Life's messy sometimes, and that's okay. If you forgot your keys, spilled coffee on your shirt, and sent a text to the wrong person all before noon, you're not alone. We're all just winging it here.

Therapy is full of those 'aha!' moments, right? But sometimes, between sessions, it can feel like you need a little something to keep the momentum going. That’s where journaling comes in. ➡️ It’s a great way to unpack your thoughts, reflect on what came up in session, and maybe even stumble on new insights. Here are some prompts to keep going!

Speaking up about your mental health isn’t just brave—it’s contagious. 🌟 When you share, you inspire others to do the same. Bottling up emotions? That just makes things worse. Let's break the silence together. 💬

We loved this quote from Mental Health America!

09/25/2025

You are not broken and you don’t need to be "fixed." Therapy isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about having the support and tools to help you cope with life’s ups and downs. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

➡ If you’ve been waiting for a sign to reach out for help, consider this it. You don’t have to do it alone.

“There’s nothing more relieving than being yourself.” - Sunny Barkley, MSW, LGSW

At Ellie Mental Health, we believe therapy should be a space where people feel safe, affirmed, and truly seen-- especially for LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating identity, emotional health, and belonging.

In our latest Q&A, we spoke with Sunny Barkley, a q***r and neurodivergent therapist at Ellie, about:
🧠 How their identity shapes the way they practice
💬 What to look for in an affirming therapist
⚡ Why gender euphoria matters in identity exploration
❤️ Advice for q***r folks nervous about starting therapy
🌟 The power of representation in mental health care

Sunny’s words are a reminder that therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold, it can be deeply human, empowering, and full of compassion.

Whether you're questioning, coming out, or looking to support someone else, this is your invitation to show up just as you are. ➡️ Read the whole post on our blog!

Most of us listen to respond, not to understand.

Active listening is a skill, and it doesn't always come naturally. It means slowing down, staying present, and showing someone that their words matter. Here are a few tips:

👂 Put your phone away
⏸ Pause before responding
🧠 Reflect back what you hear
❓ Ask questions, not solutions
💬 Validate their feelings

Struggling to set boundaries without feeling like the bad guy?

This podcast episode is for anyone who's ever struggled to say no, felt drained by unclear expectations, or wondered how to protect their peace without burning bridges.

Therapists Miranda Barker, LICSW, Letisha Harris, MA and Madison Wozniak, LCSW have an honest, practical conversation inspired by the book "Set Boundaries, Find Peace" by Nedra Glover Tawwab.

We explore:
🔹 What healthy boundaries actually look like in real life
🔹 How trauma and guilt can make boundary-setting harder
🔹 The difference between time, material, emotional, and internal boundaries
🔹 How we've grown (and stumbled) through boundary work ourselves

Whether you’re a therapist, a client, or just someone navigating the messiness of relationships, this episode offers tools and takeaways you can use right away. Here's the link to the episode on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/07cgH1wdmbfORDCfHiT0Bp?si=73TM0KZzQlSqSCGyreN-lg
