Join psychologist Dr. Ginny Ritchey for this guided weekly group that will focus on the hidden and often misunderstood challenges that families experience with highly sensitive and anxious children. During each 75-minute session, you will have the opportunity to share your own experiences with, as well as learn from, other parents going through similar challenges. You will also have the opportunity to learn about:

• How anxiety is expressed in children;
• Cognitive, neurological, and evolutionary models of anxiety;
• How to compassionately set boundaries and limits;
• How to identify and manage your own triggers;
• The do's and don'ts of parenting anxiety;
• Top down and bottom up strategies to manage your child's anxiety;
• Additional topics or questions that emerge during parent discussions. 

Total cost for the group (6 sessions) is $550 if paid after Feb. 10. Discussion groups can be a good alternative to receive the support of a licensed professional without the full price of individual appointments. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required. Price includes your spouse or parenting partner discussing the same children. Must be a resident of California.
