A great therapeutic option for those that perhaps do not seek therapy because of the cost. This might be a good way to get around that barrier. 

Meet our new intern Travis Welborn! If you or someone you know needs a low cost therapy option give us a call at (918)379-4431 and ask to see Travis.

Travis is a military veteran. He has also previously worked in the fitness field and spent much of his time helping the elderly regain or maintain their mobility. Travis is calm and gentle with a great sense of humor. He is especially interested in helping high school athletes and musicians with performance anxiety. And adults of any age with grief and purpose. Whatever your needs are give us a call!

The hourly rate to see Travis is $30. Lower options can be discussed if needed.

Happy Friday and here is some food for thought ...

This quote describes so many clients, but also dear friends. If this hits home, maybe it's time to consider talking to someone professionally? What if you could unpack this and find a way to re-balance yourself? What if you could learn to accept love from genuine sources? What if you could learn to love in a healthy way? What if you could learn that you are NOT the ONLY one that can (or should) fix all the things?

What if ... fill in the blank with your own response ...

and then, think about reaching out. Let someone walk with you through this ... you are NOT alone!

I noticed that I have some openings coming up in the next 1-2 months, so figured I'd post here to let people know. If you've considered therapy, but hesitated, why not give it a try now?

I work with people that are 21 and older, addressing mental health, addiction, and co-occurring challenges. I work with couples on a case-by-case basis (we can discuss your needs to ensure I'm the right fit). I also facilitate a group for older adult women, 60+ 1x a month.

Feel free to share with others. If you decide to schedule, be sure to tell them you saw this on my professional page on Facebook.

Thank you!

This is a humorous way of pointing out that therapists are REAL people that struggle as well. We are not here to judge you or shame you. We are here to walk beside you (and yes, sometimes, we laugh together). Your therapist is not a robot that has everything completely figured out, HOWEVER they might have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night (for those of you that remember the commercial, this should get a chuckle)! LOL ...

Therapy is HARD. So, why would people willingly go??? Many reasons!

Just because something is hard, challenging, or difficult to achieve doesn't mean it isn't worth it, right? Think about athletes, successful business persons, community leaders, parenting, marriage, families in general, etc. Those things come with ups-and-downs and various difficulties, but when we endure and find a healthy way through, we often end up with something even better. Now, sometimes, that "something better" involves setting boundaries, and possibly upsetting a few people along the way. True. However, being healthy is definitely worth ruffling a few feathers.

Therapy can also be wonderful, empowering, calming, and a reminder of just how incredible you are as an individual and contributor to this world. The right fit is important. Don't shy away from asking questions, and if your therapist is stepping on something that is too much, let them know - it's ok to slow things down and talk about puppies (or whatever else) while you re-center - don't just feel like you have to "push through" something that is becoming overwhelming in the moment!

Therapy is also a journey. No guarantees. No magic. Just 2 people in a room where you can "say all the things" and then, see what comes next.

Give it a try. You might surprise yourself. 🥰

A good friend and Therapist posted this, and it rings very, very true! Don’t be afraid of the hard work, and don’t assume because it’s difficult that you’re doing it wrong. Sometimes getting to the good place requires trudging through some challenges, but you’re never alone when doing so.

A little humor to start your day…

Truth. Keep going. You’re getting there!

Read that again.

You’re probably not giving yourself enough credit.

Progress doesn’t always feel loud.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Sometimes it’s just you, becoming the person you once wished you could be.

Drop a ❤️ if you needed this reminder today.
