This week, one of our teen clients reflected on being able to tolerate looking at themself in the mirror. The teen was able to connect the progress they have been doing in counseling with this step in their day to day life.

At first glance, my heart broke for this specific teen. But then I felt so deeply that we all can struggle with what the mirror can "tell us," no matter our age. This teen is an inspiration and encouragement for all of us to look in the mirror and see our deep value and beauty looking right back. And on hard days - we give ourselves grace in the process and lean on the people who see our value when we can't.

If your mental health was something you wanted to prioritize in 2026, we want to encourage you that you don't need to be in crisis or on the verge of a breakdown to start therapy.

We know it can be so daunting to take that step.

But starting therapy can be a slow process full of cautious curiosity, gentleness towards yourself, and gradually understanding your story better.
