🧠✨ Mental Health Check-In Time! ✨🧠
Let’s play a quick game:

🌞 I got out of bed today = 10 points
🚿 Took a shower = 15 points
🍽️ Ate something green = 20 points
🎶 Danced to your favorite song = 25 points
📱 Put your phone down for 30 mins = 30 points
😄 Laughed (even at a meme) = 35 points
📖 Did something just for you = 50 bonus points 💖

💬 Total up your points & drop your score below!
No judgment — every little win matters. Even if you’re at 10 points, that’s progress. 🙌🏽

Your mental health matters.
You matter.
Keep showing up — one deep breath at a time. 💚

🧠 MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS — AND IT’S TIME WE TALK ABOUT IT.

For too long, society has told men to “tough it out,” “be strong,” or “man up.” But the truth is, real strength is found in vulnerability, self-awareness, and the courage to ask for help.

As a psychologist working with men, I’ve seen how deeply stress, unresolved trauma, grief, anger, and shame can silently affect mental health, relationships, and purpose. Too often, men suffer in silence — not because they’re weak, but because they were never taught how to speak.

🔹 You don’t have to carry it all alone.
🔹 You’re not broken — you’re human.
🔹 Seeking support is not weakness — it’s leadership over your own life.

Let’s normalize emotional health for men. Let’s raise sons who know that it’s okay to cry and husbands who feel safe being seen. Let’s create space for men to heal.

🌿 Let’s Talk About Women’s Mental Health 🌿

Too often, women carry invisible loads—juggling roles, nurturing others, and pushing through even when emotionally depleted. But here’s the truth: your emotional wellness matters just as much as your physical health.

✨ Today, I want to remind you:
• You’re allowed to say no.
• You’re allowed to outgrow people and patterns that drain you.
• Healing is not selfish. It’s sacred.
• Asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness.

If you’re feeling emotionally stretched, anxious, or like you’re losing pieces of yourself—please know, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode.

Let’s normalize therapy. Let’s normalize mental wellness. Let’s create space for healing without shame.

💬 Feel free to share or comment if this speaks to you. Together, we grow stronger.

Lorena also provides parenting support as a key part of the therapeutic process and partners with families to foster growth and healing at every stage.

In addition to working with children and teens, Lorena is also working towards her perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) to offer support to women working through the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood.
