When Your Child Is Struggling Behind Good Grades

Rolling green hills with a road winding through them

The teacher says she's doing great.

The report card is fine. And then it's 8:45 on a Tuesday night and she's crying over a worksheet, erasing until the paper tears. Or your teen is up past midnight refreshing the grade portal, or the Sunday-night stomachache is back and it's never once shown up on a Saturday.

Out here the pressure starts young, and nobody at school sees the cost. You're the only witness. You've been told she's fine, look at her grades. You've been told he just needs to relax. As if relax is a lever you forgot to pull.

Or it's not school at all. It's the goodbye at the car door on exchange days, or the kid who's been different since the thing that happened, or the light that went off in a child who used to fill every room.

If it's big enough to worry you, it's big enough to bring here. Our Redwood City office is fifteen minutes from Palo Alto and Menlo Park, and it's set up for exactly this.

Meet Hannah Ly, LMFT, Founder of Your Therapy Nook

Hannah Ly, LMFT

I'm Hannah Ly, LMFT, founder of Your Therapy Nook. I've worked with children since 2012, and a large share of them are Peninsula kids carrying exactly the pressure this page describes.

Before I was a therapist I nannied for Silicon Valley families, and I watched good parents snap at kids they loved. That became the job.

It's not just me anymore. Every child and teen therapist here trained under me and I review every case weekly, so whoever your family is matched with, you're getting someone I'd trust with my own kids. I run every consultation myself, and you can request a specific therapist on the call.

What Changes With Child and Teen Therapy

Mistakes stop being emergencies, and recovery gets faster.
The body settles. Mornings, Sundays, the night before a test.
The school calls slow down.
Your teen talks at dinner. Not about anything important. Just talks.
You stop walking on eggshells.

The Redwood City Office

Our Redwood City office sits just off 101, minutes from downtown. Same practice, same approach as San Jose: children and teens only, child-led, with parent coaching built into every case. The room is set up for real play, not a desk your kid has to sit across.

This is all we do here. Children, teens, and the parents trying to reach them.
