Here’s something people don’t say out loud enough…

Most people aren’t as sure as they look.

Not the ones with the titles.
Not the ones who seem like they have it all together.
Not even the ones you compare yourself to.

They’re figuring it out in real time. Just like you.

There’s this pressure to have it all mapped out… to know exactly what you’re doing, where you’re going, and how you’re going to get there. And when you don’t, it can feel like you’re the only one falling behind.

You’re not.

Growth is messy. Learning is uncomfortable. And yeah… sometimes it looks like trying, failing, and trying again.

That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
It means you’re actually doing it.

Keep going. Even when it feels loud. Even when it feels uncertain.

Casa Grande, we’re about to make it official.

One year in and we’re not slowing down.

What started as a decision to bring something different to this community turned into a full year of growth, tough conversations, real work, and showing up for people in ways that actually matter.

No fluff. No surface-level care. Just real therapy, real people, and a team that gives a damn.

And this ribbon cutting is happening thanks to the support of the Casa Grande Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Office. We’re grateful to be part of a community that actually shows up for local businesses.

So yeah… we think that’s worth celebrating.

May 7th
4–5PM Ribbon Cutting
5–7PM Meet the Team and Check Out the Space

1821 N Trekell Rd, Suite 5 Casa Grande

Come hang out. Meet the team. Ask questions. Or just put faces to the name you keep seeing online.

Drinks and light refreshments will be there.
Stop by for a few minutes or stay awhile.

If you’ve ever wondered what Northern Lights Therapy actually feels like in person… this is your chance.

What is Brainspotting?

It’s one of those things that sounds a little different… until you understand how powerful it actually is.

Brainspotting is a trauma-focused therapy that helps access and process experiences that are stored deeper in the brain. The stuff that doesn’t always come out just by talking about it.

It works by using your visual field to find “brainspots” connected to where emotions and trauma are held in the body. From there, your brain does the work it’s designed to do… process, release, and heal.

No forcing it.
No overexplaining it.
No having to find the “perfect words.”

Because let’s be real… a lot of what people carry, they don’t always have words for.

Brainspotting can be helpful for:
• Trauma and PTSD
• Anxiety and overwhelm
• Chronic stress
• Performance blocks
• Feeling stuck but not knowing why

It’s different than traditional talk therapy, and for a lot of people, it’s the thing that finally helps things shift.

If this is something you’re curious about, we have clinicians at Northern Lights Therapy trained in Brainspotting and actively using it in sessions.

Meet the faces behind Northern Lights Therapy.

Brianna Reinhold, LPC, CFRC, ERPSCC, Founder and Clinical Director.
Katlyn Lawson, LPC, Director of Clinical Training.

NLT didn’t just happen. It was built with intention, a lot of trial and error, and a shared vision of doing things differently in this field.

We both genuinely love what we do. Not in a surface-level, scripted kind of way. In the real, sometimes heavy, sometimes messy, but incredibly meaningful way that comes with this work.

We get to sit with people in some of their hardest moments and watch them find their way through it.

We get to be part of the process when things start to click and healing actually happens.

And we don’t take that lightly.

But it doesn’t stop there.

A huge part of what happens behind the scenes is building up the next generation of clinicians. Creating a space where they’re supported, challenged, and actually taught how to do this work well. Not just get by, but grow into confident, capable providers.

We’ve also put a lot into building an environment where people don’t dread coming to work. Where clinicians feel valued. Where they can show up as themselves and still be really damn good at what they do.

There’s a lot more that goes into running NLT than what people see on the outside.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy but keep putting it off… this is your nudge.

Meet Emery Collins, one of our clinicians at Northern Lights Therapy, currently seeing clients in our Chandler office.

Emery brings a grounded, real-life approach into sessions. The kind where you don’t feel like you have to filter yourself or have it all figured out before you walk in.

She’s a strong fit for:
• Adults navigating stress, burnout, or life transitions
• First responders or those connected to that world
• Kids and teens navigating their world in all aspects
• Anyone tired of “just getting through it” and ready to actually work through it

And if EMDR has been something you’ve been considering… Emery will be completing EMDR training in the coming months. Meaning her schedule is going to fill up fast once that’s added in.

So if you’ve been waiting for the “right time” or the “right fit”… this is probably it.

Learn more about Emery or request an appointment here:

Chandler currently has availability, but not for long.

You matter.

Not just on your good days.
Not just when you’re holding it all together.
Not just when other people understand you.

You matter when you’re overwhelmed.
You matter when you’re checked out.
You matter when you’re doing everything you can just to get through the day.

And you don’t have to earn that.

At Northern Lights Therapy, this isn’t just a tagline. It’s the standard. It’s how we show up, how we treat people, and how we do the work every single day.

