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:Voices Rising in White Plains\, NY for Ages 4-10
DESCRIPTION:Voices Rising is an intensive group treatment for children aged 4-10 with Selective Mutism (SM). Using a classroom-like structure\, the group provides many opportunities to speak and engage with other peers and adults. \n\n\n\nSpeaking goals are individualized to fit the needs of the child\, focusing on asking and answering questions\, initiating conversations\, speaking and presenting to larger groups\, and engaging in peer-to-peer interactions. Each day consists of developmentally appropriate and engaging activities designed to facilitate “brave talking.” Groups are divided by age and will engage in different activities that are geared specifically for that age group. Other highlights of the program include classroom visitors\, which add opportunities to practice speaking goals with new people and going out in the community. \n\n\n\nOur counselors are highly trained in adapted PCIT for SM\, an evidence-based treatment. Parent training\, an integral part of the program\, will be virtual and consist of 5 sessions\, scheduled before\, during and after the program week. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.cbc-psychology.com/events/voices-rising-summer-2025 \n\n\n\nDr Rachel Busmansm@cbc-psychology.com

SUMMARY:5-Day Summer Camp for Older Kids Ages 6 to 9 in NYC
DESCRIPTION:Mighty Mouth Kids (MMK) Camp is the 5-day\, group-based intensive therapy program for children with Selective Mutism (SM)\, originally developed by Dr. Steven Kurtz. The program now continues under the leadership of Dr. Zohra Chahal and her team at Square One Psychology\, with Dr. Kurtz remaining closely involved to ensure that the MMK legacy continues seamlessly in its new home. \n\n\n\nEach camp session offers structured\, immersive treatment that helps children make meaningful progress in a short span of time. The intensive model allows campers to build and sustain brave momentum in a way that’s difficult to achieve through traditional\, once-weekly therapy alone. For families seeking expert care\, MMK also delivers exceptional value — offering the equivalent of nearly six months of therapy in just one week\, at a fraction of the cumulative cost. \n\n\n\nEach camp session includes:27.5 hours of group-based behavioral treatmentDaily Report Cards (DRCs) and brief check-ins at pick-up with Dr. ChahalA 2-hour virtual parent training following campA 30-minute individualized feedback call following camp \n\n\n\nTo ensure each camper receives truly individualized support\, every child is paired 1:1 with a trained counselor\, and each camp week is capped at just 8 children. Dr. Chahal works closely with parents in advance to identify each child’s unique “brave talking” goals\, then ensures that each camp day includes targeted\, meaningful exposure opportunities tailored to their specific needs. \n\n\n\nCampers practice speaking across a range of carefully chosen classroom and community settings — from sharing during Show & Tell and playing cooperatively with peers\, to answering a teacher’s question or ordering from a server at a local ice cream shop. Over the course of the week\, children build confidence speaking to more people\, in more places\, and across more varied activities. \n\n\n\nVisit squareonenyc.com to learn more! \n\n\n\nFees:Single session: $3\,500 (returning clients) / $4\,100 (new clients – includes initial assessment)Both sessions: $6\,000 (returning clients) / $6\,600 (new clients – includes initial assessment)

The ratio of counselors to kids is 1:1 to provide individual attention for each child. Multiple exposures are scheduled daily to support continuous practice and increased difficulty. Lead-in sessions are required before the start of Confident Crew to ensure that each child is prepared to participate and to maximize therapeutic gains.

SUMMARY:5-Day Summer Camp for Older Kids Ages 6 to 9 in NYC
DESCRIPTION:Mighty Mouth Kids (MMK) Camp is the 5-day\, group-based intensive therapy program for children with Selective Mutism (SM)\, originally developed by Dr. Steven Kurtz. The program now continues under the leadership of Dr. Zohra Chahal and her team at Square One Psychology\, with Dr. Kurtz remaining closely involved to ensure that the MMK legacy continues seamlessly in its new home. \n\n\n\nEach camp session offers structured\, immersive treatment that helps children make meaningful progress in a short span of time. The intensive model allows campers to build and sustain brave momentum in a way that’s difficult to achieve through traditional\, once-weekly therapy alone. For families seeking expert care\, MMK also delivers exceptional value — offering the equivalent of nearly six months of therapy in just one week\, at a fraction of the cumulative cost. \n\n\n\nEach camp session includes:27.5 hours of group-based behavioral treatmentDaily Report Cards (DRCs) and brief check-ins at pick-up with Dr. ChahalA 2-hour virtual parent training following campA 30-minute individualized feedback call following camp \n\n\n\nTo ensure each camper receives truly individualized support\, every child is paired 1:1 with a trained counselor\, and each camp week is capped at just 8 children. Dr. Chahal works closely with parents in advance to identify each child’s unique “brave talking” goals\, then ensures that each camp day includes targeted\, meaningful exposure opportunities tailored to their specific needs. \n\n\n\nCampers practice speaking across a range of carefully chosen classroom and community settings — from sharing during Show & Tell and playing cooperatively with peers\, to answering a teacher’s question or ordering from a server at a local ice cream shop. Over the course of the week\, children build confidence speaking to more people\, in more places\, and across more varied activities. \n\n\n\nVisit squareonenyc.com to learn more! \n\n\n\nFees:Single session: $3\,500 (returning clients) / $4\,100 (new clients – includes initial assessment)Both sessions: $6\,000 (returning clients) / $6\,600 (new clients – includes initial assessment)

SUMMARY:Webinar Speaking Up: School-Based Exposures for Selective Mutism
DESCRIPTION:Go here for more information and to registerhttps://selectivemutismassociation.ce-go.com/speaking-up-school-based-exposures-for-selective-mutism \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Brittany Bice-Urbach\, Associate Professor and Clinical Psychologist \n\n\n\nThis webinar will emphasize intervention strategies when directly implementing school-based exposures for children with selective mutism. This session will specifically focus on both developing and implementing exposure practices in school environments. The session will provide participants with a) tools for gathering data about a child’s current speaking comforts in the school environment\, b) planning forms to help school teams develop concrete intervention plans\, c) examples of creative school-based exposure practices at 3 levels of communication (i.e.\, nonverbal\, communicating with a few individuals in the building\, higher level speaking)\, d) ideas for efficient progress monitoring\, and e) problem-solving through common barriers within exposure practice. Participants will leave with concrete recommendations and resources to successfully support exposure practice for children with selective mutism as they build their comfort to communicate in school settings.
