May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we want to start it simply.

Not with statistics. Not with a checklist. Just with this:

However you're doing right now, it's okay to name it. It's okay to need support. And it's okay if you're not sure where to start.

We're here all month, and we're here beyond it. Rise Therapy serves Minnesotans across the state, and we'd be honored to walk alongside you.

đź’™ If you've been thinking about therapy, this month is a gentle nudge- not a deadline.

The Difference Between Coping and Avoiding:
Coping helps you move through discomfort.
Avoiding helps you move away from it.
They can look similar from the outside — but they feel very different over time.

Coping:
- Acknowledges the emotion
- Reduces intensity without denying reality
- Helps you return to the situation with more capacity
- Builds resilience long‑term
- Example: Taking a break to regulate, then coming back to the hard conversation.

Avoiding:
- Pushes the emotion away
- Provides short‑term relief
- Keeps the fear or stress in control
- Makes the discomfort stronger over time
- Example: Canceling plans every time anxiety shows up.

A helpful question to ask yourself:

“Does this help me face the situation more safely — or escape it entirely?”

There’s no shame in avoiding sometimes.
But healing happens when coping becomes the default.

Some therapists work in a community. Scott Seres is part of one.

Scott lives and puts down roots in South Minneapolis, and that's not a small thing. When you sit across from him (or open up your laptop for a Zoom session), you're talking to someone who understands this city not just professionally, but personally. The neighborhoods. The people. The particular kind of resilience it takes to live and grow here.

That community investment shows up in how he does his work too.

Scott supports adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions, and he's trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a research-backed approach that helps people process painful experiences more quickly than traditional talk therapy alone. If you've felt stuck, like you've talked about something a hundred times but it still hasn't shifted, ART might be worth exploring.

Scott has immediate openings at our South Minneapolis location and via Zoom statewide. Getting started doesn't have to wait.

Reach out at www.risetherapy.net or DM us to connect with Scott directly.

Sadness is a natural part of being human.

It can show up after loss, change, disappointment,
or sometimes without a clear reason at all.

Not every feeling needs to be solved or pushed away.

Sometimes sadness is asking for:
• space to be felt
• time to process
• gentleness instead of judgment

You don’t have to rush yourself out of it.

Feelings can move through when they’re allowed to be there.

If sadness has been feeling heavy or persistent, you don’t have to carry it alone.
Therapy can be a place to process and feel supported.

You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely.

Loneliness isn’t just about being physically alone,
it’s about feeling disconnected, unseen, or not fully understood.

It might show up as:
• feeling like you can’t be yourself
• surface-level conversations
• not wanting to burden others
• feeling distant, even in close relationships

There’s nothing wrong with you for feeling this way.

Connection isn’t just about proximity, it’s about feeling safe, known, and understood.

And that kind of connection can take time to build.

If loneliness has been weighing on you, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Therapy can be a space to feel heard learn how to build deeper connections.

You might handle something in the moment and feel… fine.

Then hours later — or even days — it hits.

The overwhelm.
The sadness.
The irritation you couldn’t quite name before.

This isn’t you being “too sensitive.”
It’s often how the brain and body process experiences.

When you’re focused on getting through something, your system may delay emotional processing until it feels safer to slow down.

So if your feelings show up later, it doesn’t mean they’re wrong-
it means they’re catching up.

Giving yourself space to notice and process those emotions can help them move through, instead of building up.

If you’re working on understanding your emotional patterns, therapy can help you make sense of these experiences.

Spending time in nature doesn’t have to be long or complicated to make a difference.

Research shows that even brief time outdoors can help:
• reduce stress levels
• improve mood
• support focus and attention
• calm the nervous system

Natural environments give your mind a break from constant stimulation and allow your body to settle.

This Earth Day, consider taking a few minutes to step outside- whether it’s a walk, sitting in the sun, or simply noticing what’s around you.

Small moments of connection can have a meaningful impact.

If you’re looking for additional ways to support your mental health and manage stress, therapy can help you build tools that work for your everyday life.

Sleep plays a bigger role in mental health than many people realize.

When you’re not getting enough rest, it can impact:
• mood and irritability
• anxiety levels
• focus and decision-making
• emotional regulation

Your brain uses sleep to process emotions and reset for the next day.

So if things feel heavier, more overwhelming, or harder to manage, it might not just be what’s happening around you... it could also be what your body is missing.

You don’t need perfect sleep to feel better.
Small changes and support can make a difference over time.

If sleep or stress has been affecting your mental health, therapy can help you build tools to support both.

Teenagers are carrying a lot right now.

The pressure to perform, to fit in, to figure out who they are, all while their brains and bodies are changing faster than anyone can keep up with. And so often, they're doing it without the words to explain what's going on inside.

Therapy gives teens a space that's entirely their own. No parents, no grades, no expectations, just a caring, skilled therapist who's genuinely interested in them.

At Rise Therapy, our therapists work with teens in a way that actually meets them where they are. Not lecturing. Not diagnosing their whole personality. Just listening, building trust, and helping them develop tools they'll carry for the rest of their lives.

We offer evening and weekend appointments, because we know homework, activities, and school schedules are real.

If your teen has been struggling and you're not sure how to help, reaching out is a great first step. We'll help you figure out the rest together.

Pause for a moment in the middle of your workday.

How are you doing — really?

Not just getting through tasks.
Not just staying busy.

Check in with yourself:
• What am I feeling right now?
• Am I overwhelmed, distracted, or okay?
• What would help me reset for the rest of the day?

You don’t have to push through the entire day without a pause.

Even a minute can make a difference.

If you’re finding that your days feel consistently overwhelming or hard to manage, therapy can help you build tools to navigate stress and stay more grounded throughout your day.
