Part raw memoir, part hands-on workbook - this one belongs on your reading list. In Stop Talking About Your Childhood, Beth pulls no punches, offering a bare-naked look at her childhood and early adult years alongside the exact methods she created and used to break free from her own limiting beliefs. It hooks you from page one and delivers practical, powerful tools you can actually use. This is the book we’ve been waiting for Beth to write.

As both a therapist and the storyteller, Beth is uniquely positioned to go there - sharing an open and honest account of her life while making the insights feel tangible and accessible. Her story is deeply relatable and the guidance is clear. You walk away feeling understood, less alone, and better equipped to find the clarity you’ve been searching for.

The book is available here: https://bit.ly/4aiXyyV

Aging, Botox, and self-acceptance - yes, we’re going there.

In our upcoming podcast with Youthful Magnolia, we talk about the reality that self-care can look different for everyone - from therapy to aesthetics - and you get to decide what that looks like for you.

Here’s a sneak peek of Heather sharing her perspective.

Busy kid. Packed calendar. Zero wiggle room. We get it.

Meet Casye LeRay, the Vervewell therapist who finally makes "fitting it all in" actually possible. Casye works with kids (10+), teens, and young adults. With a background in education and counseling, she doesn't just "talk" to kids - she understands how they actually function in the real world.

The logistics (aka the lifesaver part):
- After-hours appointments? Yes.
- Weekend availability? Yes.
- Telehealth? Always.

Translation: Therapy that fits your family’s life, not the other way around.

Using CBT, ART techniques, and Solution-Focused Therapy - and occasionally a therapy dog - Casye helps young clients manage stress, set boundaries, and build a sense of self in a space that feels safe and relatable.

Getting your kid help shouldn't be a source of more stress. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if Casye is the right fit for your kid (and your schedule). https://vervewell.org/our-team/casye-leray/

How are those New Year goals holding up?

By now, the “fresh start” energy of January can feel distant—and for many, resolutions have quietly faded. That often comes with guilt, pressure, or the sense that something has already been “failed.”

Vervewell Counseling’s Beth Clardy Lewis, LPC-S and Casye LeRay, LPC sat down for an honest conversation about why resolutions fall apart so quickly—and how to rethink goals in a way that actually supports mental health. From shifting perfection-driven resolutions to gentle, realistic intentions, they share six grounding strategies to help you reset without the shame spiral.

If January didn’t go as planned, you’re not behind. You’re human. And growth doesn’t follow a calendar.

Read the blogand the six practical ways to keep moving forward—without the pressure. https://vervewell.org/this-wont-be-done-by-january/

Family drama isn’t random. It’s inherited. Patterns get passed down and normalized until they explode, or worse, until everyone learns to live with the tension. They’re emotional heirlooms nobody asked for.

For some families, trying to talk just creates more chaos. This weight is felt most heavily when roles shift between adult children and their parents. Suddenly, talk of aging or independence feels like a minefield. Beth and Heather help families notice these invisible scripts. Through multi-generational therapy, they provide the space to reset boundaries and turn how you communicate from 'the way it’s always been' into 'the way we want it to be.'

If you're ready to leave the old heirlooms behind and reconnect, DM us or visit https://vervewell.org/contact/ to start your journey.

Your past is running a script you didn’t write. Ever wonder why you keep dating the same person with a different face, or why that low-level anxiety feels like your permanent roommate? That’s your subconscious at work.

Psychodynamic therapy sessions with Blake explore the reality that our biggest struggles stem from unresolved conflicts we’ve spent years avoiding.

Blake helps you face the deeper parts of yourself that have been running the show from the shadows. He guides you through the "uncomfortable" so you can finally stop reacting and start choosing. It’s not just "insight." It’s better sleep, less tension, and finally feeling grounded in your own skin.

Tired of your patterns calling the shots? To take back control - or if you’re just curious about Blake’s style - let's connect. He is currently available for both in-person and telehealth appointments.

Today, make a promise to yourself.

A promise to tend to what’s beneath the noise. To stop white-knuckling your way through stress. To take your inner world seriously - not just when things fall apart.

Prioritizing self-care and therapy isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about understanding your patterns and reconnecting with who you are when life isn’t running you.

At Vervewell, therapy is a place to slow down and to do soulful work that carries into real life. No pressure to have it all figured out - just a commitment to showing up for yourself. We promise to show up for you just as hard.

Today, let your goal be presence. Growth. Care that lasts. Reach out to get connected with a great team that's fiercely on your side. https://vervewell.org/contact/
