February is Black History Month
Black History Month began in 1926 as "Negro History Week," created by historian Carter G. Woodson. He specifically chose the second week of February because it coincided with the birthdays of two pivotal figures in Black history:
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809) - The 16th President of the United States, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, declaring that enslaved people in Confederate states were free. His leadership during the Civil War was instrumental in ending slavery in America.
Frederick Douglass (February 14, 1818) - Born into slavery, Douglass escaped and became one of the most powerful voices for abolition and equality in American history. He was a writer, orator, and tireless advocate for freedom and justice - not just for Black Americans, but for all oppressed people.
In 1976, President Gerald Ford officially expanded the week-long observance into Black History Month, recognizing the need to honor the contributions, struggles, and resilience of Black Americans throughout history.

Why Black History Month Matters in Mental Health
The Black experience in America - both historically and today - carries unique challenges, traumas, and stressors that deeply impact mental health.
Black individuals and families face:

Racism and discrimination - both systemic (in healthcare, employment, housing, criminal justice) and interpersonal (microaggressions, bias, prejudice)
Generational trauma - the lasting effects of slavery, segregation, and ongoing oppression passed down through families
Cultural mistrust of healthcare systems - rooted in histories like the Tuskegee Study and ongoing disparities in medical care
Pressure to be "strong" - cultural expectations to endure hardship without complaint or to avoid seeking help
Lack of culturally competent care - therapists who don't understand or dismiss the impact of race and racism on mental health

These experiences don't just exist in history books. They show up as:

Chronic stress and hypervigilance
Anxiety and depression
Trauma responses
Difficulty trusting systems or providers
Reluctance to seek help (due to stigma or past negative experiences)

Mental health care must acknowledge and address these realities.

Culturally Competent Therapy Matters
At Landry Therapy Group, we understand that cultural identity is not separate from mental health - it's central to it.
If you're looking for a therapist who:

Understands the Black experience in America (and specifically in Texas)
Recognizes how racism, discrimination, and systemic oppression impact mental health
Creates a space where you don't have to explain or defend your reality
Sees and honors your full identity

We have Black therapists on our team who provide culturally informed, compassionate care.
You deserve a therapist who gets it. Who sees you. Who understands the weight you carry - and doesn't minimize it.
We're here to support you.

Real Stories. Real Healing.
"Growing up, we were on welfare, food stamps, Section 8 housing. I was ashamed of my clothes. I was hungry all the time. We never had money for trips.
As an adult, that became hoarding food, preparing for the worst, overspending, and deep debt.
Counseling taught me that my childhood coping mechanisms don't serve me anymore. My anxiety and depression are manageable now. I can calm my nervous system and recognize when my body is activated.
Therapy helped me understand my past and build a different future."
- client

This is what childhood poverty does. It doesn't just affect your childhood - it rewires your brain for survival.
When you grow up without food security, financial stability, or basic needs consistently met, your brain learns to:

Hoard resources when you finally have them
Constantly prepare for disaster (because it always felt inevitable)
Feel anxious even when things are stable (because safety never felt guaranteed)
Overspend to fill the void or prove you're "enough now"

These behaviors made perfect sense when you were a child. Your brain was trying to keep you alive. The problem is that your nervous system doesn't know you're safe now - so it keeps reacting like you're still that hungry, scared, ashamed kid.

That's where therapy comes in.
Therapy doesn't erase your past. But it helps you understand it. It teaches you to recognize when your body is activated - when you're responding to old trauma, not present-day reality.
You learn to:

Calm your nervous system
Recognize triggers before they control you
Replace survival-mode behaviors with healthier coping skills
Manage the anxiety and depression rooted in childhood experiences

This client said it perfectly: "I can now recognize when my body is activated and when it's unreasonable."
That's healing. Not perfection. Not pretending the past didn't happen. But learning to respond differently.

If you grew up in poverty - with food insecurity, housing instability, financial stress, or shame about what you didn't have - and it's still affecting you today, you're not alone. Millions of adults carry this. And therapy can help.

At Landry Therapy Group, we specialize in trauma therapy, including EMDR and Brainspotting. We help people heal from childhood experiences that are still controlling their adult lives. You don't have to stay stuck. You can build something different.

Hi, I'm Tiffany 👋

I'm your first contact with Landry Therapy Group - and I've been here since day one.

