We believe therapy should be accessible and effective.

At Healing Journey NL, we know that financial barriers often prevent people from getting the support they deserve. That’s why our practicum counsellors are now offering sliding-scale priced sessions under the supervision of Heather Cook, CCC.

Here’s why this matters:
Affordability: A lower-cost option for those without insurance or who’ve used up their yearly coverage.
Support & Growth: You’ll receive compassionate, professional care while helping new counsellors grow in their field.
Flexible Access: Sessions are available in-person (Conception Bay South) or virtually, so you can connect wherever you feel most comfortable.
Inclusive & Affirming: We are proud to be neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQ+ friendly.

Why sliding scale? Because healing should never be out of reach. Even one conversation can spark positive change.

5 Journal Prompts to Help You Feel Safe, Grounded & Ready for the Day

Starting your morning with a few minutes of journaling can help calm your mind and set your focus. Here are 5 prompts with a little guidance to get you started:

What in my life makes me feel safe right now?
→ Think about the people, places, or routines that bring you comfort.

What are three things I can notice with my senses?
→ Look around: name one thing you see, one thing you hear, and one thing you feel to anchor yourself in the present moment.

What’s one affirmation I want to carry with me today?
→ Try writing something supportive, like: “I am enough” or “I can handle what comes my way.”

If I begin to feel stressed, what’s one healthy coping strategy I can turn to?
→ Choose something small and realistic, like taking a walk, breathing deeply, or texting a friend.

What’s one small thing I’m looking forward to today?
→ It doesn’t have to be big—maybe your morning coffee, listening to music, or connecting with someone you care about.

Remember: even a few minutes of reflection can help you feel more grounded and resilient as you move through your day.

And if you’d like support building grounding practices or navigating tough emotions, our practicum counsellors are offering sliding-scale priced sessions under Heather Cook’s supervision. Email healingjourneynl@gmail.com to book a free 15-min consultation. 💙

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month

Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you are never alone. Every story matters, and every life has value.

Recent research shows there’s an important connection between ADHD and su***de risk. Why? Core ADHD traits like impulsivity can sometimes increase vulnerability, especially when paired with other challenges such as anxiety, depression, or substance use. This is why recognizing and supporting ADHD early on is such a powerful part of prevention.

If you or someone you love is living with ADHD and experiencing big feelings, know this: you deserve care, understanding, and support. Healing is possible, and asking for help is a sign of strength.
If you are in crisis:

• Call or text 988 (Su***de Crisis Helpline, 24/7)
• Kids Help Phone: 1-800-668-6868 or text CONNECT to 686868

At Healing Journey, our counsellors provide affirming, trauma-informed care for neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD. Together, we can reduce stigma, raise awareness, and create a community of hope and healing. ✨
