✨ Meet Our New Therapist, Rebecca, LPCC! ✨

We’re excited to welcome a new therapist to our practice who works with children (6+), teens, and young adults. She primarily offers in-person sessions, with virtual appointments available when needed.

Her approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in trust. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or for your child, her goal is to provide practical tools and meaningful guidance to help ease stress, navigate challenges, and foster growth—at a pace that feels right for you. 💛

With experience supporting clients through anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions, she is passionate about helping individuals recognize their strengths, build confidence, and regain a sense of control and purpose.

Her primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with integration of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

Today is World Kindness Day, a reminder that kindness isn’t small—it’s powerful.

In therapy, we see every day how a gentle word, a patient pause, or a moment of self-compassion can change the nervous system, soften shame, and open the door to healing. Kindness toward others matters, but kindness toward yourself matters just as much.

If today feels heavy, kindness might look like resting.
If today feels busy, kindness might look like slowing down.
If today feels tender, kindness might look like asking for support.

However you practice it, kindness counts. And it ripples outward in ways we don’t always get to see.

From our practice to you: may today include at least one moment of softness—for yourself and for someone else. 💙

This Valentine’s Day, we’re widening the definition of love.
Healthy love isn’t just about romance; it’s about respect, boundaries, safety, and kindness. It’s the way we speak to ourselves after a hard day. It’s choosing rest without guilt. It’s learning how to show up honestly in our relationships, including the one we have with ourselves.

Whether today is filled with dates, quiet moments, complicated feelings, or something in between, know this: you are worthy of care, compassion, and connection—starting from within.

Here’s to love that’s steady, supportive, and rooted in well-being. 💖
Happy Valentine’s Day.

✨ Team Spotlight ✨

We’re excited to spotlight one of our clinicians, Megan, who is currently accepting new clients! Megan also recently transitioned from Therapist Intern to LPCC!

With a belief that moving forward often means first looking back, her work centers on understanding how past experiences shape our sense of self, relationships, and choices today. She practices from a psychodynamic perspective, often integrating attachment theory, while also using CBT to help clients build emotional stability and practical coping tools—especially early in the therapy process.

Megan offers individual counseling for adults and teens as well as couples counseling.

Before becoming a therapist, Megan spent a decade in the IT industry. Her own journey of self-discovery and inner work inspired a meaningful career shift into mental health—work they now find deeply fulfilling.

Outside the therapy room, you’ll find Megan living an active life: enjoying the outdoors, hitting the gym, playing intramural sports, and spending quality time with family and friends.

📩 Interested in getting started? Reach out to our practice to schedule a consultation or learn more about working with this clinician.

Celebrating Black History Month 🖤

This month, we honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black communities—past, present, and future. At the heart of that legacy is wellness, healing, and the right to compassionate, culturally responsive mental health care.

We’re highlighting Black mental health resources that uplift, educate, and support healing beyond this month. Take a look at the resources featured in the images and consider sharing them with someone who may benefit.

Black history is living history. Black mental health matters—this month and always.

Happy Groundhog Day! 🦫🌤️

Whether Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not, today’s a great reminder that noticing patterns is the first step toward change. In therapy, we gently look at the “Groundhog Days” in our own lives—the habits, thoughts, or cycles that keep repeating—and explore new ways forward.

If it feels like you’ve been stuck in the same emotional weather lately, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’re here to help you find clarity, warmth, and a little more sunshine—no matter the forecast. 💛

We still have openings for new group, The Recovery Circle! 🌟

If you, a client, or a family member is struggling with supporting a loved one while they navigate addiction, this is the group for you. Led by our therapist intern, Sarah, we will focus on reflection, healing, and growing through guided discussion, art-based activities, and supportive connection. ❤

As we close out the first month of the new year, we invite you to pause for a moment of reflection. 🌱

January often comes with pressure to change, improve, or “get it right.” Instead of focusing on what you didn’t do, try gently noticing:

-What felt heavy this month?
-What brought even a small sense of ease or joy?
-What did you learn about yourself?

Reflection isn’t about judgment—it’s about awareness. Growth can be quiet, nonlinear, and still meaningful.

If you’re carrying things you don’t quite have words for yet, you don’t have to hold them alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with intention—at your own pace.

How did January feel for you? 💬

Winter can sneak up on your mood, often bringing the winter blues. Less sunlight, cold air, and disrupted routines can leave you feeling tired, low, or checked out. If you feel “off” this time of year, you are not alone and you are not broken. 💙

With a few simple daily mental health habits, you can gently improve mood in winter, even supporting those with seasonal affective disorder. You do not need a perfect routine. You just need small, repeatable self-care strategies that support your brain and body. 💪🧠

These ideas come from a therapist point of view, so they are meant to be realistic, kind, and flexible. Take what fits, leave what does not, and remember that therapy can help you actually follow through on new habits when you feel stuck. What are your favorite techniques for fighting off the winter blues?

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose work reminds us that healing is both personal and collective. 🤝

Dr. King spoke of justice, compassion, and the dignity of every human being—values that are deeply aligned with the heart of therapeutic work. In therapy, we witness how safety, empathy, and being truly heard can create meaningful change. These same principles are essential for building a more just and connected world.

On this day, we reflect on the importance of caring for our mental and emotional well-being while also acknowledging the systems and experiences that shape it. Healing is not just an individual journey; it’s something we cultivate together through understanding, respect, and courageous conversations.

May we continue to listen deeply, act with compassion, and honor Dr. King’s legacy by supporting one another in the ongoing work of growth and healing. ❤️
