We are so grateful to have one more counselor associate joining us! Meet Larissa Narcisse, LPC Associate, supervised by Casey Davids, M.Ed. & LPC-S

“I help those with life transitions, low self esteem, people-pleasing & boundaries. I work with teens, young adults and older. My approach is person-centered, blending Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based practices to help clients strengthen self-awareness, develop healthier coping tools, and reconnect with their values.

Whether they’re a teen navigating big emotions or a woman balancing too many roles at once, I want to help them feel grounded, understood, and more like themselves again.Healing happens through genuine connection, curiosity, and collaboration. I work from a trauma-informed lens, empowering clients to explore their emotions, patterns, and goals in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.”

Larissa currently offers Walk and Talk therapy in Crosby, Texas and virtual sessions! Her availability includes evenings and some Saturday options. Click the link in our bio and go to our website to get in touch with her! Welcome, Larissa!

It’s 2026 and we are so glad you made it to another year! ✨

Today we’re taking the time to put the spotlight on the wonderful founder of Holistic Solutions: Kim Knox, LMFT and 200 RYT! 👇

“I have been in private practice for 7 years, and I’ve worked with all different kinds of individuals, couples, and families. The foundation of my work centers around treating the whole person, including the systems you are in. A few years ago I began to notice the interconnectivity between our bodies and our mental health, yet our society does not look at the whole person when being treated. I set out to make a few changes to the way I work with people. I received my 200 hour yoga teacher certification and I’ve been integrating yoga practices in certain mental health treatments.

My goal is to integrate health and wellness on a full scale, working with practitioners across the board, to create a cohesive and comprehensive treatment plan that is centered to you.”

If you would like to connect with Kim, use any of the contact methods above or the link in our bio (you can DM us, too!).

We hope your 2026 is off to a great start and we hope you take us with you into this new year!

“This food is the gift of the universe, I receive it with gratitude. I am mindful of my health and how this food serves myself and ultimately the universe.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

This quote can be used as part of the practice of mindful eating. It emphasizes the journey that food has to go through to reach our plates. Thinking of all the parts involved in receiving and enjoying our food can help us connect with the food itself, with our bodies, and with the present moment. We may rarely stop to appreciate our food and how it nourishes us, especially when we perceive food negatively. Food is medicine, and taking care of our body is part of taking care of our mental health.

Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to feel anxiety, shame, or other negative emotions around food, especially during the holidays. Mindful eating can be a daily practice that you include in your daily life to offset those negative emotions and feel more present and connected. If you want to try practicing mindful eating, here are seven detailed steps:

1. Check in with your body and current emotional state before eating (eg. What is your mood? Are you physically hungry?)

2. Acknowledge you are choosing to consume. Notice and name the food and drinks you are choosing to consume as well as what the benefits are you are seeking to gain such as nutrition, enjoyment, or as part of communal occasion to strengthen social bonds.

3. Honor and connect to your meal. Consider the extraordinary creation process of food and think about the whole process from Earth to plate.
(You can use the quote above to give gratitude to connect to the meal and yourself).

4. Engage curiously with your food through your senses. Notice the colors, textures, arrangement, and smell of the food.
(You can use the tasting wheel at the end of the post to apply descriptor words).

5. Savor each bite and chew thoroughly which helps you slow down your rate of eating and fully experience the flavors and textures.

6. Slow down your rate of eating, such as by putting your utensils down or taking sips of water between each bite.

7. Limit distractions and avoid mindless eating (while driving, working, viewing a screen).

Congratulations! You made it to the midst of the holiday season! While it can be a wonderful time filled with holiday cheer, it can also come with a never ending to do list. Here’s a little reminder of ways to “fill your cup” during these busy weeks. Taking care of ourselves not only helps us, but it also means we can be the best version of ourselves to everyone else around us.

From our family to yours, we wish you a happy Thanksgiving 🍁! We hope you get to rest, feel thankful, and enjoy some good food with good company. Have a great day!

This week we are reminded to be thankful, but sometimes it can be really hard to feel gratitude when we are struggling, when life is hard, or when things are just not going right.

Gratitude doesn’t always come easy, and sometimes we really need to be mindful about it to feel it. Wether gratitude is something you have practiced for a long time, or it’s something new that you are implementing in your life, we want to remind you of ways that we can find it even during hardship.

We hope this post helps, and we are sending you a reminder that we are thankful for YOU! Happy Thanksgiving break everyone! 🍁🤍

Have you noticed that it’s getting darker sooner? 🍂⛅️❄️
Maybe you’ve been feeling sleepy, a little sad, or just unmotivated. It actually makes a lot of sense to feel this way right now!

Some of us may notice that we slow down when fall and winter come around, and it’s actually completely normal. Read through the slides to learn about the way our mood can change with the seasons, and what you can do to feel a little better.

It’s easy to fall into the stillness of winter, and sometimes we desperately need the rest. However, it’s also okay to ask for help if you’re feeling more than just tired. Seasonal depression is real, and there’s always someone willing to help. Let us know if you have any questions or comment your experience with seasonal mood changes!
