🎧 Let’s be real. Sometimes your playlist is cheaper than therapy.
But that does not mean music can’t be a powerful mental health tool.

I’m Dr. Phebe, and today’s tip is simple.
Make yourself two playlists:
✨ One that calms your nervous system on stressful days
✨ One that gives you energy and motivation when you need it most

Music shifts the brain.
It can slow your heart rate, regulate your breath, and move stuck emotions.
So yes, keep going. Turn it up. Shake a little something.
Your mind and body will thank you.

What songs are on your “mental health playlist” right now?

We’re filled with gratitude for everyone who showed up, donated, and supported families through the 253 Community Pantry. Your generosity reminded us what it truly means to care, not just in words but in action.

Every can, every bag of food, and every moment of kindness helped fill shelves, hearts, and homes. When one of us is in need, we all show up. That is what community looks like. That is what healing together feels like. 🌾

Thank you for being part of something bigger, something built on love, empathy, and care that reaches far beyond the walls of our practice. 💜

Día de Mu***os | November 1 & 2
These days are a time of remembrance for many individuals, families, and communities across Mexico and Latin America.

Día de Mu***os is not about grief alone — it is about love, memory, and the continuing presence of those who have shaped us.

During this time, people may choose to honor loved ones who have passed through:

• Sharing stories

• Preparing their favorite foods

• Lighting a candle

• Creating an ofrenda (altar)

• Or simply pausing in quiet reflection

There is no one “right” way to honor these days.

Whether this is a tradition you grew up with or something you are just learning about, you are welcome to honor your loved ones in the way that feels true to you.

🌼 Que hagamos una pausa para recordar:

💗 El amor que nos dio forma,

🌾 La sabiduría que nos acompaña,

🕯️ Y los lazos que siguen vivos, más allá del tiempo.

🌼✨

We’re thrilled to announce that Erika Fisch has joined 253 Therapy as our newest therapist! 💙
Erika’s experience spans working with children, teens, older adults, and families, including individuals with developmental disabilities, diverse neurotypes, trauma histories, and those from marginalized communities.
In her new role, Erika creates safe, compassionate spaces where clients can explore their emotions, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with themselves. 🌱
Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Systemic Family Therapy, Erika helps clients feel seen, supported, and empowered in their personal growth.
Outside the therapy room, she finds joy in nature walks with her pets, learning new crochet stitches, exploring culture and history, cooking with loved ones, and finding peace through movement and music.
Welcome aboard, Erika! Your heart for healing fits perfectly with 253 Therapy’s mission! 💫

In this powerful session, Francisco Esquivel guided us through the practice of somatics — where healing begins by listening to the body. Through grounding, mindful movement, and gentle awareness, we were reminded that the body and mind are never separate.

This space wasn’t about perfection, it was about presence. About returning to the quiet, steady place within us that’s been holding everything we’ve lived through.

Come as you are.
Breathe.
You are home in your body. 🤎
Thankful for everything who joined.

🍂✨ Fall is in the air! The cool breeze is whispering cozy vibes, and it’s the perfect time to embrace change — both inside and out. Before we dive headfirst into pumpkin spice everything and sweater weather, let’s take a moment to check in with ourselves.
🌙 Are you feeling rested? 💛 Grounded? And most importantly, supported?
It’s totally okay to hit pause. Slowing down isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of self-love. As the leaves change, let’s remember to be kind to ourselves during this transition. Your well being matters, and it’s okay to take the time you need. 🧡
So grab a warm drink, cozy up, and let’s embrace this beautiful season together! 🍁✨
