Calming Your Inner Tails: Managing Your Worries and Fears With a Sonic Twist; After School

Students will learn more about what anxiety and fear are, as well as learning several different coping techniques that they can use in their own lives in order to reduce anxiety.

Hello all learners and parents!  My name is Mandy and I teach classes designed to help children reduce big emotions such as anger, stress, and anxiety.  I have 17 years of experience using techniques that are research-based and proven to aid in mind/body relaxation.  My goal is to help children learn to cope with and manage emotions through techniques they can use throughout their lives.

My academic background is in Clinical Psychology.  I have both a B.S. and M.S. in Clinical Psychology and have 20 years of experience working with youth.  I have worked in a therapeutic setting since 2004, teaching social skills groups, relaxation exercises, and play therapy sessions.  As a psychometrist, I have extensive experience administering comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and cognitive rehabilitation assessments, including vision therapy and neurofeedback, with children and adolescents.  I have worked with a wide range of diagnoses (ADHD, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, Autism, Dyslexia, behavior disorders, etc.), ages (age 2 to adult), and intellectual levels (severely delayed to gifted). 

No homework!

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
