Therapist Aid-worksheets and tools for mental health professionals

https://www.therapistaid.com

Therapist Aid is a very useful website that has many tools available for mental health professionals.  The website allows you to choose which demographic you are working with, children, adolescents, or adults and provides worksheets and tools designed specifically for each population.  Therapy aid also allows you to search different topics, such as, anger, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, grief, and trauma.  There are also art therapy worksheets and projects available for each age demographic.  Therapy aid provides videos and articles that cover various topics including, depression, the anxiety cycle, progressive muscle relaxation, and deep breathing exercises.  I have found the anxiety coping skills, healthy stress coping, and self-esteem worksheets to be very helpful for working with high school students. I also think that the Trauma information and worksheets provided are very sensitive and helpful in explaining what trauma is and its impact on a person. The trauma worksheets can be used to help a student process their own trauma and develop healthy coping strategies.  There are also informational videos  and worksheets on CBT and DBT.  There are worksheets that help with interpersonal skills, distress tolerance skills, emotion regulation skills, communication skills, challenging negative thoughts, goal development and much more.  I have used different worksheets from therapy aid in groups and one on one sessions and found them to be effective in both settings.  There are different membership types, but I have been using the free one and have been able to get a lot of worksheets, videos, and articles.
