Spring Ridge Academy Intensive Workshop

Melissa Cacialli, MA, LAC

As a therapist at Spring Ridge Academy, I could not be more excited to prepare and present the Intensive Therapeutic Workshop on depression and anxiety. I often interact with parents and students who are exhausted and bewildered when they can’t “just get over” the emotions they feel. In a few short weeks I’m hopeful that we’ll begin to untangle the web of despair and frustration these disorders wrap us in. The workshop itself will begin on the high ropes course at Chauncey Ranch. This wonderful resource is just miles from the Spring Ridge Academy campus. Nothing gets adrenaline going like hanging from a trapeze! It’s a perfect opportunity to begin working through the anxiety and fear that keep many students stuck in their personal growth. Back on campus we will move through the art barn and dance studio to get those emotions out of our minds and bodies where we can see them with eyes wide open. With coping strategies being sprinkled throughout the weekend I am certain that your daughters will leave feeling more capable and confident. I look forward to working with each and every one of them as we move closer to training weekend.
