Reassurance can feel helpful in the moment — but over time, it often makes anxiety stronger, not safer.

When we rely on reassurance to feel okay, we teach the brain that uncertainty is a threat. That’s how the reassurance–anxiety cycle keeps going.

This isn’t a personal failure. It’s a pattern — and patterns can be gently unlearned with the right support.

Healing begins with safety.
With space.
With compassion.

At Vital Minds Psychotherapy, we take a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes emotional safety, understanding your past, and creating a supportive environment where growth can happen at your pace.

Your story matters.
You don’t have to rush healing.
You don’t have to do it alone.

If you’re ready to explore therapy in a space that feels thoughtful, respectful, and grounded in evidence-based care, we’re here.

We are thrilled to welcome Julie as our new Clinical Supervisor!

As an experienced Clinical Supervisor and Registered Psychotherapist with 18 years of practice in diverse settings, Julie is dedicated to supporting the next generation of ethical, competent, and reflective clinicians. She blends coaching, mentoring, and professional guidance to help clinicians build the skills and confidence needed for a thriving career.

Julie believes that supervision is VITAL as it’s a collaborative, growth-oriented relationship where clinicians can safely explore case conceptualization, intervention choices, ethical practice, and the realities of navigating care independently. She offers a warm and supportive space to discuss clinical challenges, complex cases, burnout, and imposter syndrome, helping clinicians discover and refine their own authentic therapeutic approach.

We’re excited to benefit from her expertise, guidance, and passion for nurturing confident, skilled therapists!

Progressive muscle relaxation is a simple, evidence-based way to calm your nervous system.

By gently tensing and then releasing different muscle groups, you help your body shift out of fight-or-flight and into rest-and-digest.

This can help with:
• anxiety & stress
• muscle tension
• sleep difficulties
• feeling “on edge” or overwhelmed

The key isn’t how hard you tense, it's noticing the contrast between tension and relaxation. Your body learns what “relaxed” actually feels like!

Intake tip: Kids open up when they feel seen, not pressured. Rapport building is more important than rapid questioning!

You show up for your students every day, but now it’s time to have a space that shows up for you.

Therapy can help you process the load you’ve been carrying and remind you that you don’t have to hold it all together alone.

Constant exposure to filtered bodies, unrealistic waistlines, and face-altering effects can make your real reflection feel wrong, leading to shame, comparison spirals, and harmful beliefs about your body.

Therapy can help you rebuild a healthy relationship with your body by challenging distorted beliefs, strengthening self-compassion, and reducing the impact of online comparison.

Your body isn’t meant to look like a filter, and your worth isn’t measured by social media 💛

Seasonal changes can certainly impact your mood!

If you’re noticing shifts in your mental health, you’re not alone, many people feel it this time of year.

We encourage you to reach out for support if needed during this hectic time of the year 🤍

Intense sessions can be hard, especially when the goal is to work through unprocessed trauma.

As therapists, we will be there to support you and make the process as comfortable as possible.

Sometimes it’s the intense sessions that are the most empowering!
