This 6-week group is all about helping middle and high school girls feel more confident, handle stress better, and deal with tricky social situations. Each week, we’ll dive into topics like self-esteem, peer pressure, and emotional ups and downs—using proven tools from therapy approaches like CBT and ACT (don’t worry, we keep it simple and relatable!).
Through fun activities, honest conversations, and a safe space to share, girls will learn how to quiet negative self-talk, speak up for themselves, set healthy boundaries, and bounce back from rejection. The goal? To help each participant feel stronger, more connected, and ready to lead with confidence—just by being themselves.

Common workshop topics
ATTENTION & EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
Executive functioning (EF) skills are the mental processes necessary for us to pay attention, remember directions, plan out and prepare for projects, and multi-task. The Executive Functioning Skill-Building Workshop will work on building your child’s executive functioning skills to help them thrive in the classroom setting. We use research-based practices to provide high-quality support to elementary, middle, and high school students. Executive Functioning support can be useful for clients with ADHD, anxiety, or even when adjusting to everyday demands of school. This skill builder workshop can also be useful to those in college.
MANAGING STRESS & ANXIETY
Anxiety is a normal reaction for scary or stressful situations. Anxiety helps us make sure that we are adequately prepared for a job interview or an important test. However, for some children high amounts of anxiety occur in situations when it is not helpful. This can lead to frustrating arguments, tears, and increased stress for both the child and the parents. The Anxiety Skill-Building Workshop will work on reducing your child’s anxiety and increasing their coping skills to help them thrive in the classroom setting. We use research-based practices to provide high-quality support to elementary and middle school students.
SOCIAL SKILLS
Social skills are vital to our everyday functioning in society. Social skills allow us to recognize when someone is angry, or can help us make a new friend. Everything from buying milk, to answering the telephone, to working on a group science project requires social skills. Our workshop focuses on teaching children and adolescents how to read social situations, as well as teaching the appropriate behavior to use in social situations. We use research-based interventions and strategies to help children gain social skills.
ACADEMIC SKILL IMPROVEMENT
- Mathematics
- Did you know that math skills are particularly at risk for decline over the summer months? Changes in technology mean that math skills are more important than ever for our students. We can help you develop your child’s skills in number sense, math computation, story problems, and math fluency.
- Reading
- Reading is one of the most vital skills a student needs in order to be successful in school! When a student falls behind in reading, it can affect their skills in other subjects as well. We utilize proven strategies to help develop your child’s early literacy skills, reading fluency, sight-word vocabulary, decoding skills, and reading comprehension skills.
- Writing
- We use evidence-based strategies to help your child develop their written language skills, which is the most complex academic task. We can grow your child’s ability to develop ideas, organize content, use capitalization, punctuation and grammar.
- Study Skills
- Why doesn’t anyone ever teach kids how to study?!? We do! It doesn’t have to be a nebulous, mysterious process! We will teach your child how to effectively & efficiently study for tests & quizzes so they are prepared and feel confident (and so will you as a parent).
