Clients rave about our work and results – over 90% of our clients show significant improvements in resolving their issues after 6-12 months of treatment with our team.
As leading experts in child and adolescent issues including parenting challenges, here is how we can serve your clientele:
Our clinical team is trained in the latest findings in diagnosis, treatment, and management of ADHD in children and teens. We also use DBT and CBT strategies, Mindfulness, and the most recent evidence-based approaches to support kids with ADHD and the anxiety that often accompanies it.
Learn MoreWith a program personally developed and written by Dr. Sylvia Gearing, GearingUp has been offering DBT for over ten years to teens and children. Best of all, we are intensively trained in DBT by Dr. Marsha Linehan’s team, and our program of emotion regulation skills has helped hundreds of children in Texas. Our skilled therapists are highly trained and experienced in this difficult-to-find, incredibly successful approach for resolving numerous mental health issues.
Learn MoreMindfulness is an invaluable skill in helping children to calm down and to be aware of their emotions without reacting to them. By learning to harness their attention and to direct it to the present moment, they are able to build an entirely different relationship to their thoughts and feelings. Kids and teens use these skills to change their reactions to their distorted, inaccurate thoughts by learning to recognize their negative thinking patterns and then understanding how to dispute them. With both mindfulness and cognitive tools, children begin to relate to their day-to-day experiences more effectively to decrease their anxiety.
Learn MoreOur acclaimed parenting program has been a practice offering since 2018. We have worked with hundreds of parents who were searching for new tools to support children with intense emotions, rapidly shifting moods, explosive anger, anxiety and depression issues, low tolerance for change and transitions, difficulty with distractibility, concentration and shifting attention, behavioral avoidance, impulsivity, difficulty navigating emotions that lead to sabotaging actions, and much more. Dr. Milt and Dr. Sylvia Gearing are experts in behavioral shaping and reinforcement techniques in children and adolescents, and they teach parents how to systematically reinforce positive behaviors while extinguishing unwanted behaviors.
Learn MoreWe have been serving children, adolescents, and their parents in Texas for over thirty-five years. In just the last few years, depression and anxiety have hit new record highs. The CDC reported that 57% of girls (up from 36% in 2011) and 29% of boys now report significant and chronic sadness and hopelessness in 2021. Our gifted therapists are specialists in child and adolescent treatments, and we have successfully treated hundreds of children, teens, and their families with our remarkable DBT and CBT programs for adolescents and children.
Learn MoreOur therapies offer children and teens a chance to slow down and process where they are today to go further tomorrow. They learn how to calm their bodies and minds, cultivate compassion for themselves and others, and how to find meaning and hope through adversity. Our programs prepare children to be happy and successful teens and adults with lifelong lessons that will enrich the rest of their lives.
Learn MoreTherapy is about more than just the hard times. GearingUp uses the tools of therapy such as mindfulness meditation and gratitude practices to teach clients how to create a life full of joy, connection, and love.
