Common Mental Health Challenges Along Cherry Street
The Cherry Street area's central location and busy atmosphere create both opportunities and challenges for families. The convenient access to medical care, schools, and services comes with the stress of traffic, busy schedules, and the pressure that often accompanies families juggling multiple commitments in a high-activity area.
Overscheduling and Time Pressure
Families along Cherry Street often have packed schedules with school at Cascia Hall, medical appointments at Saint Francis, activities, and work. This constant rushing can create anxiety and stress in children who never feel they have downtime.
Medical Anxiety
Being in close proximity to medical facilities can heighten anxiety for some children, especially those with medical conditions or previous traumatic medical experiences. We help children process medical trauma and develop coping strategies for ongoing medical care.
Academic Pressure and Achievement Stress
The area's proximity to high-performing schools like Cascia Hall creates an atmosphere of academic achievement that can be overwhelming. We work with students experiencing perfectionism, test anxiety, and the stress of college preparation.
Urban Overstimulation
The busy traffic, constant activity, and urban environment of Cherry Street can be overwhelming for sensitive children. Our Body & Brain program helps kids develop regulation skills for managing sensory overload in busy environments.

Success Story from Cherry Street
"Our son attends Cascia Hall and has several ongoing medical issues that require regular appointments at Saint Francis. Between school, medical appointments, therapy for his chronic condition, and trying to maintain some normalcy, he was constantly anxious and overwhelmed. The driving between appointments, the pressure to keep up academically despite missing school, and the stress of medical procedures was affecting our whole family."
"Finding SafeHarbor on Cherry Street was a game-changer. Not only could we combine therapy with our medical appointments, but the therapists understood medical trauma and the unique stress of managing chronic illness as a teenager. They worked with Cascia Hall counselors to develop an academic plan that reduced pressure while keeping him on track."
"The location made such a difference - instead of driving all over town, we could park once and walk to multiple appointments. Our son started seeing therapy not as another burden on his schedule, but as a supportive resource. He's now managing his medical care with confidence and maintaining good grades without the constant anxiety he had before."
- Patricia M., Mother of one, Cascia Hall parent
