✨ I love me a good ol’ mantra…

I’m not cold.
I’m clear.
I’m no longer available to things and people who make me feel like s**t.

Peace > performance.
Clarity > chaos.

I’m no longer available for anything that pulls me out of peace.
No longer entertaining dynamics that drain my spirit.
No longer shrinking to stay connected.

Boundaries are sacred.
And self-respect is a love language.

When we start saying no to what hurts, we’re actually saying yes to what heals.

This isn’t about cutting people off,
It’s about coming home to ourselves.

Availability is energy.

Choose where yours goes.

For a long time I wanted to please others so I could feel loveable and worthy.

Now I know that those things are inherent.

My boundaries remind me of that.

You’re a can too.

I believe in you,

~Avi

☀️ Your morning is your foundation for the day.

Own it.

Co-create it.

If you’re not a morning person, set yourself up for success the evening before.

Gift yourself a morning routine/ritual where you feel you can greet the morning.

Take it slow and easy.

Infuse your morning with a new breath.

The rest of your day will thank you.

You’re worth it.

✨ Sometimes all it takes is a perspective shift.

I’m proud of my plants.

And.

Equally true.

My plants are proud of me.

There are allies everywhere.

✨ 🍄 ✨ Engaging in psych*delic work without preparation and integration is akin to attempting a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the bread.

You’re left holding the contents—uncontained, disorganized, and difficult to manage.

Psych*delic experiences, while potentially profound, can also be non-specific amplifiers. Without a clear therapeutic frame, they can evoke unresolved trauma, overwhelming emotions, or dissociated states—without the tools to process them.

Preparation creates the structure: intention, safety, therapeutic alliance.

Integration is how we interpret meaning, create coherence, and apply insight to lived experience. So the journey can be actualized, and the medicine given ear.

The psych*delic itself is not all of the healing.

Healing is what happens when we metabolize that journey with care, context, and support.

Reach out to learn more.

I believe in you,

~Avi

✨ “Shinui makom, shinui mazal.”
In Kabbalah: a change in place, a change in luck…

Clinical research tells us the nervous system is shaped by environment—

that context impacts mood, memory, and meaning.
And Kabbalah tells us something similar,
in the language of the spirit.

Sometimes we don’t need to fix ourselves.
We need to relocate—internally or externally.
Shift the scenery.
Walk a different path to the same self.
Let the nervous system breathe in unfamiliar safety.

New surroundings can invite new neural patterns.
New patterns invite new possibilities.

It’s not just luck that changes.
It’s perception.
It’s the story the body tells itself in silence.

I believe in you,

~Avi

✨ Finding a therapist?

Trust the vibe over the résumé.

The right fit isn’t about credentials —

it’s about how your nervous system responds.

Do you soften?

Do you feel safe to be your full self?

Research shows:
the relationship *is* the therapy.
More than any method or modality.

So yes — treat it like speed dating.
Be picky.
This is sacred work.

You deserve a space where your truth can breathe.

I believe in you,

~Avi

✨Exciting news! I’ve partnered with to help clients access their out-of-network benefits for potential reimbursement on therapy.

So, what does that mean? Here’s the breakdown:

✨ If your insurance includes out-of-network benefits, they may cover a portion of your therapy costs—even if I’m not directly contracted with them.

✨ You pay for sessions upfront and then submit a claim for reimbursement.

✨ Once you meet your out-of-network deductible (e.g., $1,000), your insurance might cover 50-80% of session costs.

✨ This gives you the freedom to choose the right therapist for you—not just the ones in-network.

If you’re unsure about your benefits, Mentaya makes it easy to check. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

I’m hoping this will create more accessibility for potential clients :)

My Dear Son,

Slow your breathing.

What’s the rush? Why so timely? Why so early?

Where does this drive come from and where is it taking you?

I have a profound ability to hold you as tightly as you’d let, but you don’t allow the calm touch to truly be that, calm.

How do I encourage your furnace to keep burning proudly while handing you an extinguisher for your anxiety?

Alas, as I breathe and ground my body, I recognize that what’s yours is yours, and what’s mine can be integrated by you through my actions, not my words.

My slow breath becomes your slow breath, or, at the very least, an invitation for intentionality and a sense of home in your body and breath.

So, in truth, this is not a letter to you. It is a letter to me.
A welcoming for me to truly embody the safe father I long to be.

The father I am.

My dear Avi,

Slow your breath.

What’s the rush? Why so serious? Breathe.

This is exactly it. This is perfect.

I’m grateful for you.

Embody this sensation.
Be breath. Inhale, hold. Exhale, hold. Be.
