The good news about trauma is that we have neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticsity means we can learn new patterns, soften trauma responses, and practice regulation.

Therapy, medication, sleep, and repetition all support change.

🧠 Your brain is adaptable—even if it learned survival early.

🐾 Giving Back Heals More Than One Heart 🐾

Recently, 30 dogs were rescued and brought into our local shelter in need of care, safety, and stability. Supporting shelters—whether through donations, fostering, or adoption—helps give these animals a second chance at life.

Caring for animals isn’t just good for them—it’s good for us, too.
Research and lived experience show that helping others, especially vulnerable animals, can:
• reduce stress
• increase feelings of purpose
• support emotional regulation
• foster connection and compassion

For many people, animals provide comfort, routine, and a sense of 🐾 Giving Back Heals More Than One Heart 🐾

Our office proudly donated $200 to help with the costs of care.

💔 Holding Space for Our Community 💔

Life has been incredibly heavy lately. In the past month, our community has experienced the loss of two teenagers to su***de, and the weight of child deaths is always profound.

We want to take a moment to honor the families, friends, and loved ones affected by these tragedies. Our hearts are with you as you navigate this unimaginable pain.

We also recognize the first responders, law enforcement officers, and case workers who are deeply impacted by these events. Your courage, compassion, and dedication do not go unnoticed.

If you have had thoughts of su***de, please know YOU BELONG HERE. It might be hard - this chapter, this month, this season, etc. but please STAY.
