While most people are excited for the end of the school year, especially children, it can be a stressful time for some as there are end of the year exams, final projects, and preparing for the following school year. Here at Finding Hope Wellness Center, we have skilled providers who can assist you or your child through counseling services and psychological testing!
Counseling can help one learn how to overcome a variety of obstacles. Students can experience anxiety as the school year comes to an end as they may worry about topics such as academic pressure and feeling the need to pass their classes, transitioning to a new school or class the following year, social concerns, and more. Even parents may feel anxious as their child moves onto the next grade and phase in their lives. All of our providers specialize in working with individuals who experience anxiety and stress. We can teach you different techniques to help manage these anxious feelings and thoughts through ways such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), practicing mindfulness techniques, aid in developing healthy lifestyles and self-care plans, and more!
End of the school year also means it might be time to have an updated psychological or psychoeducational evaluation for your child, especially if they have a 504 Plan or Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The IEP and 504 Plans are required to be updated periodically in the state of Florida. This is to ensure that the student still requires interventions or accommodations in an educational setting. The interventions and accommodations may be changed or updated to better fit the students needs, especially as they continue to grow and transition into higher grade levels and even college. If your child does not have a 504 Plan or IEP, completing a psychoeducational evaluation can assist in examining if your child meets criteria for one. Our clinical psychologists are dedicated to utilizing evidenced-based practices to best determine what interventions or accommodations your child may benefit from.
