Back-to-school anxiety doesn’t always look like worry. It might look like stomachaches, irritability, perfectionism, or suddenly not wanting to go to school. Our team of Austin Therapy for Girls therapists shares practical advice to help parents better understand what their daughters may be experiencing—and how to respond with confidence and compassion. Read the full blog below.
Whether it’s Rush Work Week, your first Monday back, or the start of a brand-new school year… 🌻 Just breathe. Before the schedules, expectations, decisions, new faces, and all the “what ifs” take over, give yourself a second. Breathe in calm. Breathe out pressure. Breathe in what you can control. Let go of what you can’t. 💛 You don’t have to figure out the whole week today. One breath. One moment. One step at a time.

Middle school is a big transition. For many girls, it’s exciting… and a little scary. New friendships. New expectations. Wondering where you’ll fit in. That’s exactly why we created Glow Girl Camp—a place where incoming 6th graders can practice the social and emotional skills that make the transition feel a little less overwhelming. Tomorrow isn’t about being perfect. It’s about discovering that everyone else is a little nervous too… and learning that courage grows through connection. 💛 We can’t wait to meet our newest Glow Girls tomorrow! #GlowGirlCamp #MiddleSchoolTransition #therapyforgirls #backtoschool