I'm not a therapist, but I have a unique role here. I helped build and cultivate this practice alongside Lisa, ensuring that every person who walks through our (virtual) door finds compassion, understanding, and healing.

Here's what I bring to the table:

I've been in and out of therapy many times myself. My parent instilled in me the importance of processing through difficult life situations from a very young age, and I've used that tool throughout my life.

So I get it. I understand the hesitation. The fear. The shame. The feeling that reaching out for help means you're weak.

But I also understand the relief and hope that comes with healing.

My job is to match you with the right therapist.

Every clinician who joins our team is someone we've not only vetted for credentials, but someone we trust, admire, and deeply understand the strengths of. When you reach out, I take time to get to know what you need - and then I connect you with the therapist who can provide a safe, healing journey.

You're not just a client here. You're a person who deserves care, and I take that seriously.

If you've been thinking about reaching out but weren't sure where to start, that's exactly what I'm here for. Let's talk.

💚 Tiffany
Client Care Coordinator, Landry Therapy Group

Psychotherapists who specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma disorders, grief, and daily life stressors. Adults, children, adolescents, couples, LGBT, and spiritual counseling available.

Feeling Anxious or Overwhelmed? Try This 5-Minute Grounding Exercise
Anxiety can hit out of nowhere - your chest tightens, your mind races, you feel like you can't breathe. When that happens, it's hard to think clearly or calm yourself down.
Grounding techniques help bring you back to the present moment by using your five senses to interrupt anxious thoughts.
One of the most effective (and easiest) grounding tools is the 5-4-3-2-1 technique.

Here's how it works:
5 - Look around and name 5 things you can SEE
("I see the window, my coffee mug, a picture frame, the couch, the lamp.")
4 - Notice 4 things you can TOUCH
("I feel the chair under me, my feet on the floor, my shirt on my skin, my phone in my hand.")
3 - Listen for 3 things you can HEAR
("I hear the hum of the refrigerator, birds chirping outside, a car passing by.")
2 - Identify 2 things you can SMELL
("I smell coffee, or fresh air from the window, or lotion on my hands.")
1 - Focus on 1 thing you can TASTE
("I taste mint from my toothpaste, or the last sip of water I drank.")

Why does this work?
When you're anxious, your brain is stuck in the past (regrets, what you should have done) or the future (worries, what might go wrong). This exercise pulls you back to RIGHT NOW - where you're safe.
It interrupts the anxiety spiral and gives your nervous system a chance to reset.

When to use this:

Before a stressful event (job interview, difficult conversation, doctor's appointment)
During a panic attack or anxiety spike
When you feel overwhelmed and can't think straight
Anytime you need to calm down quickly

It takes 5 minutes. Costs nothing. Works anywhere.

Save this post so you have it when you need it. Share it with someone who might benefit.
If anxiety is affecting your daily life - your work, relationships, sleep, or ability to function - therapy can help. You don't have to manage this alone.

Signs You're Healing (Even When It Doesn't Feel Like It)
Healing doesn't always feel like progress. Sometimes it's messy, painful, or uncomfortable. Sometimes you feel like you're going backward instead of forward.

But if you're doing any of these things, you're healing:

You're setting boundaries - even when it's hard.
You're saying no without guilt. You're protecting your time and energy. You're choosing yourself, even when others don't like it. That's not selfish - that's healing.

You're feeling your feelings instead of avoiding them.
You're not numbing with alcohol, food, work, or distractions. You're sitting with discomfort. You're letting yourself cry, be angry, feel sad. You're not running anymore. That's healing.

You're asking for help.
You're not white-knuckling through life alone anymore. You're reaching out to friends, family, or a therapist. You're admitting when you're struggling. That's not weakness - that's healing.

You're noticing patterns.
You're recognizing when old behaviors show up. You're catching yourself before you spiral. You're aware of your triggers and what sets you off. Awareness is the first step. That's healing.

You're responding instead of reacting.
You're pausing before you speak. You're choosing your words instead of lashing out. You're not letting anger, fear, or hurt control you anymore. That's healing.

You're forgiving yourself.
You're letting go of shame for past mistakes. You're giving yourself grace. You're treating yourself with the same compassion you'd show a friend. That's healing.

You're choosing differently.
You're breaking old patterns. You're walking away from things that hurt you. You're doing the hard work even when it's uncomfortable. You're trying again after failing. That's healing.

