🫶 Things we've learned from our team practice:

1️⃣ everything is better with a team. the highs, the lows, and definitely all the moments in between.
2️⃣ the biggest laughs are often shared with the littlest people.
3️⃣ community empowerment is healing (and keeps us going).
4️⃣ a team brings more ideas, perspectives, and experiences.
5️⃣ when it comes down to it, connection and collaboration is the foundation of everything (in therapy and in a team).

If you're part of a team practice, we'd love to hear what you value most!

🔊 Exception Seekers - The things we don't say out loud, with Jacklyn Frias 🔊

In this episode of Exception Seekers, Jacklyn Frias shares an honest and deeply personal conversation about the transition into motherhood, identity shifts, and her experience with postpartum depression.

Before becoming a mom, Jacklyn describes a structured, confident life rooted in routine, fitness, and a clear sense of self. But after the birth of her first child, she found herself navigating an unexpected and isolating struggle with postpartum depression; one that challenged both her personal identity and professional beliefs as a therapist and trainer.

Through her journey, Jacklyn reflects on the limitations of “prescribed paths” to health and happiness, and how lived experience reshaped her perspective on empathy, support, and what it truly means to meet people where they are.

The conversation explores the ongoing process of redefining identity in motherhood, the often-unspoken grief that accompanies major life transitions, and the pressure many women feel to appear “okay” while silently struggling.

Worry. It finds us all.

And while it's common and typical, if worry is around for too long, it can start to get in the way of us doing things we want to do. Learning to tolerate the discomfort of emotions - knowing they will pass - is such an important skill. If you want ideas on how to help a young person in your life with their worries, we've got lots and are happy to share.

What's something you worry about? How do you help your worry?

We'd love to hear your thoughts 🔽

🔊 Exception Seekers - The missing support system: Why families need doulas, with Emily Beauchamp 🔊

Meet Emily Beauchamp, a full-spectrum doula and owner of Growing Together Doula Services in Muskoka.

In this episode, Emily shares how her experiences with pregnancy, postpartum struggles, and breastfeeding challenges led her to pursue a career supporting families through the entire perinatal journey. We explore what a full-spectrum doula actually does, and how doulas help bridge important gaps in care.

The conversation also dives into maternal mental health, the realities of postpartum life, and why the idea of “it takes a village” is more important than ever. This episode is an honest and compassionate look at the transition into parenthood, the invisible work of caregiving, and how we can all play a role in supporting new parents.

We hope you'll SHARE and have a LISTEN 🙏 https://tinyurl.com/42827s89

😬 We're just going to put this out there - there are things that can happen in counselling that can feel uncomfortable and aren't okay - so let's talk about them!

Straight up, it's not cool if....

👎 your counsellor tells your parents things without asking you if it's okay, doesn't have supervision, and doesn't keep learning new things.

🫣 your counsellor isn't listen, shares information about other clients with you, overshares about themselves, or suggests that you "aren't doing counselling 'right'."

In fact, some of these things cross professionals lines that your counsellor has agreed to uphold!

If counselling feels like it's "off," trust your intuition, ask questions, talk a trusted adult about what you're feeling and what's happening.

And remember - just because your counsellor is an adult, it doesn't mean they know everything!

here's hoping...

that today brings you what you need.
that challenges are within your capabilities.
that you get the support you're looking for.
that you have moments of gentleness.
