Healing works best when care is collaborative. 🌿

Our clinicians meet weekly to collaborate, coordinate, and integrate care—ensuring each client receives thoughtful, individualized, evidence-based support aligned with their unique needs and therapeutic goals.

As our practice continues to grow, we’re genuinely excited to welcome new clinicians who share our commitment to collaborative, integrative, whole-person care.

At Create Wellbeing Therapy Collective, our approach to therapy is rooted in Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)—a framework developed by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel that helps us understand how the brain, relationships, and life experiences shape mental health. 🧠

This perspective guides our three-stage model of care—Calm., Engage. Integrate.—which focuses on supporting the nervous system, strengthening healthy connections, and helping individuals make sense of their experiences in an integrated way. Rather than viewing symptoms in isolation, an IPNB-informed approach looks at the whole person, including attachment patterns, emotional experiences, and the body’s role in healing.❤️‍🩹

By grounding our work in Interpersonal Neurobiology, we emphasize compassionate, trauma-informed care and the understanding that lasting healing happens through safe relationships, self-awareness, and nervous system regulation. 🌿

We are thrilled to welcome our newest clinician to the team, Integrative Psychotherapist, Kylee Braun, — and a very special pup, Dixie Rae! ✨

Kylee Braun is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who works with children, teens, families, and adults. She has experience supporting kids and teens in school and community settings and enjoys helping clients navigate anxiety, big emotions, school-related stress, identity development, and family dynamics. She uses an integrative, holistic approach drawing from CBT, DBT, experiential therapy, expressive art interventions, and strength-based practices.

Above all, Kylee strives to create a space where clients of all ages feel accepted, supported, and empowered to grow. Outside of the therapy room, Kylee enjoys creativity, movement, time in nature, and small grounding moments—often with a cup of coffee and her dog by her side. ☕️

Alongside Kylee is Dixie Rae, her gentle and intuitive pup who is currently enrolled in service dog training. Dixie Rae is learning specialized skills to support emotional regulation, grounding, and comfort in therapeutic settings, and will be ready to begin supporting clients in sessions starting March 2026. 🐶

We’re so excited to welcome both Kylee and Dixie Rae to our CWB team. ❤️

As we continue to grow, we’re staying rooted in what has always guided our work.

Integrative therapy isn’t just one of our offerings — it’s the foundation our practice. We believe healing happens when support is thoughtful, relational, and whole-person focused.

Our approach brings together the mind, nervous system, and lived experience — working gently, collaboratively, and intentionally. Care is personalized, evidence-based, and grounded in holistic practices, with the goal of creating lasting change that can be lived in daily life.

This is a commitment to presence over pressure.
To depth over quick fixes.
To honoring the full complexity of being human.

As the holidays approach, we’re feeling grateful for community, connection, and the many ways we care for one another.

Wishing you peace, warmth, and moments of joy—however this season meets you.

Happy holidays from our CWB team 💚🎄✨

The holidays bring so many emotions to the surface — joy, stress, tenderness, old dynamics we didn’t ask for.
And in those moments when everything feels a little louder, a little faster, a little too much… your breath is still yours.

A pause is not weakness.
A step back is not avoidance.
A long exhale is not “being dramatic.”

It’s your nervous system trying to find its footing again.

So before you walk into a gathering…
or when a comment lands a little too hard…
or when you feel yourself slipping into old patterns —
take the pause.

Feel your feet. 👣
Slow your breath. 🫁
Let your body catch up with your heart. ❤️

You get to choose how you show up, moment by moment.
And that choice often starts with a single inhale. 💫

Your nervous system is always communicating with you — through overwhelm, tension, shutdown, calm, clarity, or anything in between. The Window of Tolerance helps us understand these shifts. It’s the zone where we feel grounded, present, connected, and able to respond rather than react.

But life will naturally pull you out of your window sometimes.
That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong — it means you’re human.

The goal isn’t to stay perfectly regulated.
The goal is to notice where you are and gently guide yourself back.

In this carousel, I’m sharing simple, supportive ways to come back into your window when you’re feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. These practices help your body feel safe again so your mind can follow.

Save this post for the next time you need a gentle reminder of how to come back to yourself. 🪷

Sometimes the same emotional patterns resurface again and again — the tension you feel around certain people, the way your body tightens during conflict, the overwhelm that seems familiar even when the situation is new.

It’s easy to judge yourself:
“Why am I still reacting this way?”
“Shouldn’t I be past this by now?”
“What’s wrong with me?”

But what if nothing is wrong at all?

What if your nervous system is simply inviting you to listen more closely this time…
to notice the part of you that still needs care…
to meet an old wound with more compassion than you’ve ever been able to before?

Patterns repeat not to punish us, but to guide us.
They show us where healing is still asking to happen.

So the next time something familiar rises — irritation, anxiety, shutdown, defensiveness — try approaching it with curiosity rather than shame.

Ask:
✨ “What is this moment trying to teach me?”
✨ “What part of me needs support right now?”
✨ “How can I respond differently, with more care for myself?”

Growth isn’t linear.
It’s cyclical, deepening each time we return with a softer heart.

When your internal world feels overwhelmed, nature can act as an external regulator. 🌊

Sensory cues like the movement of waves, changing light, and open space help your body reorient and settle.
The coastline gives your nervous system a predictable rhythm, which can reduce activation and restore balance.

Even brief moments outdoors can shift your internal state by giving your system something steady, spacious, and soothing to respond to. ☀️

As we move into the weekend, gently notice how nature might support your body in settling and reconnecting — even in small, simple moments. 🌿
