An analogy I often share with patients is the idea of glass balls versus bouncy balls.

Some things can be dropped and will bounce. Others are fragile, unbreakable in their importance, and deserve our care and attention.

Letting some balls drop isn’t failure — it’s discernment.
In the new year, we get to choose what we hold gently and what we allow ourselves to set down. ✨

It’s okay to drop the ones that are no longer serving you well.

If you’re finding it hard to decide what to hold and what to set down, therapy can be a space to explore that together.

New year, same heart for this work. ✨

If you’re here because you’re curious about therapy, looking for support, or searching for a safe place to land, I’m really glad you’re here.

I’m passionate about helping people make sense of their inner worlds and feel safer within themselves.

If you or someone you love is looking for a therapist, I’m always grateful for referrals, shared connections, and the trust it takes to begin therapy. And if I’m not able to personally work with you, I’d love the chance to help connect you with someone in my community. 🧠 🛋️ 💚

As the world jumps back into “normal,” your body and heart might still be catching up. That’s okay.

If the holidays stirred things you weren’t expecting — memories, grief, stress, or pressure — therapy can be a grounding place to start again.

Your story matters, and you don’t have to hold it by yourself.

📲 601-202-2822 (text or call)
📧 ASanders@elliementalhealth.com

The days after a big holiday can be some of the hardest for so many reasons. Whatever you’re feeling, or even if you can’t quite put it into words, we’re here to listen.

Schedule a session today and let’s navigate this together.

12/19/2025

As the year comes to a close, I want to wish you and your loved ones a joyful and restful holiday season ✨

Please note that my office will be closed beginning today for the holidays. I will return to the office on Monday, 12/29. The office will also be closed on Thursday, January 1st.

I’ll be responding to all messages as promptly as possible once I return to the office.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your healing journey this year 🌻

May this season bring moments of rest, connection, and gentleness with yourself.

For anyone feeling nervous about that first step: you’re not doing it wrong.
Come as you are. You don’t have to have the words — just show up 🌱

We know it takes courage to make an appointment, shift your schedule, and show up ready to talk.

When you arrive, we keep things simple. Just walk in, check in on the iPad, and take a breath. Your therapist will come get you when it’s time. No explanations, no pressure… just a safe space to begin.

Therapy is for the student finding their footing.
For the parent carrying more than they speak about.
For the overthinker who can’t shut their mind off at night.
For the helper who’s always been the strong one.
For the person holding quiet storms in their body.

Therapy is for anyone longing for grounding, gentleness, connection, and a space to finally exhale.

If you’re feeling the nudge, consider it a whisper from your nervous system — you don’t have to hold it all alone. 🤍

Connecting with your body doesn’t have to look perfect — sometimes it looks like gentle movement, shared space, fresh air, and being surrounded by people who feel grounding.

As human beings, we’re wired for connection — to our bodies, to each other, to community, and to joy. 🌿🤍✨

When do you feel most connected to yourself? 🧘🏻‍♀️

BIG thanks to .e + for such a fun kickoff to this Saturday morning!

Today’s Goals:
• Deep breathing 5x/day
• Call Mom

Even better when the day starts off with a FaceTime call with mom over some coffee ☕️

Today started off rainy and gloomy, but the sun eventually pushed through — such a grounding reminder that even when things feel heavy, they don’t stay that way. Not all storms last forever. 🌤️🤍

What was one of your goals for the day? 🌻

Ellie Mental Health - Ridgeland, MS — here to help you weather the storms and find your way back to steady ground.

If you need a safe harbor from the storm this holiday season, please reach out for support — you don’t have to navigate it alone:

When anxiety spikes, grounding through the 5️⃣ senses can gently guide your system back into the present moment. 🧘🏻‍♀️

One of my favorite hacks for sight is to look for specific colors, shapes, or textures around you — it gives your brain something concrete to focus on. 👀

And for taste? Sour things can be powerful little reset buttons. 🍋
Lemons, green apples, or even a piece of sour candy can quickly reorient your nervous system when things feel overwhelming.

😸 Sharing this adorable cat-themed 5-4-3-2-1 visual from Ellie Mental Health because it’s simple, effective, and playful — exactly what our systems sometimes need. 🐾💛✨

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or upset? Grounding skills can help bring you back to the present moment. Try focusing on your breath, feeling the texture of an object nearby, or naming five things you can see around you. These simple techniques can help you regain control and find calm amidst the chaos. Remember, it's okay to take a moment for yourself. (Bonus, it's cat themed!)

Meet your Swiftie therapist in her TS12 era ✨🪩❤️‍🔥 — helping clients navigate life transitions, trauma healing, identity exploration, and the messy middle spaces with compassion and curiosity.

I’m so grateful to be part of the Ellie Mental Health – Ridgeland team, holding space for adults, college students, and young adults as they explore who they are, where they’re headed, and how to make sense of what’s been. 🌿

Outside the therapy room, you’ll probably find me baking something cozy, rewatching Friends, or building playlists that double as emotional processing tools. 🎶🎧

💛 Ready to connect with a therapist who meets you where you are — and is here for the long versions, the re-recordings, and the real conversations? 💬

I have a few spots open (taking on about 5–6 new patients) before the holiday rush 🎃🦃🎄— and I’d love to help you find your calm in the chaos.

🤎 September is Su***de Prevention Month 🤎

Too often, the weight of pain and silence convinces us that we must carry it alone. But the truth is—we are wired for connection, and there is power in reaching out.

As a therapist, I hold space for many who walk through deep valleys. And as a human, I know what it’s like to wrestle with my own moments of heaviness, doubt, or fear. None of us are immune to struggle. That’s why I believe so deeply in reminding one another: your life is valuable. Your presence makes a difference.

Even in the darkest nights, there are people and resources ready to walk beside you until the light feels possible again. 🌙✨

This month, let’s commit to checking in on our friends, speaking openly about mental health, and remembering: healing happens when we bring our stories into the light.

If you or someone you know is struggling, here are places you can reach out for support:
📲 Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (24/7)
🇺🇸 Veterans: dial 988, then press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.
🌈 LGBTQ+ youth: call 1-866-488-7386 or text START to 678-678 to connect with The Trevor Project.

You are never alone. I’m so glad you’re still here. ♡
