Thoughtful reflections, clinical insights, and real conversations.
Our journal is a space where we share what we’re learning, noticing, and thinking. Whether you’re new to therapy, returning after time away, or simply curious about how growth and change unfold, our hope is that these writings offer something useful, grounding, and encouraging. We believe that mental and relational health should be talked about openly and with care, and we’re honored to be part of that conversation.
There’s more to say than what fits in a session.
What happens in therapy is personal, private, and often hard to put into words. But as a team, we spend a lot of time thinking about the themes that show up in the room: grief, identity, healing, relationships, change. Our journal is where we put some of those thoughts into writing. These posts are meant to offer perspective, reflection, and maybe even a little clarity for anyone wondering what therapy is really about, and why it matters.

Is Therapy Right for ENM and Poly Relationships?
We understand that ENM and poly relationships deserve the same care, nuance, and support as any other relationship. In fact, navigating multiple partnerships often requires heightened emotional insight, clear communication, and a strong foundation of trust. Therapy can help support and strengthen these capacities, not because something is broken, but because your relationships matter and deserve attention.
Deconstruction Doesn’t Mean Destruction
If you’re questioning the beliefs you grew up with, you may have heard the word deconstruction. Maybe it feels like exactly what you’re doing. Maybe it feels like a loaded or even frightening term. Either way, you’re not alone.
When Pain, Anxiety, or Trauma Impact Intimacy
Our bodies carry stories. Our nervous systems respond to memories, messages, and environments we may not even be consciously aware of. And when intimacy becomes a place where those responses are triggered, it can feel disorienting, isolating, or even shameful.
How Movement Can Support Emotional Regulation
Movement can be one of the most effective ways to support emotional regulation. Not as a cure-all or a distraction, but as a tool to help your body process what words alone sometimes cannot.
What to Expect in a Medication Management Appointment
Your initial appointment isn’t about diagnosing and prescribing as quickly as possible. It’s a conversation. You’ll meet with our integrative physician and talk through your experiences, symptoms, health history, and any questions or concerns you’re carrying.
What Therapy Can Offer People Living with Chronic Conditions
Living with a chronic illness or chronic pain condition is often described as a full-time job. It is one you never applied for, cannot clock out of, and rarely get recognition for managing. It affects your body, of course, but it also affects your time, your relationships, your identity, and your emotional wellbeing.
Signs It Might Be Time to Talk to a Therapist
If your stress feels constant, your thoughts feel tangled, or your emotions feel too big to manage, therapy can help you slow down and make sense of what’s happening. You don’t need to have a clear diagnosis or a single identifiable cause. Feeling persistently overwhelmed or anxious is reason enough to seek support.
How Therapy Can Help After a Breach of Trust
Rebuilding trust is not about saying the right thing or making a single decision to forgive. It’s an ongoing process of showing up, being honest, and creating emotional safety again over time.
Talking to Your Child About Starting Therapy
The conversation about starting therapy often sets the tone for how a child experiences it. A thoughtful, honest, and age-appropriate introduction can go a long way toward helping your child feel supported and open to the process. On the other hand, skipping the conversation or rushing through it can sometimes reinforce the idea that therapy is something to hide or be nervous about.
