When someone you care about is struggling with a mental illness, it’s normal to feel helpless, confused, or even afraid of saying the wrong thing. Many families ask us, “What can I really do to help?”
Summer break is an exciting time for kids and families. It offers space to relax, explore new interests, and build meaningful memories together. But without routine, many children can feel bored, disconnected, anxious, or overstimulated.
Divorce is never easy, especially for children. While adults may understand why a relationship ends, kids often feel confused, scared, angry, or even responsible for the separation. Learning how to support your child emotionally during and after a divorce can make a lifelong difference in their mental health and relationships.
Considering therapy but unsure whether it is right for you? Misconceptions about mental health care can make it difficult to take the first step. You may wonder whether you should handle problems on your own, whether therapy is only for serious mental health conditions, or whether your personal information will remain private.
Every teacher has that student. The one who seems to find conflict in every interaction, who pushes back on every instruction, who ends up in the principal’s office more than the classroom. Every parent of that child carries a weight that’s hard to describe, the calls from school, the conferences, the sense that something is wrong but no one quite knows what to do about it.
MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY PRACTICE PROVIDES FREE TRAINING TO HUNDREDS OF PARENTS & EDUCATORS (St. Louis, Missouri): Dr. Lena Pearlman and her husband Dr. Bryan Pearlman have spent the majority of 2016 traveling to schools, district offices, and community meeting spaces to help educate and train parents and educators about mental health related issues that impact school age children and teens.
Everyone wants to feel happier, calmer, and more balanced, especially with today’s busy schedules and daily stress. The good news? Small, consistent habits can make a big difference in your mood and overall mental health.
Today’s educators are seeing more students affected by trauma than ever before. From community violence and family disruption to bullying and unexpected loss, trauma can deeply impact how children think, behave, and learn in the classroom.
Dr. Lena Pearlman & Associates, a well-established St. Louis therapy practice, is excited to announce another phase of growth as it continues serving individuals, couples, and families throughout St. Louis County, Missouri. Known for its compassionate, evidence-based approach to mental health care, the practice has become a trusted resource for the local community.
Finding the right mental health therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or emotional burnout. In St. Louis, there are many counseling options, but not every therapist will be the right fit for your personal needs.
