✨ Today I had the honor of leading a training with Maternity Care Coalition for doulas on the tender topic of grief and loss — how to support others through it, and how to honor our own.

Many of the doulas shared their own experiences of loss, and it reminded me how deeply intertwined grief and compassion are in this work. We hold space for others, even while carrying our own stories.

It’s no coincidence that this training happened in the fall — a season of letting go, of change, of quiet transformation. 🍂 Nature reminds us that release is a form of renewal.

Today was heavy. But it was also healing. We left reminded that grief isn’t something to rush through — it’s something to honor, witness, and move through gently, together. 🕊️

Meet Destiny!!!

We’re so excited to introduce Destiny, one of our compassionate bilingual therapists here at Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting.

Destiny (English & Spanish speaking) is deeply passionate about supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples as they navigate life’s transitions, relationship challenges, and the complex intersections of identity, culture, and mental health.

Her approach blends warmth, authenticity, and cultural sensitivity—creating a safe, affirming space where clients can show up fully as themselves, without needing to shrink or explain who they are. 💛

Whether you’re healing from generational wounds, seeking balance and self-compassion, or learning to strengthen your relationships, Destiny walks alongside you with care, humor, and understanding—because healing shouldn’t mean doing it alone.

Let’s be real — therapy isn’t just for talking about stress or sadness.
It’s also the space where you can unpack the real stuff — the thoughts, habits, and experiences you’ve maybe never said out loud.

Here are 6 things you might hesitate to bring up… but absolutely can:
💬 Sex & intimacy
💬 Drugs & alcohol
💬 Religion & spiritual doubt
💬 Family secrets & resentments
💬 Money & financial shame
💬 Anger & those “dark” thoughts

Your therapist’s job isn’t to judge you — it’s to help you explore, understand, and grow from your truth. Every part of you is welcome here. 🌿
