When your therapist gives you unconditional positive regard — like, no matter if you start crying about that ex for the 47th time — but you still need to block people who give you bad energy 😌✨

It was a beautiful and inspiring morning, welcoming and walking with the Buddhist monks back home to the Hương Đạo Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth. Over 112 days, they walked 2300 miles in the name of peace. This Valentine’s Day, let us celebrate their amazing accomplishment, and be inspired to show more love and more peace. 💙

It’s week! Play therapy is truly a place where children can be themselves without expectations or conditions. We do not often from our clients after they have graduated, but when we do, it means the world. I’m so honored to have been the place for so many children, where they could feel seen, heard, and understood, when their world felt upside down.

If you want to know more about play therapy, let us know! ❤️

Did you know, many women experience mental health changes as the first sign of ?

Perimenopause often intensifies symptoms in women—affecting 94% of those with existing ADHD—due to dropping estrogen levels reducing - , causing severe brain fog, memory loss, and emotional dysregulation. This hormonal shift can trigger new, unmanaged symptoms in midlife, frequently leading to first-time diagnoses as coping mechanisms fail.

If you feel more erratic or scattered right now, it’s okay. You’ve been overfunctioning for years and need a break. Reach out if you need to talk!

Real talk: if you are a mental health professional right now, I applaud you. We must hold our clients’ fears, worries, and anxiety, while also holding our own. Seeing children being taken off the street, violence, hatred, and so much more…this is not what was taught in graduate school. Remember to take care of yourself, like you would take care of your clients.

I am incredibly proud of Keith Bryant for finishing his LPC Associate hours! He is now a fully licensed clinician. If you do not know Keith, he is a very dedicated, humanistic counselor, who is almost finished with the doctoral program at UNT. He is currently accepting clients, too. Help me congratulate him!

Plano ISD just cancelled classes for Thursday. I know we are all feeling restless right now. If you need some ideas for movement, try out some animal moves. You can set a timer for 20 seconds, do the first one, then rest for 10. Once you have done all exercises twice, you’re done! 🐸 🐻 🦍 ⭐️ 🐆 🦀 🐘

You can do this (and I’m not only talking about the exercises)! 🩵

Will it snow? Will it sleet? Will it ice? As with all Texas storms, time will tell. One thing we know for sure, brrr, it will be cold.

Mighty Oaks will be closed Saturday and Sunday out of an abundance of caution. We will monitor conditions Monday, but if the schools are closed, we will most likely ask our clients to stay safe at home. ❄️

Stay safe and warm. 🩵🩵🩵