If no one has told you lately… here it is again.

You matter.

If you’ve been looking for a therapist for your child or teen and keep hitting dead ends… this is your sign to stop scrolling.

Meet Eliana Stuart — one of our clinicians at Northern Lights Therapy who is currently accepting clients in our Casa Grande office.

Eliana works with kids and teens and brings a play-based, real-life approach into sessions. Which means this isn’t just “sit and talk about your feelings” therapy. It’s meeting them where they’re at, helping them actually open up, process what’s going on, and build skills that carry outside of the room.

She’s a great fit for:
• Kids who struggle to express what they’re feeling
• Teens navigating anxiety, stress, or life changes
• Parents who want support without feeling judged or talked at

Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. And finding the right fit matters more than anything.

You can learn more about Eliana or request an appointment here:
https://www.northernlightstherapyaz.com/eliana-stuart

Our Casa Grande office is actively accepting new clients right now, so if you’ve been waiting… don’t wait too long.

I’m heading out to Northern California again to serve as a volunteer clinician at the West Coast Post Trauma Retreat.

This is something I don’t take lightly.

The West Coast Post Trauma Retreat, through the First Responder Support Network, is a week-long, intensive program designed specifically for first responders dealing with the impact of trauma. It’s not your typical outpatient therapy. It’s deeper. More immersive. And built around people who understand the job, the culture, and what comes with it.

And being part of it… there’s really no way to fully put it into words.

Watching the work happen in that setting, seeing walls come down, seeing people start to process things they’ve carried for years… it’s powerful in a way that goes beyond what we typically get to see in weekly sessions.

It’s real. It’s raw. And it works.

I’m incredibly honored to be invited back and to be part of an organization that is truly committed to helping first responders heal, not just manage.

If you’re a first responder and you’ve been thinking about doing something more in depth, something that actually gets at the root of what you’re carrying, I highly recommend looking into this.

Shout out to someone who is doing some seriously powerful work in our community.

Dragonfly Wellness Solutions

Founded by Shani-Lee Wallis, who is bringing a completely different layer of healing into this space.

Shani-Lee is a nervous system and wellness coach and somatic breathwork practitioner who blends somatic work, breathwork, mindset, and real lived experience to help people reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and actually process what they’ve been carrying.

If you were at our You Matter Wellness Event, you already felt it.

She closed out the day with a somatic experience that people are still talking about.

And I’ll be honest… I’ve gone to her myself since then.

And I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Somatic breathwork isn’t just “deep breathing.” It’s intentional, guided work that helps release stored stress and trauma from the body, calm the nervous system, and create space for real emotional processing.

For a lot of people, it’s the missing piece. The part that talk therapy alone doesn’t always reach.

And having someone local in Maricopa offering this kind of work? That matters.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’ve tried everything else… this might be something worth looking into.

Since the news story aired Friday night, it’s been a mix of everything.

I’d be lying if I said there hasn’t been anxiety. Sitting in the unknown, wondering what comes next from the insurance side, isn’t exactly a comfortable place to be.

But at the same time… the response has been overwhelming in the best way.

The messages. The support. The validation.
People reaching out who get it.
Even former BCBS employees stepping forward, sharing their own experiences and confirming what so many of us have been quietly dealing with.

That part matters more than you know.

Because this isn’t just about me.
This is about providers across the board.
This is about clients who deserve access to real, quality care without barriers, confusion, or fear being built into the system.

And I’m not done speaking on it.

We as providers deserve better.
Our clients deserve better.
Our healthcare system needs to do better.

Right now, it’s not built for the people it’s supposed to serve. It’s built for profit at the top, and that’s a problem.

Providers and insurance companies should be working together. Not against each other. The goal should be helping people heal. Period.

If you have something to share, if you’ve had your own experience, if you just need to vent or connect, my inbox is open: brianna@northernlightstherapyaz.com

And please keep sharing the story. Keep talking about it. Keep pushing.

Awareness matters. Pressure matters.
That’s how change happens.

We ran Behind Closed Doors recently and the response was immediate. Clinicians asking for more. More conversation. More depth. More dates.

Because this topic is showing up. A lot.

Not always loud. Not always obvious. But it’s there in sessions with first responders who are trying to cope, shut things off, or just feel something different for a minute. And most of the time, it’s getting missed or brushed off.

This training isn’t about shaming or overpathologizing. It’s about actually understanding what’s going on, how it connects to stress and trauma, and how to address it in a way that doesn’t shut your client down.

If you’ve sat in session and thought, “There’s more here but I don’t know how to go there,” this is that space.

We added another date because you all asked for it.

June 22
Virtual
3 NBCC hours

Come learn how to have the conversations most people avoid.
