Achieve Family Therapy is honoring the sacrifices of men and women who died for our country this month. I have learned so much from practicing gratitude and remembering and appreciating sacrifices made on my behalf. In our most important relationships, practicing gratitude, making sacrifices and serving each other binds us and heals past hurts.

Sue Johnson had a significant impact on my career and was instrumental in helping me learn how to improve my own relationships. She was a strong woman, a pioneer in her field and her influence eventually spread worldwide. Facing adversity with courage and humor, she shared her knowledge and wisdom and was eventually recognized in 2016 with the Order of Canada award and in 2022 with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Psychotherapy Network. One could not possibly measure the ripple effect of the number of lives touched and relationships improved due to her influence. She will be sorely missed but not forgotten.

This leads some to the freeze or flee response. There are alternative options that require practice and patience yet these tools help get people unstuck and moving forward again.

I love springtime especially seeing everything come back to life after what feels like a long winter. It reminds me to hope and remember that difficulties pass, or if they don't in time I grow stronger and change brings new possibilities.

Achieve Family Therapy is making efforts to accommodate our clients and the community while facing changes being brought on by the Corona Virus. We are now offering a telehealth option to allow for continuity of care for current clients and accessibility for new clients. At this time, we are encouraged to keep a social distance from others to prevent the spread of disease. This does not mean we stop needing connection. We all need it. Please consider reaching out to others by text, phone calls, emails, Facetime, Facebook, or other forms of technology. We are blessed to live in a time with technological advances. May you find peace in reaching out and connecting with others especially those who may be more isolated than most.

Achieve Family Therapy welcomes Malory. Learn a little bit about her.

"My focus as a therapist is to make clients feel heard, understood, and acknowledged through an authentic therapist/client relationship. It is my aim to be a strong ally for my clients and provide them with the tools and resources they need to work through their challenges. I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their goals, while also encouraging them to create new ones."

"I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and a minor in Psychology. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Couple and Family Therapy with an Art Therapy Specialization. My love of art and passion for helping people came together when I volunteered at Primary Children’s Hospital. It was here where I discovered how therapeutic art can be in one’s healing process."
