Therapists Success Stories
Each story highlights a challenge. Each one ends in growth. See how real therapists use GrowthMinded every day.
Helping Kids Understand Emotional Triggers Challenge:
A child was experiencing frequent emotional outbursts and physical aggression toward their sibling.
How GrowthMinded Helped:
Used volcano activity to help the child recognize and label big emotions. Used coloring and simple visuals to explore emotional buildup and safe ways to release pressure before “erupting.”
Impact:
✅ The child learned to identify rising emotions and use calming strategies.
✅ The parent reported fewer outbursts at home and better sibling interactions.
“It was the first time she could see what was happening inside — and she finally had tools to do something about it.”
— School Psychologist
Turning Homework Anxiety Into Action Challenge:
A student with perfectionist tendencies was feeling anxious and overwhelmed by homework.
How GrowthMinded Helped:
Using the “Video Game Controller” worksheet, the child explored what’s in their control vs. out of their control. Together, with the Family Therapist, the child reframed the situation and practiced coping strategies using the visual tool as a guide.
Impact:
✅ The child developed a new self-talk script to stay calm and focused.
✅ Homework meltdowns reduced dramatically, and parents reported more independence.
“She walked away saying, ‘I know I can do this. I just need to start with one step.”
— Family Therapist
Building Emotional Vocabulary Through Play Challenge:
Younger clients struggled to articulate feelings and avoided emotional conversations.
How GrowthMinded Helped:
The “Feelings Octopus” and “Emotions Wheel” activities make emotions approachable and fun. Children colored the visuals, matched faces to feelings, and used games to practice naming their emotions.
Impact:
✅ Kids began using emotional language unprompted.
✅ Therapy sessions became more productive and emotionally rich.
“If they can’t say it, they can now show it. And that changes everything.”
— Therapist
Transforming Aggressive Behavior into Assertive Communication
Challenge:
A young girl on the therapist’s caseload was frequently aggressive toward peers — yelling, hitting, and escalating conflicts at school.
How GrowthMinded Helped:
The therapist used self-regulation resources and role-play worksheets focused on assertive communication. Together, they practiced phrases like “I don’t like it when you say that” and created scripts the child could rehearse.
Impact:
✅ The child applied the strategy independently at school, calmly setting a boundary and removing herself from the conflict — without aggression.
“Normally she would retaliate... but this time she said, ‘I don’t like it when you say that,’ and then left the space.”
— Social, Emotional Learning Specialist
Equipping Parents to Handle Dysregulated Behavior at Home
Challenge:
Parents were overwhelmed by their child’s emotional outbursts and unsure how to respond effectively.
How GrowthMinded Helped:
The therapist provided GrowthMinded’s one-page parenting tip sheets on topics like managing dysregulation and responding to challenging behavior. These tools were integrated into coaching sessions with parents.
Impact:
✅ Parents gained practical, evidence-based tools they could implement immediately.
✅ They felt more confident and better supported.
“I do a lot of parent coaching. I’ll pull up one of your tip sheets... they’re extremely helpful. Every family should be using them.”
— Family Therapist
“GrowthMinded is my go-to for emotion-focused tools. I can pull a visual or worksheet mid-session to help a child name their feelings, calm down, or reframe negative self-talk. It saves me time and keeps sessions engaging.”
Dr. Amy Patenaude, School Psychologist & Parent Coach
“I use GrowthMinded with 80% of the kids on my caseload. It’s become my go-to for visuals, emotion charts, and parent handouts. I can search, print, laminate, and bring it right into the therapy room or send it home with families to keep the work going.”
Sarah Doyle , Occupational Therapist, Seedling OT
