SUMMARY:Weekly Virtual SM / Social Anxiety Group for Ages 9 to 12 in NY\, NJ\, and CT
DESCRIPTION:Anxiety can keep kids stuck — quiet in class\, hesitant in groups\, or quick to withdraw from situations that feel uncertain. This once-weekly\, 90-minute virtual group helps pre-teens (ages 9 to 12) break that cycle. \n\n\n\nThrough engaging\, age-appropriate activities that mirror real-world challenges — like participating in classroom discussions\, joining group conversations\, and collaborating on shared tasks — kids learn to manage anxious thoughts\, challenge self-doubt\, and lean into social experiences. Each session offers practical tools\, peer connection\, and hands-on coaching in a safe and supportive space. As they take small\, intentional steps forward\, pre-teens build the confidence to speak up\, join in\, and engage more freely in everyday life\, without letting anxiety call the shots. \n\n\n\nVisit squareonenyc.com to learn more! \n\n\n\nFee: $200 per session

SUMMARY:Mighty Mouth Kids Camp- Sarasota (MMK-SRQ) for Ages 4 to 10 in Sarasota\, FL
DESCRIPTION:Mighty Mouth Kids Camp- Sarasota (MMK-SRQ) is a 5-day SM camp based on the MMK model developed by Dr. Steven Kurtz. Our practice owner Dr. Kate Gibson was the Director of Training at Kurtz Psychology from 2019-2022\, assisting with planning and implementation of numerous rounds of MMK during that time. Dr Gibson went on to help bring the MMK model to Caring Cove in Chatham\, New Jersey in 2022 and to her own practice in Sarasota\, FL in 2023. Our camp replicates a school/camp setting with a 1:1 counselor to camper ratio. Campers will practice brave talking in indoor and outdoor group play and in structured activities. They will have the opportunity to enjoy snacks and lunch with peers\, to practice raising their hand and participating\, and asking for help in a classroom setting. Campers will do 3 different presentations in front of the group over the course of the camp week\, and will ask and answer questions about the presentations. Campers will practice speaking in community settings (e.g.\, pizza lunch & shaved ice truck). They will also attend a field trip. The camp week is Monday July 20th through Friday July 24th\, 2026\, 9 AM – 2 PM. \n\n\n\nThe week prior to camp (Tuesday July 14th to Friday July 17th\, 2026) is reserved for lead-in sessions to get kiddos ready for camp and will be scheduled separately for each child. \n\n\n\nParent training and live parent coaching are an integral part of our camp experience. Parent training takes place virtually July 9th and 10th\, 2026 from 11 AM to 1 PM Eastern. \n\n\n\nFor more information visit our website at: https://www.childtherapysrq.com/selectivemutism.html \n\n\n\nFor additional questions or to register please contact our Administrative Coordinators at 941-357-4090 or info@childtherapysrq.com (Attn: MMK-SRQ).

SUMMARY:Weekly Virtual SM / Social Anxiety Group for Ages 9 to 12 in NY\, NJ\, and CT
