The American Counseling Association (ACA) is profoundly disappointed in today's ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Colorado's ban on conversion therapy. Despite the ruling, the evidence remains clear: conversion therapy is harmful, discredited, and unsupported by science, and its risks to client well-being are well documented. ACA, SAIGE and other leading mental health organizations remain committed to ethical, evidence-based, and affirming care, and will continue to oppose practices that violate these standards of care.

With the rise of use of AI, particularly for mental health support, I've mulled creating a post like this for a while. It may be more controversial than some of my previous posts, but it's an important conversation that needs to be had. Read on for some of my thoughts on utilizing AI for mental health support.

As most people that interact with this practice know, we have a healthy and regular interaction with technology in many forms. We love hearing about client's favorite shows, the recent video game they are enjoying, how they can connect with loved ones near and far through written and video means, ho...

As March winds down, take a moment to check in with yourself:

What has felt heavy lately?
What has felt hopeful?
What do you need more of next month?

Self-reflection isn’t selfish, it’s how we stay emotionally grounded.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, this could be your gentle sign to take the first step.

Support changes things. 🌱

Teens today carry a lot:
Academic pressure.
Social media comparison.
Friendship stress.
Big questions about identity and future.

Sometimes they don’t want advice, they want a place where they don’t have to perform.

Therapy offers teens a neutral, supportive space to talk, process, and learn coping skills that actually work in real life.

If your teen seems overwhelmed, support now can build resilience for years to come.

They don’t have to figure it out alone. 💬

Thanks for being you.

Many thanks to all our friends, family, and colleagues who helped us celebrate our open house today. It was so fun to see so many familiar faces, catch up, and meet new people. 💚

Have you noticed how hard it can be to rest without guilt?

Many people were taught that productivity equals worth. So slowing down can feel uncomfortable even wrong.

But rest isn’t laziness.
It’s regulation.
It’s repair.
It’s mental health care.

This week, try asking yourself:
“What would feel restorative right now?”
"Where can I do a little less?"
"Where could I grab even a few moments of rest at a time?"

Then give yourself permission to do it.

Your nervous system will thank you. 🌿

We're just over a month in our new location. My, how time does fly. We are starting to really feel settled in and have gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback about our space. We are just as pleased as could be, and share some of our learnings below...

It’s SHRIMP DAY! 🦐 Their arrival has been highly anticipated. Today they bravely enter their new habitat, to meet their snail tankmate, and to be enjoyed by clients and clinicians alike. 💚

A gentle reminder for adults this week:

You are allowed to outgrow coping strategies that once helped you survive.

People-pleasing.
Avoiding conflict.
Pushing through exhaustion.
Staying silent to keep the peace.

These habits often protected you once. But now they may be keeping you stuck.

Therapy can help you build new ways of coping that honor who you are today, not just who you had to be before.

Growth isn’t betrayal. It’s healing. 💬

For kids and teens, emotions don’t always come out as words.

Sometimes they look like:
• Meltdowns after school
• “I don’t care” attitudes
• Headaches or stomachaches
• Wanting to be alone more than usual

These can be signs that a young person is overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling socially.

What helps most isn’t fixing everything, it’s creating a safe place where they feel heard.

If your child or teen seems off lately, therapy can give them tools to understand their feelings and build confidence.

Support early. It makes a lifelong difference. 🌱
