Hi there! My name is Laura. I am a school psychologist and educational consultant in New York City. During my career, I have also been a Special Education Director and a Director at a camp for children with Autism. Before I knew what to call it, social and emotional learning was my passion. It seems like without that, not much else works very well, amirite? I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share that passion and knowledge with countless professionals and students. What a gift.
Please, and I mean please, contact me with questions or suggestions. I love hearing what you loved or less than loved about a resource, what you are struggling with in your practice, or if you want to grab coffee on a trip to New York. Suggestions are handled quickly, and you will be able to redownload any future revisions.
Catch a typo or mistake? Definitely email me and be kindly rewarded with a freebie from my store. I want a
perfect resource as much as you do.
Do you have pictures of my resources in action? Send them to me. I love to shout out your pictures on social media.
To cement our new friendship, I am always looking for people to test out new products. Reach out to join the crew.
Did we just become best friends?

This is a set of student worksheets that help students reframe their negative thoughts. It pushes them to think through what situations cause them, how they feel, and how they react.
Additional visuals and materials are included to help students understand typical thinking errors and determine if their thought is negative and unhelpful.
These worksheets are most beneficial when used in cognitive behavioral therapy and with students who have exposure to what negative thinking errors are.
