2 0 2 5… a year to remember that created the groundwork to where Better Minds Counseling & Services is going.

I cannot express enough of how proud I am of my team.

• We had a 100% increase in team growth (I mean that’s really fun!) so happy Leah and Erik have joined the team.

• We have 8 group offerings by EOY.

• Jay completed intensive training and started providing adult ADHD assessments.

• Better Minds launched a YouTube Channel to share mental health topics and discussions amongst the Better Minds therapists.

• Jay, Erik, and I offer more clinical consultations to therapist on: ADHD, OCD, Anxiety disorders, Narcissistic Abuse, Private Practice Management, and Group Formation.

• Leah and Erik received their Pennsylvania LAPC (licensed associate professional counselor) licenses. A step towards their full license. Leah also received her Delaware license.

• We hosted 6 in-person events and 12 virtual events (including 3 yoga sessions, 2 Instagram lives, 1 meet and greet, and 6 workshops)

• We were (still are) honored to have received the Mental Health Champion award.

• We now can help abuse victims receive services through VCAP (Victims Compensation Assistance Program) in Pennsylvania.

I’ve loved all the connections I have made and the practice has made over the past year. I’m so proud of my team in all they have done and client care they’ve delivered… my mission has always been to create a space that is supportive and allows for growth for therapists as that translates into the quality care provided to all our clients ♥️

Here’s to 2026 ✨

Are you over these being your holiday plans? It’s okay being a sloth or having that slug day… however if guilt and disappointment creeps in. It is not the relaxing day that the sloth and slugs want it to be.

A therapist is able to get down to the habits and behaviors influencing not just actions but what is preventing you from really moving forward with feeling satisfied and fulfilled. It might be that you want to enjoy these days more often or you want these days to look differently for yourself.
In either case, Better Minds is here ❤️

Better Minds is accepting new individual and group clients in PA, DE, MD, and NC. Reach out today for your free intro therapy meeting: info@betterminds-counseling.com

I h a t e t h i s q u o t e.

This is a post I made over 5 years ago. I had this sign for several years at that point. I would look at it almost everyday, reminding myself to keep doing more. And by doing more meant I had less time elsewhere. I would work 60+ hours a week, believing I needed to hustle in order to make it, to be worthy. While I achieved a title of CEO I never thought would happen by the time I’m 30… it dawned on me not long after that post.
I was stressed tf out. I was never home, I had the worst sleep, and felt I was on everyone else’s schedule and never mine.
When I left the CEO role for another role inbetween starting my practice… I realized that the “good things come to those who hustle” is complete BS. It is misleading that if you hustle and sacrifice that you will then have good things happen to you in life. And that isn’t true.

Now I believe you can put in effort in your life while also taking care of yourself. Hustling constantly creates burnout which tanks your satisfaction and creeps into self-worth and relationships. It’s about balance.

If you struggle with breaking that hustle culture influence… my team and I are here for you. Reach out today for a free intro meeting and find out what balance can be like in your life.