You're still here.
On the days when everything feels too hard, you're still showing up. You're still trying. You're still breathing. That's healing, too.

Healing isn't linear.
Some days you'll feel strong, capable, and proud of how far you've come. Other days you'll feel like you're right back where you started - struggling, exhausted, defeated.
Both are part of the journey.
Healing isn't about being "fixed" or never struggling again. It's about recognizing growth - even when it's small. It's about showing up for yourself differently. It's about choosing new patterns instead of repeating old ones.
If you're doing the work - therapy, self-reflection, challenging yourself, trying again - you're healing. Even when it doesn't feel like it.
Keep going. You're doing better than you think.

Things Your Therapist Wants You to Know (But Might Not Say Out Loud)
If you've ever wondered what therapists really think, here's the truth:

You don't have to have a "good reason" to be in therapy.
You don't need to qualify your struggles or prove you're "bad enough" to deserve support. If life feels hard, that's reason enough. You don't have to wait for a crisis.

Crying in session is completely normal.
We have tissues for a reason. Crying isn't weakness - it's release. Let it out. That's what this space is for.

We don't judge you. Ever.
Seriously. We've heard it all - the messy thoughts, the embarrassing behaviors, the things you're ashamed of. Nothing you say will shock us or make us think less of you. Our job is to create a space where you can be completely honest without fear of judgment.

Progress isn't linear.
Healing doesn't happen in a straight line. You'll have good weeks and hard weeks. You'll feel like you're making progress, then suddenly feel stuck again. Setbacks are part of the process, not signs of failure. Keep going.

You can fire your therapist.
If it's not a good fit - if you don't feel heard, comfortable, or understood - you're allowed to try someone else. Therapy works best when the relationship feels right. Don't stay with a therapist out of obligation or guilt.

Our goal is for you to get better and leave.
We're not trying to keep you in therapy forever. Our goal is to give you tools, clarity, and healing - so you can live your life without needing us. We want you to outgrow us. That's success.

Therapy takes work.
It's not just showing up and talking for an hour. It's doing the hard work between sessions - practicing skills, challenging old patterns, sitting with uncomfortable emotions, changing behaviors. But we'll do it together. You're not alone in this.

You deserve support.
Whatever brought you here, whatever you're carrying, whatever you're going through - you deserve help. You don't have to be in crisis. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to try.
We're here when you're ready.

How to Know When It's Time for Therapy
A lot of people ask us: "How do I know if I really need therapy? What if I'm not struggling enough?"
Here's the truth: You don't have to be in crisis to deserve support.
If you're wondering whether therapy might help, that's usually your answer. The fact that you're asking the question means something.

Here are some signs it's time to reach out:
You're struggling to function
Getting out of bed feels hard. Work feels overwhelming. Taking care of yourself feels impossible. You're white-knuckling your way through each day.
Your relationships are suffering
You're snapping at people you love, withdrawing from friends, or feeling disconnected from your partner. You want to show up better but don't know how.
You're using unhealthy coping mechanisms
Drinking more than usual, avoiding responsibilities, isolating, emotional eating, or other behaviors you know aren't helping - but you can't seem to stop.
You've been "fine" for too long
You tell everyone you're okay, but inside you're exhausted, anxious, sad, or overwhelmed. Performing "fine" when you're not is draining.
You want to grow
Therapy isn't just for crisis. It's for people who want to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, break old patterns, navigate life transitions, or just become the best version of themselves.
You've experienced something difficult
Loss, trauma, major life change, chronic stress, relationship problems - these don't just "go away" on their own. Talking to someone helps.
You keep thinking "I should probably talk to someone"
If this thought keeps coming up, listen to it. Your instinct is telling you something.

Here's what therapy is NOT:
❌ Only for people in crisis
❌ A sign of weakness
❌ Something you have to "qualify" for
❌ Only for "serious" mental illness
Here's what therapy IS:
✅ A space to process what you're going through
✅ Tools to manage stress, anxiety, or overwhelm
✅ Support through hard seasons
✅ Clarity when you feel stuck
✅ A place to be honest without judgment

You don't have to wait until you're drowning to ask for a life raft.
You don't have to hit rock bottom to deserve help.
You don't have to do this alone.
If you've been on the fence about therapy, this is your sign. You deserve support. You deserve to feel better.
