Emily, an 11-year-old, came to us feeling anxious about starting middle school after experiencing bullying and negative peer interactions in elementary school. Through individual therapy and parent sessions, we focused on building her self-esteem, coping strategies, and strengthening resilience. We also worked closely with the school, advocating for a supportive environment and proactive measures to address peer challenges. With this support in place, Emily adjusted well to middle school, forming positive friendships and excelling both socially and academically.
