“I’ve never expected clients to be perfectly consistent.
Life happens. People pause. Sometimes therapy gets overwhelming, and you need space.
What matters isn’t how often you show up
It’s knowing you can come back. The door is still open.
In trauma work, it's about building something that maybe didn’t exist before:
Safe, steady connection.
Even a small rhythm, every few weeks, while pausing to think and reflect, can help your nervous system settle and trust that support is there.
That’s what makes the difference.”
Emily Bushell, MA, RCT, CCS
EMDRIA Approved Consultant, CEO & Clinical Director

Did you ghost your therapist?
Sometimes we leave therapy not because we don’t care
But because something inside us needs space.
You’re not failing. You’re adapting.
And you’re always allowed to come back.
No reset button. Just your next step.

Does your teen seem overwhelmed, anxious, or shut down?
Teen anxiety doesn’t always look like panic.
Sometimes it looks like irritability, withdrawal, sleepless nights, or silence.
💛 Find a Steadier Ground is a therapist-created guide designed to help you better understand what your teen may be experiencing, and how to support them with compassion and confidence.
Inside the guide, you’ll learn:
• Common signs of teen anxiety
• What’s happening in the anxious brain
• Practical grounding tools for teens and parents
• When therapy may be helpful
You don’t need to have all the answers.
You just need the right starting point.

Some families go silent.
Some shift moods without warning.
Some pretend everything is fine.
If you grew up in a family where safety meant staying quiet, fixing things, or reading the room fast, it makes sense that certain dynamics still feel hard.
And if you’ve been trying to unlearn those patterns, you’re not behind.
You’re doing something brave.
There’s nothing wrong with you for needing support.
Especially when your idea of “normal” was built in survival.

Support doesn’t always feel like a big shift.
Sometimes it feels like someone waiting with the light on.

A safe room.
A full exhale.
A chance to speak something out loud or not speak at all.

Therapy can begin here.
Gently.
Quietly.
Without urgency.

What if this is where things start to feel lighter?
Living with PTSD can mean staying guarded.
Watching for danger.
Carrying more than most people can see.

If trust feels hard, that makes sense.
If words don’t come easily, that’s okay too.

Therapy doesn’t ask you to relive everything.
It doesn’t rush your story.
It can start with safety, one step at a time.

If you’ve been carrying this alone, you don’t have to anymore.

You can start small.
Starting therapy in a new place can feel unfamiliar.
New systems. New language. New expectations.
You don’t need to know how it works.
You don’t need the right words.
You don’t need to explain everything all at once.
Many people begin by simply saying,
“I’m not sure where to start.”
That’s enough.

Support doesn’t have to be a big step.
It can start small and at your pace.

You don’t have to come in with the perfect story.
You don’t have to say it all right the first time.
Therapy meets you where you are, even if where you are is unsure, quiet, or still figuring things out.

It’s not easy to ask for help especially if no one ever showed you how.
You don’t need perfect words.
You don’t need to explain everything.
You just need a place that feels safe enough to begin.

You’ve been managing. But managing isn’t thriving.
Therapy isn’t just for people who fall apart.
It’s for people who’ve held it together for so long, they forgot how to check in.

Therapy isn’t for the weak.
It’s for the ones carrying more than they say.
For the ones who keep showing up but wonder how much longer they can.
You don’t need a breakdown to reach out.
You just need a space to feel human.
