As we close out Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m still feeling full from the powerful connections that came from The Melanated in Mental Health Meet-Up. We gathered for a morning of food, fellowship, and Speed Networking: Healers Edition, all designed to help BIack clinicians feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

I get pure joy out of supporting other clinicians. I often think about how isolating it felt when I was starting out without guidance or community. I created this space so that other therapists who look like me can have a better, more connected experience.

If you’re a melanated therapist or therapist in training seeking community and connection, l’d love to hear from you:

🌿 Wellness Wednesday Reminder 🌿
May is still Mental Health Awareness Month, and we’re continuing to center conversations around wellbeing.

Last week,BTG Counseling & Educational Services had the opportunity to present on the 8 Dimensions of Wellness at Moravian University’s Center for Inclusive Excellence.

We engaged faculty and staff in an interactive workshop with a deep focus on Emotional Wellness—recognizing how essential it is to care for our inner world while navigating external demands.

Wellness is more than the absence of illness.
✨ Wellness is multidimensional – it includes emotional, physical, social, spiritual, occupational, financial, intellectual, and environmental well-being.
✨ Wellness is proactive and preventive– it’s about taking intentional steps toward balance and resilience before we’re in crisis.
✨ Wellness is holistic – it honors the whole person, recognizing how each part of our lives is connected.

🎓 If you’re a university or educational institution,now is the time to invest in the mental health and well-being of your faculty, staff, and students. Let’s create learning environments where wellness is woven into the culture—not treated as an afterthought.

It’s National Small Business Week, and I’m celebrating a powerful truth: Therapy is a tool to improve well-being. It is also a business and a profitable industry.

As a licensed therapist, educator, and small business owner, I’ve seen firsthand how mental health work requires not just passion and purpose, but also strategy, structure, and sustainability. I wish they would talk more about this in our graduate programs.

Many don’t understand that behind each session, workshop, or wellness service, there’s also:
🧾Invoicing, budgeting, and systems
📉Marketing, branding, and client experience
👩🏾‍🏫Team leadership if you have employees
📄License and business compliance
📖Research and skill development

Mental wellness isn’t just a service—it’s a cornerstone of our economy, influencing productivity, education, healthcare, and more.

At BTG COUNSELING AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, LLC. we are proud to be a mission driven business that centers mental health, provides culturally responsive care, and empowers communities through therapy and educational services.

This Small Business Week, I honor all of my colleagues building and sustaining the business of healing.

You’re not just running a private practice, you’re building an ecosystem of care. I wish you success, the presence of peace and the absence of burnout.

May marks Mental Health Awareness Month and National Teen Self-Esteem Month.

Mental Health Awareness Month highlights the importance of breaking stigma and increasing access to support and resources. National Teen Self-Esteem Month calls us to nurture how young people view and value themselves in a world full of pressure, comparison, and confusion.

BTG Counseling’s dynamic therapist and social worker Jaleen Mendez, LSW, led a group session for pre-teens and teens at the Bethlehem Boys & Girls Club. The topic: Managing Stress & Mindfulness for Youth. Jaleen discussed with teens what stress feels like in the body, how it impacted their mental health, and how to manage stress in healthy ways. It is so important that our children and teens have the language to describe what they are experiencing. This improves self-advocacy and we can also support them better.

Thank you for the partnership and opportunity to educate and engage our youth about mental health and wellness. We’re looking forward to next month’s session.

April is National Stress Awareness Month

Stress is a natural response to life’s challenges. When it becomes chronic, it can take a serious toll on our mental and physical health. Stress triggers the body’s “fight or flight” response, releasing cortisol and adrenaline.

Do you know one of the ways I like to reset and lower my stress levels? I step away and spend time with people that uplift my spirit.

Being around great company-close friends, family, or supportive colleagues reminds me that we’re more than our responsibilities and duties. I call it focusing on human being vs human doing. Great company can lower stress hormones, boost mood, and bring a fresh perspective.

Last week I recharged at Lincoln University, the nation’s first degree granting HBCU. The Women’s Business Enterprise Center East (WBEC East) Entrepreneurship Conference provided me with great networking opportunities, laughter with amazing women, and information that will help me grow as a person and business owner.

What do you do to reduce your stress?

“Bloom where you are planted”

Growth isn’t about waiting for the perfect conditions. It’s about thriving right where you are—leveraging your strengths and creating impact with the resources available to you.

When I started BTG COUNSELING AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, LLC. I didn’t wait for the “ideal” moment. I leaned into what I wanted to accomplish, who I wanted to serve, nurtured relationships, and built something meaningful from where I stood. That’s what growth is about—taking what you have and making the most of it. The journey was never promised to be easy or perfect.

✅ Have limited resources? Get in your creativity bag!
✅ Not in the “perfect” market? Find the gaps and meet the needs.
✅ Feeling stuck? Nurture your skills, your network, and mindset.

You have everything you need to bloom right where you are.

How have you embraced this mindset in your business, career or life?

📣Message!

Too often, we measure our worth by how others perceive us—whether they recognize our skills, respect our contributions, or acknowledge our presence. But here’s the truth: Your value is not dependent on someone else’s ability to see it.

Just because someone doesn’t assign value to you doesn’t mean you aren’t valuable. Think about a diamond—whether someone recognizes its worth or not, it remains valuable. The same applies to you and me!

Value isn’t just about external validation; it’s about knowing and owning your worth and who God says you are, even in spaces that may overlook you. It’s about understanding that your expertise, experiences, and presence bring something unique to the table.

So, if you find yourself in environments where your value isn’t recognized, don’t shrink yourself. Don’t second-guess your worth. Instead, stand firm in what you bring, and if necessary, find spaces that honor and appreciate the value you know you have.

February may be over, but honoring the contributions of Black people is a year-round commitment. As we step into March, we uplift and celebrate Women’s History Month—a time to recognize the powerful impact women have made in our communities, industries, and history.

I was deeply honored to be recognized at the HERstory 2025 Awards Ceremony alongside an incredible group of women who are making a difference. This recognition is a reminder that the work we do to serve others matters. I am grateful to be in community with women who are committed to positively changing the lives of others. Hearing their bios and decades long contributions inspires me to keep going!

The event was a beautiful celebration of inspiration and impact. Thank you to Kari Holmes, Executive Director of the Rising Sun Intitiative for creating a space to honor and uplift the work of Black women in our communities.
