Friendship has been the topic on repeat this week on our pink couches 💕 Here’s the truth no one tells girls early enough: not everyone is supposed to be your best friend. And when we expect that? That’s when the hurt hits harder. We’ve been helping girls: ✨ figure out who belongs in their inner circle ✨ trust how they feel in friendships ✨ stop chasing people who treat them like an option Because friendship isn’t about having more people… it’s about having the right people. If your daughter is navigating friendship drama right now—you’re not alone. We see this every single day 💗 #atfg #pinkchaos #girlworld #tweengirls #momsoftweens friendshipdrama raisinggirls austintherapyforgirls
We hear it every week on the pink couches… “I don’t know what my future looks like.” “What if I mess everything up?” And it’s not just here. Research from Girl Scouts of the USA + SheKnows confirms—girls are feeling scared and overwhelmed about what’s ahead. This is the part no one talks about in Girl World. But we do. #PinkChaos #GirlWorld #TweenAnxiety #austintherapyforgirls
One of our favorite activities to start group off, what do I need to give myself permission to……..not overthink everything say here, to talk more , to listen more? What do you need to give yourself permission for today?
healing looks like blowing bubbles instead of overthinking…
if she’s coming to you, you’re already doing something right 🤍 now just stay there with her (and if you both need a little extra support navigating this season… we’ve got you) #therapyforgirls #motherdaughter #pinkchaos
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. A gentle reminder from our therapist Alma— You deserve to feel safe in your body and in your relationships. If something doesn’t feel right, it matters. You matter. 💛
