Día de los Mu***os is so much more than just a holiday. It’s a beautiful and vibrant celebration of life, memory, and love. 🧡 From October 31st to November 2nd, it is believed the veil between the living and the departed is lifted, allowing us to reunite with the souls of our loved ones.

Día de los Mu***os teaches us that death is a natural part of life’s journey, and our loved
ones are never truly gone as long as we remember them.

So grateful for each and every person on our team!

Yesterday we had the opportunity to get together, bond, laugh, challenge ourselves via the art of pottery, share a meal together, and just hang out! And of course, we talked about doing EMDR with the crazy elevator we were in! 😆😆 what can we say, it’s our specialty! 😏😉

For some, this was the first time they met in person yet it felt like we’ve all known each other for years. It’s the power of genuine connection. ✨

Thank you for creating this video for us! And thank you to for having us! Sylvia was amazing!

Interested in learning more about us? Curious about EMDR? Send us a message and let’s chat!

Be well,
Patricia ☺️

✨ Therapist Says with Melanie Weinraub, AMFT, APCC✨

We often associate grief with the loss of a person, a relationship, or a significant event. But grief can also stem from the absence of something we longed for. Unmet expectations, dreams that never materialized, a life path that didn’t unfold the way we hoped, these too can leave us feeling a deep, unspoken sorrow.

Melanie Weinraub, AMFT, APCC reminds us that this kind of grief is just as real and valid. Whether it’s the career you imagined, the relationship you wished for, or the version of yourself you thought you’d become, mourning these “what-ifs” is a natural part of emotional processing.

If you’re carrying the weight of silent grief, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it alone either.

💬 Connect with Melanie to begin exploring and healing those quiet losses.
