Pillars of Mental Health are the foundations of which you build your overall well-being and function on.

These can be an excellent way of mapping your road back to the basics, especially when life gets overwhelming and complicated. If we find ourselves off kilter, sit with it and reflect, the odds are we can refine one (or many) of our pillars.

Just remember that less is more; so focusing on one pillar at a time can be a helpful way to rebuild and reset that baseline that is so integral to your mental health.

If you're struggling to set a plan in place, or not sure where to start, please know we are here to help. Reach out to us via our client portal (link in bio), email mmpsychotherapy@outlook.com or DM on our socials.

The theme of frustration and setbacks have come up a lot in the last few weeks of sessions. Maybe it's the change in seasons, the shift in the pace of life, or perhaps simply hitting resistance. However, this is just a gentle reminder that healing isn't linear.

It's important to remember to be extra gentle with yourself, as you're practicing the tools from a point of connection with self. Please remember to give yourself some grace, be patience and kind as you then apply these tools out in the wild when interacting with others.

When healing, I like to consider the visual of a spiral staircase, as you grow and shift. You may look back on the progress you've made, and not all views from a new level of healing are pleasant, or fun, however they are necessary as you expand on that self-awareness and integrate the tools and lenses into your day-to-day life.

If needing a refresher, a top up, a safe place to land and unpack, or build on new tools, please know we are taking on new clients. You can book a session with us via our client portal (link in bio), DM us, email us at mmpsychotherapy@outlook.com, or call us at 844-733-2023.

Be patient. Be kind. And give yourself some grace.

The season of transition continues to be underway, and with the change in weather and the hustle & bustle of the fall season upon us, we an easily slip into autopilot and risk emptying our cup.

Despite there never being enough hours in the day, we invite you to take a pause, take a breath and create pockets of moments in your day-to-day life that can help you reset and fill that cup.

Here are a few ideas from our team of therapists to help you full your cup, anticipate the changes ahead, and safeguard from both seasonal changes and burnout:
- Start taking Vitamin D
- Drink your water
Adding some guilt-free rest time (again: rest doesn't need to be earned!)
- Invite stretches into your day
- Check-in with your breath & connect it deeply to the bottom of your belly
- Get yourself a snacky snack (please).
- Explore with curiosity different hobbies to switch our those summer hobbies with ones for the seasons ahead (did somebody say green thumbing with adding more indoor plants?)
- Connect with loves ones (prioritize a coffee date with a friend, or go visit an aging family member).
- Consider volunteering for a cause of your choice.
- Meal prep
- Make time to play (playing is important at all ages & feeds your soul).

What are your go-to's to fill your cup? How are you going to support yourself with this seasonal transition? Comment below. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Therapy Thursdays
.. it has a nice ring to it doesnโ€™t it? We are incredibly proud to announce our newest service here at Mind|Matter: a FREE Walk-In Clinic.

You heard that right. A FREE Walk-In Clinic, helping remove barriers to mental health services for those in need.

These services will be provided by our very own, Aaryn Puccini, every Thursday, starting this Thursday October 23 to Thursday, December 18 2025, between the hours of 9am and 4pm.

A few noteworthy details in accessing the clinic include:
- A limit of 6 free sessions per person, with the option of 30-minutes or 60-minutes (based on clientโ€™s preference and need).
- Should services be required on a day that isnโ€™t a Thursday, Aaryn is available to book; however these sessions are at a $50/session service fee.
- We request these services be accessed by clients who are 12+ years of age & up.
- We are located at 280 Armstrong Street N, New Liskeard, ON (in the Service Canada/College Boreal building).

We are beyond ecstatic to have Aaryn onboard to help bring great mental health services to our clinic and our area.

Hello, September! ๐Ÿ‚โœจ

I've always found September to be synonymous with a new year; a fresh start. A new school year in session. An opportunity to switch gears for the remainder of the year. An invitation for a reset if needed.

September can also bring a fair share of emotions, from joy for pumpkin spice season being upon us, to a quiet dread as we watch our gardens harvested and get ourselves ready for weekends spent a little different than during those balmy summer months.

Please know we are here to help with such a seasonal transition. Please note we are currently accepting new clients, should you feel the need for support to re-shift, to take that moment to expand on your self-awareness, learn some new tools, and to sharpen your mental health game in preparation for the months ahead.

DM us on Instagram, DM us on Facebook, email us at mmpsychotherapy@outlook.com, or login to our client portal (๐Ÿงทin bio)to book your session today!

๐Ÿง โœจ Mental Health Week 2025 โœจ๐Ÿง 

This week, we honor mental health week by bringing awareness to mental health as health.

We remove stigma by normalizing that we all need help sometimes.

We remove stigma through holding space and acknowledging that feelings are valid.

We remove stigma by connecting with those around us, and hold open and honest conversations about the uncomfortable.

We remove stigma by being present, empathetic and kind to those we interact with.

Mental health is so much more than one week of spotlighting. Itโ€™s the way we show up in our day-to-day to remove barriers to care, and support those in need with consideration, compassion and non-judgement. Always.

Mental health is health.

Has anyone noticed the warp speed of 2025? ๐Ÿฅด

In the spirit of trying to wrap our minds around the fact it's nearly May, we invite you to take a minute and reflect with us on some of the highlights of 2025 so far.

Are there areas of which you want to celebrate and hold close to your heart? Perhaps there's also moments where you can identify areas of growth, and maybe insights of a direction you want to take.

This is a gentle reminder to hit 'Pause', despite the rush, the chaos and the fast-pace of life and ask yourself if your daily habits are supporting a life you're trying to create. Small progress is still progress.

If you're noticing some habits that are hard to break, or finding yourself in a rut and in need of extra support, please know we are available to help.

DM us or hop onto our client portal to book your session today. โœจ
