The leaves are turning and the season is changing. During this time of the year, change can happen so fast. So, there is no wonder teens struggle through the transitions. If you have a teen between 12 to 14 years old who is going through transitions whether that's from 8th grade to Freshman or the winter break, this might be the group they just need.

If you are interested email Maria at Marisa@graymattertherapy.net for more information.

📢 We're excited to announce a new group 📢

SOBER SPACE aims to cultivate greater awareness and mindfulness, empowering participants to pause, observe their present experiences, and make conscious choices in each moment. Through the practice of mindfulness and self-reflection, participants will work towards breaking free from deeply ingrained patterns of thought and behavior in the journey of sobriety.

Happy Filipino American History Month!

Did you know? Filipinos established the first Asian American settlement in New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 18th century. The history of how Filipinos came to America at that time is murky. Some say they came from Spanish trades in the 17th century, while some say the Filipinos working on vessels sailing the Gulf of Mexico found refuge in the marsh areas.

Filipinos have a long and complicated history with America yet, they continue to be marginalized and unseen for the contributions they have made in creating the social fabric of America.

We are here to be the support system someone desperately needs in their darkest moments.
