workplace
Working with others is often the hardest part of the work! We enhance systems through optimizing communication and connection. Let us help strengthen your teams, increase awareness for what motivates each of us, and model effective dialogue to maximize satisfaction.
With today’s focus on health, wellness, balance and self-care, bringing space and intention to one’s work place to address those priorities is an invaluable benefit to any team. Why have an employee feel the strain of wanting to attend a school talk to learn more about their child’s development, but not wanting to compromise their work duties. Or spend their weekend and evening time attending lectures on communication or positive parenting when they could get that information on-site! We will come to your office when it works best for your community to deliver lectures or small group workshops on relevant content to your employees.
Family
Feeling stuck? We specialize in short-term interventions that jump start rebuilding personal and family health from the inside out. We will come directly to your home or provide a video link to spend time with each member of the system - child, parent, sibling, the school (as needed) - to develop and implement your unique plan.
For families already in a therapeutic relationship, the process may feel like a secret mystery. We are here to help families support their child’s therapeutic process, provide tools for discussion and information on a range of styles and treatments, and ensure that all necessary people in a system are involved in the most effective ways. Yes, a therapeutic relationship works best when confidentiality is honored. And, there are ways that parents can feel more engaged in the process to help support the work.
Small group Workshops and Living Room Salons are a great way to get a group of families together to learn about their teens. “Communication: What You Say and What They Hear,” “Is This Normal? The Brain & Body in Adolescent Development,” “What’s Next: How Do I Know What’s Right and How Do I Get There?,” “Drugs & Alcohol: What to Know and How to Talk About It” or “Staying Connected While Letting Go: College Readiness” are just a few of the many topics we address to help support parents and teens in today’s world.
Education
Teens spend the majority of the day outside the home. We are here to focus the care and support to navigate the schooling process, system, and impact on family dynamics. Through extensive experience in independent schools, we are here to help clarify your needs, form your team and resources, and how to communicate most effectively.
Feeling unclear or uncertain about the process of applying and choosing an independent school or college? We create helpful frameworks, rooted in acceptance and opportunity, to help humanize the process and remove the additional layers of emotional stress.
We are also available for consulting with and in schools, to help augment existing wellness offerings for students, faculty, parents, and Board members and to review and optimize existing systems.
“Annie is kind, empathetic and incredibly insightful. I was a frequent attendee at her parent education sessions and always left with a better understanding of the challenges teens navigate as they grow-up, as well as common sense strategies for helping to support my daughters. Annie’s sessions are relevant, interactive and always educational.
