Anxiety Group for Tween Girls, Huntington, NY
You're Starting to Worry… And Not Just a Little
Your daughter has always been the one to worry. Maybe as a child she was called “shy,” or “a worrier,” maybe, she clung to you, not wanting to let you leave until she was positive everything was perfect. And for a while, it seemed like something she would outgrow.
But lately, her anxiety feels bigger.
Now she overthinks just about everything. School feels overwhelming. Small tasks feel huge. She worries about tests, friendships, health, mistakes, the future, and things most people would never think twice about. Maybe she avoids going out, and doing things at school and comes up with every excuse under the sun. She asks for reassurance constantly, avoids situations that feel stressful, and seems stuck in a cycle of fear and frustration.
You’ve tried to help. You’ve explained, reassured, encouraged, and let’s be honest, sometimes begged her to just relax!
But nothing seems to help!
She may hold it together all day at school, then come home emotionally drained and completely falls apart. Tears, irritability, shutdowns, panic, anger, exhaustion.
And now you’re lying awake wondering:
-
How is she going to handle middle school, high school, or college?
-
Why does everything feel so hard for her?
-
Will she always struggle like this?
-
How do I help without making it worse?
-
Why does anxiety seem to be running our whole family right now?
You feel helpless. She feels overwhelmed. And your home feels stuck in the cycle of anxiety.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.
I specialize in helping anxious girls and teens in Huntington, NY and across Long Island learn how to manage anxiety, build confidence, and stop fear from controlling their lives.
You do not have to keep figuring this out alone!
Sometimes the strongest step forward is saying:
We need support!
Now imagine this...
You meet me, a therapist who gets it. Not just the “let’s talk about your feelings” kind of therapy (though hey, emotions matters too!).
I offer something more: a structured, interactive, skill-building group for girls who are quietly struggling with anxiety.
Yes, we’ll talk, but your daughter will also do things that scare her. Because here’s the truth: she doesn’t just need “coping strategies” or affirmations taped to her mirror.
She needs to understand what’s going on in that bright, brilliant brain of hers and how anxiety has been tricking her into staying small.
Sure, avoidance might feel safe, but it’s actually keeping her stuck. And spoiler alert: Avoidance doesn’t work. It never will!
What does work? Learning to face fears, step by step, with support, safety, and strategy.
This is what I’ve seen girls in these groups do:
-
Order their own meals (without whispering it to Mom first).
-
Speak up in class, and get the answer wrong and still survive!
-
Join clubs… and even start their own
-
Make lasting friendships
-
Say yes to opportunities instead of freezing in fear
And while she’s thriving, you finally exhale.
Because you’re no longer trying to fix it all on your own. Not only that, I provide you with tons of information on how YOU (as her parent) can help when she's spiraling!
So, how do we get there? Here's what your daughter will experience:
-
She will meet girls who totally understand her and finally feels like she’s not the only one.
-
Clarity: She learns what anxiety really is and how it’s been holding her back.
-
Mind-Body Skills: She tunes into her body’s signals and learns how to calm the storm.
-
Practical Tools: She practices skills in a group where everyone’s learning together.
-
Confidence: She builds courage and starts doing the things that once felt impossible.
-
Momentum: She sets goals and then crushes them. One brave step at a time.
-
Community: She celebrates her growth with others who’ve cheered her on all the way.
This group isn’t about “fixing” your daughter.
It’s about helping her remember who she is; strong, smart, and full of potential. She just needs the tools, the support, and the space to come back to herself. She’s not alone. And neither are you!
Let’s help her step out of her shell…one courageous moment at a time. Ready to take the first step?
