…For Less Than the Price of a Single Therapy Session!!

Check out the short video below to learn more!

I teamed up with my 23-year-old daughter Daisy to create a fast and friendly curriculum to support parents in the many challenges they face parenting a teen with anxiety. Combining education with actionable skills, you will learn:

• More about what’s going on to create the sharp rise in teen anxiety

• Ways to position yourself as a useful and informed support and ally, so your teen identifies you as a resource

• What emotional regulation and emotional co-regulation are, and how you can be the best co-regulator possible

• How to use the “reframe” technique to change the way you and your teen regard and respond to anxiety – which leads to a “rewiring” of the anxiety response  

• How to work with a teen’s avoidance response, because avoidance – while understandable – becomes a problematic coping response that actually makes anxiety worse

• How to use grounding techniques that activate a calming state in the nervous system, to soothe anxiety and rewire the anxious brain  

• How to be the guardian of your teen’s healthy academic mindset, because academic stress is a leading cause of anxiety among teens

Because integrating and modeling information is the best way to teach it, parents will find themselves feeling calmer too!

Here are just a few of the countless life changing testimonials:

“I cannot begin to describe what Lucie has done for me; I would go so far as to say she saved my life. Her compassion, kindness, and therapeutic genius pulled me from the depths of depression into a life in which I feel free, happy, and able to control my emotions.”

“Dr. Lucie Hemmen has a gift for working with teens.  We began consulting with her when our children were young adolescents, and she provided excellent advice. I am not given to hyperbole, but I must say that Lucie’s support and wisdom were invaluable.”

“When I was in crisis, I always got the feeling she did everything in her power to accommodate me and care for me.  She wanted to hear my goals for therapy and tracked them throughout making sure I was getting what I wanted. I feel great and grateful and would recommend Lucie as the go-to psychologist for anyone wanting help.”

“Julie from the The Steve Harvey Show in Chicago called me in California: ‘We’re looking for a national expert on teen girls and it looks like that’s you, Dr. Lucie. You would be our guest psychologist and interact with teen girls and their mothers.’ Can you fly to NBC in Chicago tomorrow to tape a segment on an upcoming show entitled ‘Is Fourteen is the New Eighteen?’? Needless to say, I flew!”
