Amy Meek Family Therapy

Our services range from individual, family, & couple's therapy to child, adolescent and adult therapy Finding that balance is so essential.

In life, it appears that we struggle in various ways of trying to either find or maintain a balance. One must grow and continue to assess and evaluate emotionally, spiritually, professionally, interpersonally, and in so many other dimensions as well. I believe that God brings us together to learn from one another. We all offer strengths, and building from those is often more benefial than only focusing on the negatives. Bringing up our motivation, confidence, while lowering our reactivity and defenses can significantly assist us in progressing and learning from one another. A start is more awareness of what we want to change. A viewpoint of what we can take responsibility for or action to do versus deciding what others should be doing instead, will provide us with an achievable outcome.

We often move through difficult seasons on autopilot—doing what needs to be done, holding everyone together, and ignoring our own signals.

This is your invitation to pause and check in.
Not because something is wrong—but because your well-being matters.

If this resonates, you’re not alone.
Many of us are carrying more than we let on.

Share this with someone who might need a moment of softness today.

If this season feels heavy, you’re not imagining it.
Stress accumulates quietly—especially when we’re holding space for others while trying to keep ourselves steady.

These slides are a reminder to pause—not to fix, not to perform—but to notice.
Notice your body.
Notice your breath.
Notice what you’re carrying that may not be yours to hold.

Gentle awareness is often the first step toward relief.
You’re allowed to slow down here.

Pause and Check In

Today, notice the tone of your inner narrator.
Is it guarding you from danger that’s real—
or keeping you from something that could help you grow?

Fear often shows up disguised as protection:

“Don’t try—you’ll fail.”
“If you let go, everything will fall apart.”
But curiosity opens the door to possibility:

“I wonder what I might learn if I try.”
“What if things turn out better than I expected?”
Your inner voice matters. The more we notice its tone, the more we can shift from fear to curiosity—and step into growth with compassion.

What does your inner narrator sound like today?

Whose story are you living?

Sometimes the beliefs we carry aren’t really ours.
They might come from:

Family expectations
Cultural scripts

Old wounds or past experiences

The core message is this:

You get to pause.
You get to ask, “Is this really my story—or one I picked up along the way?”
You get to decide what story you’ll write next.
Healing begins when we stop living out someone else’s script and start choosing the narrative that feels true, freeing, and aligned.

Connection is where regulation begins. 💙
DIR® FEDC 2—Engagement & Relating—is the foundation of emotional growth.
It’s the capacity to share attention, connect, and engage with others meaningfully.

This capacity develops in infancy—but it matters at every age.
Whether you're helping a toddler regulate through shared play, a teen navigate friendships, or reconnecting in your own adult relationships—emotional engagement is key.

Every developmental stage offers new chances to build (or rebuild) this capacity.

What does healthy engagement look like for you—or your child—right now?

This Month, We Honor
the strength, stories, and struggles of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
Let’s make room for mental health care that respects culture, identity, and lived experience.

Did you know?
Only 38% of Black adults with any mental illness receive mental health services in a given year — compared to 56% of White adults.

These disparities are not about individual effort. They reflect systemic barriers like limited access to culturally competent providers, stigma, financial hurdles, and historical mistrust.

We can shift the narrative:
Elevate BIPOC-led wellness and healing spaces
Support culturally responsive mental health providers
Advocate for access, justice, and equity in every system
Mental health is a right.
Healing is not meant to happen in isolation— healing happens when we walk together.

Not all grief is loud.
Some grief shows up quietly—in overthinking, exhaustion, withdrawal…
In the things you can’t say out loud but carry every day.

Whether it’s grief for a person, a version of yourself, a relationship, or a future you hoped for—
💔 If it matters to you, it’s valid.

You don’t have to explain it.
You don’t have to perform it.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
Let’s hold space for the grief that hides behind smiles, strength, and silence.
You are not alone in this. 🖤

Ever feel torn between two opposite feelings? Like part of you wants to speak up, and another part wants to stay silent? That’s a polarity—two parts pulling in different directions, both trying to help. Here’s how to meet them with care:

Pause & Notice: “I’m feeling two things at once.”

Name Both Sides: “One part wants comfort. Another wants to protect.”

Get Curious, Not Critical: “What are you afraid would happen if you didn’t do your job?”

Hold Both with Compassion: You don’t have to choose. You can listen. You’re not broken for feeling conflicted. You’re layered, protective, and growing.

Noticing Polarities: When Two Opposites Live Inside You

You can want rest and feel guilt.
You can crave closeness and want to run.
You can feel brave and scared at the same time.

These inner contradictions are called polarities—
Not problems to fix, but parts to understand.

Both experiences are valid.
Both are trying to protect you in their own way.
When we stop picking sides and start listening, healing begins.

On this 4th of July, let’s celebrate more than fireworks.

Let’s celebrate the quiet courage of healing.
The freedom to say no.
The strength to rest.
The right to feel.

For some, today brings joy.
For others, it stirs grief or overwhelm.
Both are true. Both are valid.

💙 However you're spending this day, may it include space for your well-being.

Holding two truths softens shame, deepens empathy, and reminds us:
We are allowed to be human.

You can be grateful and still grieving.
You can love someone and feel hurt.
You can be strong and still need support.

Healing deepens when we stop choosing between our feelings and start making space for all of them.

You don’t have to pick just one truth—you’re allowed to hold both.
