Ever wonder why you react the way you do in relationships? 🤔
The way your parents raised you didn't just shape your childhood—it's still influencing your adult life today. Whether you find yourself:
✨ Setting the same boundaries your parents did (or rebelling against them completely)
✨ Struggling with self-worth or people-pleasing tendencies
✨ Feeling "stuck" in patterns that don't serve you anymore..it might all trace back to your earliest experiences with love, rules, and emotional safety.
Which parenting style did you grow up with?
🏠 Authoritative: "Let's figure this out together"
🚫 Authoritarian: "Because I said so!"
🤷‍♀️ Permissive: "You can do whatever you want"
😶 Uninvolved: "That's not my problem"
Here's the beautiful truth: You're not stuck repeating these patterns. Understanding your childhood is the first step to rewriting your story—whether that's healing your own wounds or choosing a healthier approach with your kids.
Ready to break free from what's holding you back? 💪

Your past doesn't define your future—but understanding it can transform it.

✨ Is Psychotherapy Covered by OHIP? ✨
The answer is: it depends on who provides the service. 💡
💙Services from Registered Psychotherapists (RP) or Social Workers (RSW) are not covered by OHIP, but many insurance plans do cover them. How much is covered will depend on your individual insurance policy.
🩺 Psychotherapy provided by an Ontario physician is covered by OHIP.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to check both your insurance coverage and your service provider before starting therapy. 🌱

🌿 Did you know? Natural environments give your brain's attention system a break.🌿
Your brain's attention system works overtime in urban environments. Traffic lights, car horns, street signs, crowds, your working environment - everything demands your focused attention, creating mental fatigue without you even realizing it.
Nature works differently. Research shows natural environments provide what scientists call "soft fascination":
🌿 Your mind can wander freely
🌿 No need to filter out distractions
🌿 Gentle engagement without mental strain
🌿 Attention restoration happens automatically
Think of it like this: cities are like having 20 browser tabs open, while nature lets you close them all and refresh.
Even looking at trees through your office window can help your brain recover from mental fatigue.

✨ What Are the Four Pillars of Mental Health? ✨
Life can be challenging—especially for those experiencing mental health struggles, as well as their loved ones, caregivers, and partners. 🫶 To build a strong foundation for mental well-being, it’s important to care for the four key pillars of mental health:
1️⃣ Therapy & Counseling – Individual, group, or family support
2️⃣ Healthy Lifestyle – Sleep, exercise, nutrition, and meaningful activities
3️⃣ Support Network – Friends, family, or peer support groups
4️⃣ Medication (when needed) – Optimized medical care to support recovery

Together, these pillars create a holistic support system—helping individuals improve quality of life, regulate emotions, strengthen relationships, and learn healthy ways to express feelings and navigate challenges. 💙

🌿 Mental health isn’t just about one resource—it’s about finding balance across all four pillars.

🌿 Did you know? Your daily walk could be more powerful than you think!🌿
Research shows that just 10 minutes in nature - whether it's a park, tree-lined street, or even your backyard - creates measurable changes in your brain and body:
✨ Stress hormones (like cortisol) drop within minutes
✨ Mood scores improve significantly
✨ Your nervous system shifts into "rest and restore" mode
✨ Mental fatigue decreases noticeably

The best part? It doesn't have to be a wilderness adventure. Your lunch break stroll through a local park, sitting under a tree, or even tending to a small garden all count.
Think of it as a 10-minute mental health investment that pays immediate dividends.

🗣️ Testimonial 1:
👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️Grace Health Centre provided me with the most responsibilities, patient interaction, and most importantly the opportunity to ask questions and learn. My favorite part of Grace Health Centre is that the doctors are so friendly and will provide opportunities to shadow and discuss unique cases (with patients’ permission). They are also more than willing to sit and talk to volunteers about different cases they have come across over the years. 💬
🗣️ Testimonial 2:
🩺I have been recently accepted to Western’s medical school. I would say the experience with Grace Health Centre in the past year was the key to making this happen amongst all the other activities. Not only was I gaining valuable healthcare experience but I developed important skills needed for healthcare professionals. With the physicians’ guidance, I have been able to build my self-directed learning, collaboration, critical thinking as well as interacting with others in a professional manner. ❤️
🌟Also, the physicians took a great interest in my pursuit of medicine, taking time to help refine my med school applications, my answers for interviews, and approaches to different healthcare scenarios. They have been with me every step of this year’s application cycle, providing knowledge and support. I don’t think I could have done it without Grace Health Centre.
💜 Be part of a supportive, diverse team 🌍 truly dedicated to holistic healing—mind 🧠, body 💪, and spirit ✨.
