Celebrating this amazing team on the dedicated Madison, AL Women-Owned Business Day 🥳

I didn't make an all-woman team on purpose, but the outcome has been awesome. It's incredible to watch the diverse collection of woman come together for a common goal of serving people.

I'm SO proud of what we do, how they show up, and all the ways they serve Alabama.

5 Tips for Family Collaboration

As families face new transitions in life, it's so important to take time to continue connecting and to take stock of your resources as a group. With the passing of time, healthy boundaries provide the flexibility that allows for growth and support where needed. Change can be scary, but healthy relationships allow for collaboration that leads to resilience.

Acceptance of reality with a solid understanding of everyone's capabilities, capacity, and values to create realistic expectations.

Commitment to change that embraces rolling consent or a willingness to engage in agreed activities with genuine interest rather than forced participation.
Build trust and effectiveness by gaining a better understanding of strengths, values, and resources to enhance positive interactions.

Identify the key components of each individual person's challenges with a goal of finding ways to accommodate or modify things in a way that disperses the familial load in a sustainable manner.

Create opportunities for autonomy and connection as a way to allow for personal strengths to shine while reinforcing a shared sense of pride and safety.

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are” - quote often attributed to e. e. Cummings

This is a quote I’ve used to contextualize my own life, at times. I find it relevant to the function family therapy can play in unburdening expectations, roles, and identities assigned to us in a family system and choosing courageously to grow into who we are outside of others’ designations. In therapy with me, this often sounds like dropping the “shoulds” we do not realize we’re holding.

30 Days to Thrive with ADHD by Dr. Alok Kanojia (Audible Original)

I believe that this book is PHENOMENAL for both adults and teens! It fits our mission at Solid Ground because we love providing our clients with tools that they can apply to their everyday lives. I LOVE THIS BOOK because it gives my clients 30 short 6-12 minute daily episodes that help individuals transition from simply surviving with ADHD to actively thriving by changing self-narratives and opening their environment. And because it is an Audible book, it’s SO perfect for the everyday busy life!

Jordan here!

Lately, I’ve been noticing how many people are living like they have to hit a homerun in every area of their life.

Work? Homerun.
Relationships? Homerun.
Parenting? Homerun.
Healing? Homerun.

And if it’s not? It feels like striking out.

Perfectionism often looks like drive or ambition. On the outside, it can seem responsible and high-achieving. But underneath, it’s usually anxiety — whispering things like:

“If I’m not exceptional, I’m not enough.”

“If I mess up, people will see I’m not capable.”

“My worth depends on how well I perform.”

Living with that kind of pressure is exhausting. There’s always another standard. Another swing. Another way you could have done better.

But in baseball — and in life — you don’t have to hit a homerun every time you step up to the plate. Walks count. Singles count. Getting on base still moves you forward.

In my work, I help clients slow that cycle down. We explore where those standards came from, how anxiety fuels them, and how to build a more compassionate way of measuring success.

You don’t have to swing for the fences every day.

Sometimes getting on base is more than enough. ❤

Excited to use our series "Meet Your Therapist" to help you get to know our new colleague, Caroline! We love learning more about our team and feel it is a great way for you to get to know her to see if Caroline is a good fit for your therapy needs!

First up, we always ask, What brought you to the field of Marriage and Family Therapy?

I always tell people that the field found me. During my undergraduate studies at Auburn University, I enrolled in a class called "Patterns of Family Interaction" to fulfill a requirement for my major not knowing what a great passion for this field I would soon develop. This class provided language and data to explain many of my own autobiographical experiences living in a family, and I could not learn enough about the topic. I felt a great pull towards the idea of studying and helping families navigate their relationships as a professional and decided to formally pursue Marriage and Family Therapy as a career soon after.

What’s trending in the therapy room?

Government-induced stress. 🙃

A lot of us are feeling overwhelmed, unheard, and out of alignment with the decisions being made at the top.
When there's a disconnect between our values and the decisions being made, your nervous system registers it.
You’re not “crazy” or “annoying” or “too much” for caring.
You’re human.
If you’ve been feeling this too, you can take up space here.

Rachel here!

As the week was leading up to International Women's Day - I desperately wanted to write something that would do justice to the incredible women I work with... and every time I tried to put it together, I just found myself in a puddle of tears of gratitude. And if you know this team, you know ❤

But today, let me just say - Hannah, Magdaline, Sarah Beth, Dalal, Elizabeth, Jordan, Jasmine & Caroline - you all are the heartbeat of this business. You keep me growing, keep me laughing, motivate me to be a better person, business owner, supervisor, therapist, wife and mom. I learn from you all daily 🥹

You have held my hands, shoulders, and tears through some of my biggest challenges over the past 8 years and seamlessly switched to celebrating our accomplishments. You fill in the gaps, pick up the slack, go with my hairbrained ideas and do so with a smile on your faces... 😭🫶 Each of you represent the perfect slice of what Solid Ground needed to be. You each add the exact something that was missing. You do women everywhere proud.

I'm beyond amazed at what you accomplish week in and week out as women, wives, mothers, therapists, and all the other roles you so gracefully balance. I'm in awe of all of you. I'm honored to do this work alongside you. I'm grateful for your friendship, your yes to Solid Ground, and mostly to your presence in my life.

Today, ladies, I celebrate you 🥰

Jasmine here!

As I work with teens and young adults, I’ve noticed that there are 5 life skills that should be practiced often. These are essential skills that should be relied on again and again. My goal is to prepare teens and young adults with the tools to navigate life’s biggest challenges.

These 5 life skills are:

Emotional Intelligence- understanding and managing huge feelings.
Growth mindset- learning from mistakes instead of shutting down.
Resilience- getting back up after disappointment.
Adaptability- adjusting when things change.
Confidence- trusting themselves even when it’s hard.

If you could use some support developing what these look like for your teen, I'd love to help. You can reach me at:

Back with you for Meet Your Therapist, today we are talking about what Jordan loves about her career and what she hopes to achieve with every client!

One thing I find rewarding about this career is being there for her clients through both the good days and the challenging ones. I find it incredibly rewarding to help clients navigate life’s twists and turns, celebrating their successes—big or small—and witnessing them grow into the best versions of themselves!

When working with any client I hope to bring my signature “granny style”: warm, caring, and always ready to listen, sometimes with a touch of gentle tough love when needed. I strive to make therapy a welcoming, safe, and even slightly fun space, where clients feel fully seen, understood, and free to be themselves. 😁
