Self-care: scrolling memes to process feelings ✨

11/10/2025

Because communication isn’t about winning—it’s about understanding.

We help clients learn skills that make hard conversations easier (like DBT’s DEAR MAN, GIVE, and FAST) to express needs clearly, protect self-respect, and care for relationships.

We also use REBT, a tool that helps reframe unhelpful thoughts (like “If they don’t agree with me, I don’t belong”) into something more balanced and compassionate.

When things feel tense, pause and ask:
✨ Am I being clear but kind?
✨ Can I reframe this in a healthier way?

Not every disagreement has to turn into a debate. It is possible to communicate honestly and stay connected.

Sometimes therapy looks like journaling with your morning coffee, taking a quiet walk, or laughing with someone who truly listens. Whatever helps you reconnect with yourself — that’s your kind of therapy 💛

Whenever you’re ready for the deeper stuff, we’re here to help you find the kind of therapy that helps you grow, heal, and feel more like you 🌿

New month, new moment to pause 🍂

Before the holiday rush begins, take a breath and check in with yourself. What do you need this November—to feel grounded, grateful, and at ease?

This month isn’t about doing more. It’s about noticing what’s already good, simplifying where you can, and protecting your peace before the season speeds up.

Grab your journal (or your notes app) and reflect:
💛 What am I most grateful for right now?
💛 What boundaries will help me protect my energy?
💛 How can I slow down and actually enjoy what’s going well?

Here’s to a mindful, gratitude-filled November 🍂

Parenting isn’t about being your child’s favorite—it’s about being someone they can trust and rely on. 💛

There’s a time to listen, and a time to set boundaries. You can be loving and firm at the same time. Your child doesn’t have to like every rule you set—but they do need to know you’re their steady foundation.

Family therapy can help parents navigate these moments, learn strategies to guide and support their child, and strengthen the connection within your whole family.

Meet Stacy Santacroce, LCSW! 🌟

With 19+ years of experience, Stacy supports children, adolescents, and young adults in building resilience, coping skills, and emotional well-being.

When she’s not helping clients thrive, you’ll find her traveling, cheering at sports events, or spending quality time with loved ones 💛

Your teen doesn’t hate you. 💛

Sometimes it just feels that way because they need a safe space to navigate feelings, set boundaries, and find their own voice.

Parents often notice:
“They seem distant… I don’t know how to help… They feel judged when I try.”

Therapy gives teens a space where they’re not being “fixed” or told what to do—they’re being heard, understood, and supported. It’s not rebellion—it’s growth, independence, and learning to communicate in a safe space. 🌱

Therapy isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real 💭

Sometimes that looks like crying out of nowhere, laughing mid-story, forgetting what you wanted to say, or sitting in silence (and realizing that’s okay).

It’s about making tiny shifts, giving yourself grace when you derail, and learning that taking a pause doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means your body is asking for a breather.

And here’s the thing: all of this is normal. No two therapy experiences are the same, and that’s the point—your process is yours 💛

If you’ve been hesitant or don’t know what to expect, know that therapy is about meeting you where you are and creating a space where you can feel comfortable just being you.

Feeling the end-of-summer blues? Us, too 😅

This August Mental Health Bucket List is our gentle reminder from us to you: slow down, breathe deep, and make space for the things that fill your cup.

Because caring for your mental health can look like:

✨ watching the sunset at the shore
✨ finally opening that book on your nightstand
✨ walking without your headphones — just you and your thoughts
✨ saying no without the guilt

The season may be winding down, but there’s still time for intention, joy, and rest.

Use these or make your own list this weekend, just in time for the end of summer 💛
