October is Depression & Mental Health Screening Month đź’™

For me, this month serves as a reminder that there are many different ways to heal — and no single path works for everyone.

Therapies like EMDR and Neurofeedback can make a huge difference for people struggling with depression, trauma, or anxiety.

What I love about these approaches is that they focus on resilience:

✨ EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they feel less overwhelming
✨ Neurofeedback trains the brain toward healthier patterns and calm

If you’ve ever wondered about alternatives to talk therapy, I invite you to read more in my blog 👉 https://bit.ly/EMDR-NeuroFeedback-Explained

This month, I’m encouraging all of us to take a mental health screening and explore the options available. You never know which road to resilience may work best for you! 🌱

October highlights so many important mental health observances — from Depression & Mental Health Screening Month to Mental Illness Awareness Week and World Mental Health Day on October 1oth. 💙

It’s also a reminder that sometimes the path to wellness isn’t complicated. Simple, consistent practices — like mindfulness, rest, and connection — can make a profound difference.

October is ADHD Awareness Month, and I’m reimagining what healing can look like. 💛
So many people with ADHD are told to “try harder” or “just focus,” when what they really need is compassionate, evidence-based care that treats the whole person—not just symptoms.

At Awakenings Treatment Center, we’re integrating breakthrough approaches—from neurofeedback and nutritional psychiatry to trauma-informed therapy and mind-body practices—because ADHD often travels via anxiety, sleep issues, and emotional regulation challenges. When we address the why beneath the what, people start to feel better—and stay better.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you’re not alone and you’re not “broken.” There is real hope. I share more about how innovative care is changing outcomes here ⤵️

As we head into a new season, I’m reminded that clarity and peace often come from subtraction, not addition. 💛

This weekend, I’m revisiting a short piece I wrote on the quiet power of simplicity—how small, deliberate choices (one clear “yes,” one kind boundary, one mindful breath) can steady the nervous system and restore perspective.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, consider this your gentle nudge to simplify.

I hope it helps you find a calmer rhythm for fall. 🍂

🎮 When Gaming Becomes a Trap: Understanding ASD Vulnerability

Autistic teens and adults often find gaming appealing due to its clear rules, predictable feedback, and safe social spaces.

But those same strengths can tip into compulsive play, sleep loss, isolation, and mood dysregulation.

I've outlined what red flags to watch for (withdrawal from real-world routines, escalating time online, agitation on limits are set), why ASD neurology increases risk, and supportive steps families can take, without shame or power struggles.

If gaming is starting to run the household, help is available. I've included my guide below; please share it with someone who could find it helpful!

Autism is a different way of experiencing the world. 🌏

In my blog/podcast linked below, I debunk common myths about autism and share how we can create communities where neurodivergent people feel seen, safe, and supported.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, clinician, or leader, I offer practical steps—like honoring communication preferences, reducing sensory overwhelm, and focusing on strengths—that make belonging possible.

I meet so many people who think psychosis ends the conversation about what’s possible. It doesn’t. 💫

In one of my blogs this past summer, I explained how cognitive remediation retrains attention, memory, and problem-solving—giving the brain practical tools to heal and thrive.

If you or someone you love is navigating psychosis, there is a path forward, and it starts with gentle, consistent practice and compassionate support.

The Quiet Power of Simplicity & Mental Wellness

Sometimes the most profound healing comes from the simplest actions.

In my new blog article, “The Quiet Power of Simplicity & Mental Wellness,” I share how ordinary, rhythmic tasks — like folding laundry, washing dishes, or sweeping the floor — can calm the nervous system, ease stress, and even open the door to creativity.

I recorded this short video to set the tone for the article (it is also embedded on the blog post page).

Remember, wellness doesn’t always have to be complicated or flashy — it can be quiet, gentle, and profoundly transformative.

Healing doesn’t always come through words alone.

In my latest article, I share two powerful, evidence-based approaches that I often recommend for clients seeking deep and lasting relief from trauma, anxiety, and stress:

✨ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): a guided way to help the brain reprocess painful memories.

✨ Alpha-Theta Neurofeedback: gentle brain training that promotes calm, balance, and resilience.

Both approaches give the brain a chance to heal itself naturally—without years of traditional talk therapy. In fact, many clients benefit from combining them.

If you’ve ever wondered which path might be right for you, I invite you to read my article and explore these two healing modalities.
