This week we navigated,
Grief.
Divorce.
Anxiety.
PTSD.
Binge eating disorder.
Stress.
Hopelessness.
(And more)
New clients.
Clients taking a pause.

We used modalities like:
EMDR
ACT
DBT
ERP
Narrative
Emotion Focussed Individual Therapy
Emotion focussed couples therapy.

We collaborated by:
Meeting with each other today to review our ED specific programs.
Reaching out to other clinicians to effectively refer clients.
Brainstormed how to make our space accessible for a client in need.
Talked to several clients on the phone who are considering therapy.
Had 3 one on one meetings with therapists on the team.
Welcomed back clients who started their work with Remi again.

There are many days in this field of work that can feel like we aren’t a making a dent in the pain that people are facing. Sometimes I need to take a moment to reflect to quiet the part of me who fears it’s not enough.

I know some of you can relate.

Take a moment to recognize your efforts this week. Whether it’s getting out of bed or completing a task on your to do list. When we move to fast we miss the beauty in the details.

Happy Friday ✌🏼

Thank you Tracey, Sasha, Shelagh, Luisa, Marcia, Paula, Andrea, Jennifer, Lindsay and Remi for bringing so much to this work, you’re all amazing.

“It may be rare in the world, but there are genuinely people who want to see you win in life and these are some of them.”

If only I could publish a newsletter sharing all the amazing things I see my clients “winning” at. It’s truly wonderful doing this work and being surrounded by clinicians who care so deeply about each of you.

Thanks again for capturing these moments.

Welcome back, Remi!

Remi is starting back in the office today after taking some time off to be a mom. We are grateful to have Remi with us in-person and online on Wednesdays and Thursdays. She brings a passion to her work that is infectious. Her clients have all been eagerly awaiting her return and we can’t wait to see you back in the space.

“There is something profoundly human about telling your story and having someone stay. Not to fix it. Not to rush it.
Just to understand it with you.”

That’s where therapy begins, in the space where you are no longer alone with your thoughts. It takes courage to sit with yourself, to say things out loud you’ve barely let yourself think.

Therapy is courage practiced quietly.

And we love helping you get there.

We’ve lost the plot I’m afraid folks.

If you’ve ever struggled long term with your mental health you know what I’m talking about. You’ve reached out, you’ve been vulnerable, you’ve asked for what you need and you’ve been let down. You’ve reached out, people were there for a bit, and after a certain amount of time it stopped. You’ve reached out desperate for understanding and they’ve tuned their back on you.

I’ve seen this time and again professionally and I’ve experienced this personally.

We’re surrounded by messaging that puts the person struggling in charge of doing the leg work. Reaching out, getting help, asking for support and we aren’t acknowledging that there are fewer and fewer people and places who have it in them to help. We tell people to expand their support networks, to tell people what’s going on in their lives only to have them be ignored.

It’s disappointing to say the least and it represents a much larger problem we are facing as a community of disconnected, preoccupied people and we need to find our way back again.

I know we can find our way to this place.
We need to.

Sometimes when things feel super huge and complex you turn away because the mountain looks too big. It’s not your job to walk the whole mountain with them. Even if you can’t climb the whole mountain, sending a couple thoughts someone’s way when they’re at the bottom can make a huge difference.

We got this ✌🏼💙

“Just like the seasons, people are meant to grow, change, and begin again.”

Every season we see an influx in people shifting their therapy needs. Lots of new referrals along with people taking a pause. Recently we have had a lot more people interested in our programs for the treatment of more complex presentations like our Eating Disorder programs.

Our approach is tailored to meet the needs of each person. We work with you to help understand the importance of how we have designed things and we make sure to collaborate along the way.

If the changing seasons bring new awareness, motivation or energy you’re not alone.

April showers bring May flowers, right?

I think you’re right it’s definitely information overload on this space lately.

So instead of an informative post about mental health, I’m sharing the moment I realized peri menopause is in the house for this lady. 100% sober, just a series of brain blips with a bunch of supportive therapists trying to help me out 🤭😳✌🏼

“I think we need a blow torch”
“Is this that song? You know the guy?!”
Jenn thinking to herself “wtf have I got myself into this lady is nuts”
Shelagh “It’s not going to cut it” 🤣

As therapists we hold a lot on our shoulders in each session with our clients. I find myself reminding both clients, myself and the women I work with that so much happens in this 60 minutes we spend in our sessions.

It’s not always breakthroughs and big moments.
We can’t take away all the pain, challenges and our job isn’t to “fix” in that 60 minutes.

It’s small shifts, a new perspective, a softened edge, a little more understanding of yourself.

And sometimes, it’s just being witnessed. Fully. Honestly. Without judgment.

Over time, 60 minutes become something more.
A place where growth happens quietly,
where patterns begin to make sense,
where you learn that you’re allowed to take up space in your own life.

That’s a really powerful freaking hour.

No magic wand.
No one arriving broken.

For all of you who commit that 60 minutes to yourself weekly, monthly or whenever you can; it’s truly amazing.

It’s the end of an era as we say goodbye to our grey chaise and welcome our latest couch to the family.

She’s a beauty and will add a more inclusive seating opportunity for our between client siestas;)

Change is hard.
Couches shouldn’t be.

Happy Friday everyone ✌🏼💙

We work with a lot of parents (or those questioning whether they want to be parents) mainly women, who are incredibly concerned about “doing right” by their kids.

They are either in the thick of parenting while re-parenting themselves or worried about the potential of this.

As a parent myself there are several well meaning accounts on this platform and books that mainly make me feel like I’m failing at being the parent my kids need.

We want to support parents with understanding and long term support that doesn’t offer a quick fix or simplify a complex process. Parenting kiddos who can talk about their feelings, throw down in the middle of a grocery store because damn it the lighting sucks, it’s hot and they’re probably hungry is actually pretty damn rewarding as you can see them authentically doing what the need. It can also wreck our nervous systems and bring all of our insecurities to the surface.

We are doing something cool at CCP in a couple weeks. Andrea and Paula and I have decades of experience with children and parents. We are bringing you an introductory workshop for you AND your kiddos.

I’m tired of seeing too many parents feeling like they’re failing when they are actually kicking ass.

I can’t wait for this.
Please take a look at the description on our website and registered asap.

Carly Crawford, Psychotherapist

My name is Carly Crawford and I created "Find Your Voice Counselling" because I am passionate about helping individuals battling eating disorders. As someone who struggled with mental illness, I faced great challenges when it came time for me to get help. For this reason I have devoted my work to supporting those in need. Keep up to date for information on support groups, events and workshops.
