Mental Health Speaker & Trainings in Leander, Cedar Park & Austin, TX

Some of the most important mental health work doesn't happen in a therapy office. It happens in classrooms, cafeterias, PTA meetings, youth groups, and living rooms, led by the teachers, counselors, coaches, and parents who are there every day.

We bring the same practical, skills-first approach we use in therapy to trainings, workshops, and speaking engagements. That means real strategies your audience can use immediately: teachers get tools they can try Monday morning, parents leave with scripts for tonight's hard conversation, not a lecture on theory.

Every talk is tailored to your audience and setting. Popular requests include:

• Social media safety: what kids are actually doing online, warning signs that matter, and how to set tech boundaries that stick (without confiscating every device in the house)
• School avoidance: why "just make them go" backfires, what's driving the refusal, and how schools and families can work together to get kids back in the building
• Supporting anxious kids in the classroom: recognizing anxiety that looks like defiance, and small accommodations with big payoffs
• Understanding big emotions and behavior: what's underneath tantrums, shutdowns, and outbursts, and how adults can respond without escalating
• Helping teens manage stress and pressure: school, sports, social media, and the comparison trap
• Performance anxiety for athletes: getting out of your head and back in the game, with practical tools for pressure, confidence, and recovering from mistakes
• Team building that actually builds teams: exercises that grow trust, communication, and mental toughness (no trust falls required)
• Strengthening family relationships: connection, communication, and repairing after conflict
• Boundary setting: for parents, teens, and the adults who work with them; how to say no without burning the relationship down
• Mental health basics: awareness sessions for staff and community groups: what to watch for, what to say, and when to refer

Don't see your topic? Ask. If it's in our clinical wheelhouse, we can build a session around it.

Schools and school districts, PTAs and parent organizations, club and select sports programs, middle and high school athletic teams, medical and pediatric offices, and community groups across Leander, Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, Georgetown, and the greater Austin area.

We also offer consultation for schools and organizations that want ongoing support, helping staff think through recurring challenges like school avoidance, classroom behavior, and supporting students in distress.

Athletes get a special mention here. Every coach has seen it: the kid who's automatic in practice and tight in the game. That gap is mental, and it's trainable. We work with club and select programs and with middle and high school teams on the mental side of sport and mental performance: performance anxiety, handling pressure, rebuilding confidence after mistakes, and team-building sessions that improve how a roster communicates and competes.

Keynotes, staff in-service trainings, lunch-and-learns, parent nights, PTA presentations, workshop series, and ongoing consultation. Engagements are $230 per hour, and we're glad to tailor length, depth, and format to your event and audience.
