BTW Counseling Hi, I’m Shae—your “big sister therapist” here to help you find real growth and healing!

If you’re ready for honest support, a safe space, and the courage to tackle tough stuff, I’m here for kids, teens, and adults facing anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and more.

Me: says one slightly awkward thing in a conversation

The other person: moves on with their day.

My ADHD + rejection‑sensitive brain:
‘Congratulations, we will now be thinking about this every night before bed for the rest of our lives.’

If you:
-Replay convos on loop
-Assume ‘they must be mad at me’ when someone sends ‘K’
-Feel physically sick after you think you embarrassed yourself
…it might be rejection sensitivity / RSD, not you being ‘too sensitive’.

Good news: with therapy, body‑based calming tools, and some solid reality‑checks, your brain can learn that awkward ≠ unlovable.

ADHD or just tired?
Trick question. It can be both.

ADHD can look like:

Scrolling your phone while your coffee gets cold

Forgetting what you walked into the room for

Needing a deadline to unlock ‘turbo focus’ mode

If this feels like your daily life, you’re not lazy or broken. Your brain just uses a different rulebook. Therapy can help you learn it instead of fighting it every day.

Happy World Book Day 📚

My bookshelf:

47 self‑help books

12 productivity books

9 ‘fix your life in 5 steps’ books

Also my brain:
‘Cool cool cool… still anxious though.’ 😅

Books can be amazing tools, but they can’t ask follow‑up questions, notice your patterns, or sit with you when the chapter hits too close to home.

If you’ve highlighted half the book and still feel stuck, it might be time to bring those insights into therapy instead of staying in your own head about them.

Have you ever watched a kids’ movie about emotions and thought, ‘Oh… that’s my brain’?

Inside Out did one thing really well: it showed that ALL feelings have a job.

Even the ones we don’t like:
Anxiety = trying (a little too hard) to keep us safe
Anger = protecting our boundaries
Sadness = asking for comfort and connection

In therapy, we don’t try to kick emotions out of the control room. We help them work as a team.

Hi there! For those who are new here, I’m Shae, your friendly neighborhood ADHD therapist.

Yes, I:

-Forget what I was saying mid‑sentence
-Have 37 tabs open (in my brain and my browser)
-Set reminders… to check my other reminders

ADHD isn’t a character flaw. It’s a different operating system that sometimes needs better instructions, tools, and a lot of self‑compassion.

If you’ve ever thought, ‘Can a therapist really get my ADHD brain?’ — hi, it me. 😅

One simple Sunday practice that actually helps: write down three things that felt hard this week and one thing you handled better than you expected.

Not a gratitude list. Not toxic positivity. Just honest acknowledgment that you showed up — even imperfectly.

You did hard things this week. That counts. 💙

Save this for your Sunday wind-down. 👇

Nature isn't just pretty — it's actually medicine for your nervous system. 🏔️

Research shows that spending time in nature lowers cortisol (your stress hormone), reduces rumination, and improves mood — sometimes faster than any other intervention.

It's Friday and somewhere a therapist is sitting in this exact chair mentally reviewing their own week. 😂

Therapists are human too. We laugh, we spiral a little, we also have a therapist.

Fun brain fact: every time you learn something new or process a hard emotion, your brain literally rewires itself. 🧠✨

This is called neuroplasticity — and it means that healing isn't just a feeling, it's a measurable physical change in your brain.

Therapy works because it changes your brain. Save this for the next time someone asks if therapy is "worth it."

Therapist brain never fully clocks out. 😂

Watching a movie: "That character clearly has an anxious attachment style and unresolved childhood wounds."

At a family dinner: "Interesting. I'm going to need to process this later."

If you've ever accidentally therapized a stranger, you're one of us. 👇

You've probably heard of ketamine as an anesthetic. But KAP — Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy — is something different entirely. 🧠✨

Here's what the research shows it can do:
→ Rapidly reduce treatment-resistant depression
→ Create a window of neuroplasticity — meaning your brain is literally more open to change
→ Help process trauma from a new perspective
→ Break cycles that talk therapy alone hasn't been able to shift

It's not a magic fix. But paired with therapy, it can open doors that felt permanently closed.
