We often think of community and friendship interchangeably, but they serve different roles in our lives.

🌼 True community makes space for people who disagree, works through differences, and leans on everyone’s unique skills and resources to support shared goals, like helping a local library thrive or feeding our neighbors.

🌱 Friendship isn’t about achieving a goal, but about connection, reciprocity, and trust built on an individual level with healthy boundaries.

We all need both personal friendships and supportive communities to feel fully seen, nourished, and connected as humans 💙

Whether you are starting individual or relationship therapy, you should be proud of yourself for taking the first steps toward building stronger relationships with yourself and those you care about.

🪴The first few sessions are also an opportunity for you to get a feel for your therapist, and remember to trust yourself if they don’t feel like the right fit.

When looking for a therapist, it’s important to choose an environment that best supports your healing.

🌿 Telehealth can increase access and flexibility, offering a wider range of options, but not everyone has a quiet, private, or even safe space for deeper therapeutic work at home.

🌱 In-person therapy offers a contained, confidential environment to connect with your therapist and yourself, though it may be less accessible for those with busy schedules, transportation barriers, or health concerns.

🌼Some practices offer telehealth, in-person sessions, or a hybrid approach to meet different needs.

If telehealth feels like the best option for you, Hold the Vision Therapy offers virtual support for individuals and families living in Illinois and Indiana 🧡

According to the 2022 U.S. Census, nearly 40 million people in the U.S. are living in poverty, which disproportionately impacts BIPOC communities, disabled people, children, and older adults.

🌻 Access to therapy should not be determined by income, yet financial barriers, inflexible systems, and a lack of shared resources continue to limit who is able to receive care.

🪴 Therapy practices play a critical role in addressing these gaps by examining power, privilege, and access, and by adapting care to reflect the realities people are living in.

Once you’ve found a therapist who feels like they could be a good fit, a consultation call is a helpful next step to see how it actually feels to connect with them.

🪴Beyond logistics and credentials, it’s important to work with a therapist who is authentic and equipped to understand your identities, lived experiences, and the systems that impact your life.

🌱 Exploring a therapist’s website and social media can also offer insight into whether their values and messaging align with the care they provide.

Neurodivergent people are often asked to adapt, mask, or explain themselves in spaces that were never built with them in mind.

🌿 These affirmations are here to remind you that your needs are real, your experiences are valid, and you deserve to be seen and believed exactly as you are.

🌻 In therapy, you deserve care that does not pathologize you, honors your communication style, and understands that distress is often a response to inaccessible systems, not a personal failing.
