Mindful Transformations Counseling

Going into 2026, many of us are feeling the squeeze- insurance premiums rising, the cost of living climbing, and very little room to breathe.

Prioritizing your mental health shouldn’t be a luxury. It’s an investment in your well-being, resilience, and ability to keep showing up for your life.

We believe care should be accessible and human. That’s why we offer sliding scale options, accept insurance, and work with clients on payment plans- because thoughtful care matters.

You deserve support, especially now. 🤍

The holidays can bring joy and connection- but they can also bring stress, grief, loneliness, and overwhelm. If you’re feeling the holiday blues, you’re not alone.

✨ Gentle ways to support your mental health this season:

• Lower the pressure - everything doesn’t have to be perfect

• Set boundaries with intention (it’s okay to say no or leave early)

• Honor your feelings - joy and sadness can coexist

• Stay connected, even with one safe person

• Limit comparison - what you see online isn’t the full picture

• Ask for support when you need it

If the holidays feel heavy this year, you don’t have to carry it alone. Support is available, and your mental health matters - during the holidays and beyond 🤍

Check out the adorable Pauly the Pigeon from NYC… a character borne out of the mind of my friend, ! A vibrant children’s book telling the tale of a curious pigeon looking for a taste of foreign flavors! I can relate 😉 Who knew I would love haggis… but here we are! Lol

A great book if you have travel plans with a young one and want to encourage excitement rather than anxiety about travel! Or, have a child who is scared to fly? This adventure book could help!

Racism doesn’t just hurt communities- it impacts mental health.
Chronic stress, anxiety, and even trauma can stem from daily experiences of discrimination and microaggressions.

Let’s stop keeping the impact of racism and other bigotry out of the therapy room… it absolutely needs to be part of the work of healing… 🖤

Healing starts with awareness.
Talking about racism’s mental health impact helps break the stigma, validate experiences, and push for real change in mental health care access and equity.

If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out to MTC today.
