Yes, that is a dinosaur and yes , this is therapy!

Sand trays and sensory tables brings a hands on approach to therapy 🙌🏼

These tools aren’t just for kids (though they’re great for them too!). People of all ages can benefit and support healing in ways that talking alone sometimes can’t.

Here’s how they support the therapeutic process:

•Helps process emotions non-verbally
•Supports nervous system regulation
•Encourages creativity and self-expression
•Offersgrounding through touch
•Affirms neurodiverse and trauma-impacted clients

Whether you’re building scenes, shifting sand, exploring textures, or just need something to fidget with, this approach can offer clarity, calm, and connection in a space that’s affirming and supported.

What is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)?

CBT helps you notice the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gently shift patterns that keep you feeling stuck.

It’s like learning to talk to yourself with more understanding, take small empowering actions, and feel more in control of your inner world. 💛

What CBT might look like:
-Catching an anxious thought and asking, “Is this actually true?”
-Replacing harsh self-criticism with kinder, more realistic perspectives
-Creating a doable plan to get out of a motivation slump
-Practicing new responses to stress or overwhelm one small step at a time

CBT can support: anxiety, depression, perfectionism, burnout, self-esteem, and more. It’s affirming, collaborative, and tailored to you.

November holds more than cozy vibes and holiday cheer - for many of us, it also brings stress, overwhelm, and deep emotional reflection.

In this month of both gratitude and grief, we’re honoring the quiet. We’re slowing down, letting go, and making space for rest 🌙

If this season feels heavier than expected, you are not alone! Read the full blog post (link in bio) for a gentle reminder that you don’t have to hustle through November to be worthy of peace 🍂🌻

Dillon represented Affirming You Therapy on the morning show and did an incredible job speaking about who we are as a practice, the communities we serve, and the heart behind the work we do every day! ✨

From discussing the importance of affirming care, to highlighting our commitment to creating an affirming and healing space for all beings - moments like this remind us why we do what we do and how powerful it is to share these conversations publicly.

Full video link is in our bio! 💛

We’re deeply grateful to for inviting us on 🙌🏼🎉

Thank you for giving us the space to speak on mental health, representation, and the impact of compassionate care!

NO-vember Reminder: You are always allowed to say no

No to what drains you.
No to what disrespects your boundaries.
No to what pulls you away from your peace.

Your needs matter. Your energy matters. You don’t need anyone’s permission to protect your peace.

This month (and every month), may you trust yourself enough to say no without guilt and yes to what truly aligns 💛

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel overwhelming, triggering, or stuck.
It’s especially helpful when talk therapy alone isn’t enough, and when emotions feel stored in the body or hard to explain.

What EMDR might look like:

-Your therapist gently guides you to a memory or belief tied to current distress
-You may follow their hand or a light with your eyes, follow a sound pattern with your ears, or hold onto something that vibrates (“bilateral stimulation)
-As your brain processes, you may notice emotional release, body shifts, or fresh insights
-Over time, the memory loses its emotional charge and you replace it with a more empowering truth
EMDR can support healing from: trauma, panic, anxiety, identity-based harm, chronic stress, grief, and inner criticism.

If EMDR sounds like it would resonate with you, reach out to connect with one of our trained therapists. We’re here to support your healing journey 💛

Every child experiences the world in their own unique way and when your child is neurodivergent, that perspective can look beautifully different from your own!

Learning to support your child begins with understanding how they see and process the world. From embracing routine and predictability to validating emotions and teaching coping skills, small shifts in your approach can make a huge impact in their confidence, regulation, and sense of safety 💛

In our latest blog post, we explore ways to connect with your child through empathy, curiosity, and understanding while also giving yourself grace along the way!
