Human suffering is one of the biggest reasons for inner chaos, introspection, growth and healing. It's really okay to take your time working on yourself, taking the time to heal along the way. Many choose to avoid their challenges, zipping to a false sense of "okayness" when there hasn't been any work done...just the passage of time and distraction creating a solid mirage of growth and healing, only to have old patterns return.

Embrace the you that isn't okay, and give them the love they deserve rather than wishing them gone.

It doesn't take much to get our lives off balance in the times we live in, and the su***de rates in our country are at some of the highest we have ever seen.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month

Take a moment to think if there is anyone in your life who could use a text, phone call, visit, or a hug. It is just as important for someone to have a friend connecting with them, as it is that they check in with a mental health professional when they are suicidal. You don't need to be trained in order to make a major difference for someone.

September is here, which means Bi Visibility Month is upon us!
People who identify as bisexual often have a deep and valid struggle in the LGBTQ+ community, and representation is so important for someone to be validated in their experience.
Let your you be you! And if you don't fit into any sort of box, that's okay. Labels can help some gain self-definition, or perhaps they're for someone else to know how to categorize you. They are also imaginary and a made up concept. Take what it's worth to you - We aren't packing any parts of you up in a box to be labeled anyway!

Now and then, I meet with a client who feels I am an exception to being an elder millennial, and that I could possibly be some anomaly out there who just has it all together. 🤣😂
Y'all...I'm not a therapist 24/7! It is a huge part of my life, and so is keeping it real😎 Have you SEEN IT OUT THERE?!
Today's words of wisdom: Balance your Self. Integrate fun into the daily grind. Say a few cuss words before holding it together as a professional, and the harsh world will have some cushion. Allow your inner child to play, and for your inner teenager to rebel before and/or after you operate from the adult Self. Balance your self-care with your work load, and you just might make it!

MAKING SPACE FOR THOSE WHO FEEL PUSHED OUT!!! Please share if you feel inclined!

I am a q***r therapist who is opening some appts exclusively for LGBTQ+ individuals. I work with some insurance companies, but not all unfortunately. I would love to become a resource for anyone whose mental health needs TLC.

I have a 90% q***r caseload, and I am always opening my doors for more people who have been closeted. The political climate is making it so hard for people to feel safe, so I want this to be known as a safe space to extend to your network who may need one. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Every person here exists, and is worthy of the appropriate health care they want to have.

Be the change you want to see in the world. There isn't much I can do about the big government as a small person, but we need to band together to keep our humanity strong, and to take care of those who need it. Take care of your neighbors out there 🙏❤️
