Thanksgiving is often seen as a time of gratitude, connection, and tradition, yet it can bring a mix of emotions. For some, it is a chance to gather and celebrate, while for others it may highlight loss, loneliness, or the weight of family stress. Both experiences are valid. Gratitude does not have to mean ignoring difficult feelings. It can also mean honoring small moments of peace, support, or kindness. This season, we invite you to care for yourself in ways that feel right for you and to remember that your well-being matters. Our practice is here to support you through the holidays and beyond.

Supporting children through transitions is incredibly important throughout their development, but we don’t often discuss the support we need as adults going through changes. Managing a significant change of a process or a role can be equally as challenging for some people as having a completely new job. Improving your adaptability might be easier than you think if you keep these things in mind:

1) Remember what is in your Control – You can have a positive attitude about heading to a new place or trying a new way of doing things. You can also be proactive and ask questions to ensure you understand what is going on and/or what your role is in the work. You can also take a water break, bathroom break, or a lunch break as needed. You always have options for managing changes and situations in the workplace.

2) Play the New Card – Whether you are new at the company, or just learning a new task, the average person does not expect you to know everything or do everything correctly the first time around. If it will make you feel better in the moment, don’t be afraid to say it out loud. Everyone had to experience something new at some point.

3) Practice Authenticity – Be honest and ask questions if you need something. Lean into the company culture by attending potlucks, participating in activities, and introducing yourself to coworkers to build positive relationships. And most importantly, be yourself the whole way through because everyone likes feeling like they are getting to know the real you.

4) Remember your Worth and your Goals – Spend some time honestly reflecting on how everything is going. Give yourself breaks as you need them and practice self-care, but stay focused on the end result. No job has to be permanent, and everyone wants to take steps in the right direction. This may be a stepping stone, or it may take some time to adjust, or we may even realize this was not the best move. You can keep your options open and move on if needed, just keep your goals in sight.

Today, we honor Transgender Day of Remembrance, a time to reflect on the lives of transgender individuals who have been lost to violence and discrimination. This day reminds us of the deep courage it takes to live authentically and the importance of creating communities rooted in compassion, safety, and respect. Grief and remembrance can be heavy, and it is okay to seek support when carrying these emotions. As a mental health practice, we stand with the transgender community and remain committed to fostering spaces where all people can feel seen, valued, and supported. You are not alone.

As mental health professionals, we often see how unprocessed emotions can quietly influence thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.

Unresolved emotions—whether grief, anger, fear, or shame—don’t disappear over time; they tend to resurface through stress, irritability, or emotional numbness.

Learning to identify and work through these emotions is an important part of emotional regulation and psychological health.

💡 A few helpful steps:
1️⃣ Acknowledge and name what you feel. Awareness is the first step to healing.
2️⃣ Explore the source—often, emotions point to unmet needs or unfinished experiences.
3️⃣ Express safely through journaling, therapy, or movement.
4️⃣ Practice self-compassion. Healing takes patience and gentleness.

Processing emotions allows for integration and growth rather than avoidance and overwhelm.

Emotional awareness strengthens resilience, relationships, and overall well-being. 🌿

As therapists, we often emphasize the importance of being present for our clients, but what does that really entail?

In this week’s blog, we explore the idea of being a lighthouse: a steady and grounded presence that offers light and safety when life’s storms roll in.

Our role is not to steer the ship, but to stay grounded and be the guiding light. When we do, we help clients find their own way through the fog with compassion, consistency, and gentle guidance.

Read more about how presence can be one of the most powerful tools in therapy.

● Gain perspective and insight
● Connect with yourself or others

Hiking pairs beautifully with therapy to strengthen coping skills, resilience, and emotional balance.

Think video games are just for fun? Think again. Every quest, challenge, and respawn is secretly training your mind to handle real-life battles with more fortitude.

Resilience: In games, failure isn’t defeat; it’s feedback. You get knocked down, learn the pattern, and come back stronger. That same resilience helps you recover from setbacks in real life.

