchbox, and keeping track of assignments that aren’t due “for like, a whole week.”If your child struggles with focus, organization, time management, or emotional regulation, it’s not about effort—it’s about skills that can be built with support.School starts next week. If you’re already bracing yourself for forgotten folders, morning chaos, and homework battles, executive function coaching might be exactly what your family needs.Let’s get ahead of it—DM us to learn more.Hashtags:#ExecutiveFunction #BackToSchoolStruggles #ParentingSupport #ADHDParenting #ExecutiveFunctionCoaching #TherapyForKids #TherapyForTeens #AcademicSkills #AtlantaTherapist #MomLife #SchoolSuccess #BackToSchool2025

Here are some of the skills I used with my own anx Here are some of the skills I used with my own anxious daughter last week before her 4th of July Parade at Camp! I recorded this before the parade and didn’t know how it would go (honestly I wanted to skip it myself because she seems to do better without me there.... Anyone else relate to that?!) but she did great! It ended up being my 2 year old (pictured here) who had the mid-parade meltdown, but that’s life! If you are a parent of an anxious kiddo, know you aren’t alone and I hope something from this experience can be helpful to you too! - Ashlyn, ACC Clinical Director#AnxiousChild #ChildAnxiety#ParentingAnAnxiousChild #AnxietySupport #RegulateEmotions #EmotionalRegulation#HelpingKidsCope #TherapistTips #ChildTherapist#ParentingTips #GentleParenting#ConsciousParenting #PositiveParenting #ParentingHelp #MentalHealthAwareness#ChildMentalHealth #ParentCoach #TherapistReel#ParentingAdvice #ReelTherapy#InstagramTherapist #TherapistOnInstagram#TherapyReels #ReelsForParents
Does this sound familiar? Summer sneaks up on you Does this sound familiar? Summer sneaks up on you or your child, there is talk about a job or internship or trips or camp but at the end of the day, nothing materializes. Each day is a battle to get them out of bed, to move their body, and in the end, summer is spent staring into a screen. If your adolescent or young adult is struggling with structure for this summer, we are excited to announce our Summer Structure Lab! A weekly group that meets to discuss structure options, create a plan for the summer and provide accountability week to week. This is a great oppourtunity for the parents to be able to step out of the role of enforcer and allow adolescents and young adults to take charge, with appropriate support for success. If your child needs help learning appropriate life skills for college, needs help brainstorming ideas, or just accountability around action steps, thats what this group is for! Check out our latest blog post on the impact of structure on mental health and to learn more about our summer lab

Starting off this year by reading UnSelfie by Dr. Starting off this year by reading UnSelfie by Dr. Michele Borba. She addresses why empathetic kids succeed in our “All-About-Me” world. She introduces a simple idea that will transform our lives: that empathy—rather than being a nice “add-on” is in fact integral to kids’ current and future success, happiness, and well-being. And empathy is a quality that can be taught—in fact, it’s a quality that must be taught. How do you practice empathy yourself or teach it to those around you? ....#positivity #empathy #mindfulness #success #mindset #health #happy
