Homecoming isn't fun for everyone. 💛 While some teens are excited about dresses, dates, pictures and the dance, others may be quietly worrying: • What if nobody asks me? • What if I don't have a group? • What if my friends make plans without me? • What if I hate how I look? • What if I don't know what to do at the dance? • What if everyone else is having more fun than I am? And thanks to social media, teens don't just hear about what they missed anymore—they can watch the pictures, parties and group plans unfold in real time. For parents, it can be tempting to say, “It's just Homecoming!” or “Just go and have fun!” But to a teenager, Homecoming can feel like something much bigger: a very public measure of whether they belong. So if your teen is struggling, try this instead: 💛 “I can understand why that hurts.” 💛 “What part are you most nervous about?” 💛 “Do you want me to listen, or do you want help figuring out what to do?” And remember: A great high school experience doesn't require a picture-perfect Homecoming. Our latest Inspire blog shares more about Homecoming anxiety, FOMO, friendship groups, dating pressure, body image—and how parents can help without trying to fix everything.

How Can I Help?” #Homecoming #HomecomingAnxiety #TeenAnxiety #TeenMentalHealth #ParentingTeens #SocialAnxiety #FOMO #TeenFriendships #BodyImage #InspireCounselingCenter
Could your son be feeling lonely? It's easy to miss. Your teenage son can have friends, teammates, a busy social life—and still feel lonely. 💙 Research shows that boys want close, meaningful friendships just as much as girls do. But as they move through adolescence, many begin receiving messages—spoken and unspoken—that being “strong” means being independent, keeping things to themselves, or not showing too much emotion. And sometimes, loneliness doesn’t look like loneliness. It can look like irritability. Withdrawing to his room. Spending more time on his phone. Losing touch with close friends. Throwing himself into sports or school. Or simply answering, “I’m fine,” when you know something feels off. As parents, we don’t have to force our sons to open up. But we can create an environment where they know it’s safe to. 💙 Ask questions without immediately trying to fix things. 💙 Help him put words to what he’s feeling. 💙 Remind him of the strengths you see in him. 💙 Normalize vulnerability and asking for help. 💙 Encourage friendships where he can truly be himself. Boys shouldn’t have to choose between belonging and being emotionally healthy. Our therapist Langston Myers, ALMFT, is passionate about helping teens and young adults navigate loneliness, friendships, relationships, anxiety, self-esteem, family conflict, and life transitions. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, Langston also helps parents and families better understand and support one another. ✨ Langston is currently accepting new clients at Inspire's Evanston office or virtually.

After School Melt Downs .... what are they all about? Their teacher says they’re PERFECT at school! 😩 Then your child gets home and completely falls apart. The wrong snack = meltdown. Homework = absolutely not. Their sibling breathes too loudly = crisis. You ask, “How was school?” = TOO MANY QUESTIONS. 😵‍💫 Sound familiar? There’s actually a name commonly used for this experience: After-School Restraint Collapse. Think about how much your child may be managing throughout the school day — sitting still, paying attention, following directions, navigating friendships, controlling impulses, handling disappointment, keeping up academically and regulating BIG emotions. By the time they get home, their emotional tank may simply be empty. And here's the part parents sometimes need to hear: 💛 Your child may fall apart with you because home feels safe enough to finally let go. That doesn't mean we ignore disrespectful or unsafe behavior. But understanding what’s underneath the behavior can help us respond differently. After school, try: 🍎 Snack + water first 🤫 Give them a break from questions 🏃 Offer movement OR quiet time ⏰ Build in decompression before homework 💛 Connect before you correct 📋 Keep the after-school routine predictable And instead of only asking: “How do I get my child to stop doing this?” Try getting curious about: “What is taking so much energy for my child to manage all day?”💛 👉 SAVE this for the next difficult after-school afternoon. 👉 SHARE with a fellow parent who has ever wondered, “Why does my kid only do this at home?!” And check out our latest blog for more about after-school meltdowns, emotional regulation, and when your child may need some extra support. #AfterSchoolMeltdown #AfterSchoolRestraintCollapse #ChildAnxiety #EmotionalRegulation #ParentingTips #ChildTherapy #TeenTherapy #ADHDKids #AnxiousKids #NorthShoreParents #ChicagoParents #InspireCounselingCenter #ChildBehavior #ADHDSupport #AnxietyInKids #ParentingSupport #ChildDevelopment #MentalHealthMatters #FamilyWellness
💛 **WELCOME TO INSPIRE, JENNA!** 💛 We’re so excited to welcome **Jenna Szczepanski, MSW** to our Northbrook office! Jenna works with **adolescents, young adults, and adults**, bringing a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. Having experienced the value of therapy herself at a young age, Jenna understands how meaningful it can be to have someone in your corner who listens without judgment, helps you make sense of what you’re feeling, and gives you practical tools to move forward. Jenna especially enjoys helping **teens and young adults** navigate all the things that can make these years feel like A LOT: ✨ Anxiety & Depression ✨ ADHD ✨ School & Academic Stress ✨ Friendships & Relationships ✨ Self-Esteem & Confidence ✨ Family Conflict & Changes ✨ Parents’ Divorce ✨ Social Pressures ✨ Major Life Transitions ✨ Grief & Loss Before joining Inspire, Jenna worked with a nonprofit grief organization, supporting children, teens, adults, and families through **grief, loss, and major life changes**. She understands that grief isn’t only about losing someone we love. Kids and teens can also experience a very real sense of loss through **divorce, changing family dynamics, moving, friendships ending, relationship changes, or other unexpected transitions.** Jenna’s goal is to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are — while building coping skills, confidence, and a greater belief in their ability to handle whatever life brings next. 💛 A Chicagoland native, Jenna grew up in Long Grove and is excited to be back home serving her community. And when she’s not in the therapy room? You’ll likely find her spending time with family and friends, staying active, or walking her Golden Retriever, **Phoebe!** 🐾 ✨ **Now accepting new clients in Northbrook!** Adolescents • Young Adults • Adults Welcome to Inspire, Jenna! We’re so happy you’re here. 💛 #MentalHealth #TherapyForTeens #AdolescentTherapy #YoungAdultSupport #GriefSupport #AnxietyHelp #DepressionAwareness #NorthbrookTherapist #FamilyTherapy #LifeTransitions