Problem-Solving: Every puzzle, mission, and boss fight sharpens your ability to think critically, adapt under pressure, and find creative solutions when the odds are stacked against you.

Teamwork and Communication: Multiplayer games teach you how to listen, collaborate, and support others toward a shared goal. Those same skills strengthen relationships, teamwork, and empathy in your daily life.

Goal Setting and Progress: Leveling up, tracking achievements, and unlocking new abilities remind you that progress takes effort and consistency. Real growth works the same way.

Before you start your next game, remember it’s not “just a game.” It’s practice for the real world. You’re building the cornerstones of a healthy mind that help you level up your mental health.

When most people hear the word "journal," they picture a diary where you vent or recap the day. Therapeutic journaling goes deeper than that. It’s about reflection, insight, and self-discovery, not just record-keeping.

Journaling can help you process emotions, notice patterns, and reduce stress. Writing things down allows your mind to slow down and organize thoughts, which can improve clarity, boost self-awareness, and even support emotional healing. It's a small but powerful tool to help you grow, make sense of challenges, and celebrate progress.

Instead of simply writing what happened, try exploring how it made you feel, what you learned, or where you'd like to grow. That is where the healing starts.

Here's how to get started:
Take five quiet minutes in your day. This could be in the morning, at night, or even while sitting in your car before heading inside.

Choose a prompt that helps you reflect:
● What emotion has been showing up most for me lately?
● What am I learning about myself this week?
● What do I want to release, and what do I want to grow?

Pro tip: You don't need to write entire pages or make it perfect. A few honest sentences are enough. The key is consistency. Journaling works best when it becomes a habit, even if it's just a few minutes a day. By showing up for yourself regularly, you train your mind to notice patterns, process emotions, and cultivate growth. These small, intentional steps build a routine that strengthens both insight and emotional resilience over time.

If you try this, share one thing you discovered or drop a 🌿 in the comments. Grab your pen, dive in, and watch yourself grow this month!

No one loves to apply for jobs. Many job applications can be tedious and repetitive, and it is completely natural to lose motivation at times. However, you can put in place some simple habits to manage your stress and your job hunting successfully.

1) Utilize the Resources & People in your Corner – You have a support system, and in today’s world, there are many websites and career services that can be helpful. Don’t be afraid to talk with people you know, go to a networking event, or use more than one job search engine – you never know when something promising might come up.

2) Keep your Goals in Mind – Stay focused on your ultimate goal to help streamline your search and conversations. Are you looking to break into a new field, move up the ladder, or learn new skills? Regardless, you can make more headway by going after those opportunities that align with your goals (and your values, of course!)

3) Maintain an Excel spreadsheet – It may seem like extra work at first, but keeping a simple spreadsheet of the company you applied to, the date you applied, and the date of any follow-ups can be very helpful as time goes on. Saving the job description or posting can be helpful too if you land that interview!

4) Give Grace & Take Breaks – No one gets a new job immediately, and sometimes that opportunity we wanted does not work out. Don’t be too hard on yourself if the process takes awhile or you get rejections along the way. Taking a day or a weekend off from job searching is healthy. Maintain confidence in your skills and your worth – you have the ability to make a difference! Taking some time for yourself can help you to remember that and provide some restorative energy to pick up the search again next week.

November is National Adoption Month—a time to honor the love, resilience, and unique journeys of adoptive families. Adoption can bring immense joy, but it can also come with complex emotions for children and parents alike—grief, identity questions, and adjustment challenges are common and valid. At our practice, we’re here to support adoptive families through every stage, helping each member feel seen, understood, and supported. This month, let’s celebrate the strength of adoptive families and remember that it’s okay to seek help navigating the emotional layers of the journey.

It’s National Sandwich Day—a fun reminder that even small, simple joys can boost our mood and well-being.

Taking time to enjoy life’s little pleasures, like a good sandwich, can help reduce stress and bring a sense of balance to busy days. Today, treat yourself to your favorite bite and savor the moment—it’s a simple way to nourish both body and mind.
