At ChangeWell Psych, we understand that the holiday season can be especially challenging for those who struggle with body image concerns or disordered eating. This time of year often brings increased focus on food, family gatherings, and social events that can heighten anxiety, shame, or self-criticism around eating and appearance.

You don’t have to navigate these feelings alone. Our compassionate clinicians specialize in supporting individuals through the complex emotions that can surface during the holidays, helping you build a healthier relationship with your body and food. Through evidence-based therapy and a warm, understanding approach, we’re here to help you find balance, peace, and self-compassion this season.

Dr. Lainey Butler’s “Fact v. Myth: Disordered Eating” reel was so popular that she’s brought it back for round 2!

As a clinician who is passionate about working with people who struggle with disordered wring, Lainey knows eating disorders are often misunderstood by the general public. Recent statistics show that over 28 MILLION Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime, so education and support is crucial. Change IS possible. If you are struggling with disordered eating, we invite you to reach out to us today. You do not have to go through it alone.

September is CPTSD Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on the unique challenges faced by individuals living with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Unlike single-event trauma, CPTSD often results from prolonged or repeated exposure to traumatic situations, such as abuse or neglect, which can profoundly impact a person’s sense of self, their relationships, and their ability to regulate emotions.

At ChangeWell Psych, we understand the deep and lasting effects of CPTSD and are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for healing. This month, we want to raise awareness about the condition and encourage those who may be struggling to seek help. Remember, your past does not define your future, and with trauma-informed support, change and well-being are possible.

Finding a therapist who is identity-affirming because it ensures a safe, supportive space where you can express your true self. An identity-affirming therapist respects and validates your unique experiences, fostering trust and deepening the therapeutic process. This not only facilitates healing but also empowers you to explore and embrace all the the aspects of what makes you YOU!

In our newest blog post, ChangeWell clinician Aliya delves into what to look for (and what to avoid!) when seeking a therapist who is truly identity-affirming. To read Aliya’s post, head to changewellpsych.com/blog or check out our Mental Health Blog at the link in our bio!

Here at ChangeWell Psych, we believe in the transformative power of group therapy. It’s more than just a collection of individuals; it’s a dynamic community where authentic connection, mutual support, and profound healing flourish. ✨

We have some amazing group therapy opportunities coming this fall that we are so excited to share with you! All of our groups are grounded in effective, evidence based therapeutic approaches, such as DBT and ACT. We also partner with ’s PATH program to provide professional mental healthcare to transgender and gender-diverse individuals at no cost to them. We know that the connection, trust, and learning that comes from group therapy benefits the health of the transgender and gender-diverse community, and we join CTH in removing barriers for treatment wherever possible.

If you are desire to join any of our group opportunities, please reach out to us today! Groups are starting soon, and there are limited spots available!

The q***r community continues to be heavily under attack, and this is especially true for the most vulnerable of that community: q***r youth. Support is necessary, integral, and needed for beautiful, resilient, loving futures.

We’re excited to have Aliya present to the community at the Carolina Conference on Q***r Youth in October. It’s vital that we come together with open minds to learn. We hope to see you there!

Grief Awareness Day, observed annually on August 30th, is a day dedicated to acknowledging the profound impact of loss and creating a supportive space for those navigating the complexities of grief.

At ChangeWell Psych, we honor this day because we believe that grief is a natural, albeit painful, part of the human experience. It is not something to be “fixed” or hurried through, but rather a journey that requires compassion, patience, and understanding. We recognize that grief can manifest in countless ways—whether from the loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or a sense of normalcy—and that each person’s path is unique. By dedicating ourselves to grief awareness, we affirm our commitment to providing a warm and professional environment where individuals can feel seen, heard, and supported as they heal. We are here to walk alongside our clients, offering guidance and a safe harbor as they navigate the difficult waves of sorrow toward a place of renewed well-being.

If you need a safe, therapeutic space to begin, or even continue, your grief journey, please reach out to us. Our team is here for you.

Talley was one of the first clinicians to join the ChangeWell Psych team, and it has been such a privilege to work with her over the last couple of years. We’re so grateful for her contributions and dedication to our clients. We wish her all the best as she embarks on this exciting new chapter with a new practice, and we will definitely miss her!

Thank you for everything, Talley!

As a trauma-informed therapy practice, we are dedicated to amplifying the voices and experiences of marginalized communities. We recognize that historical and systemic inequities, coupled with unique cultural factors, significantly impact mental well-being and access to care. At ChangeWell Psych, our trauma-informed approach emphasizes understanding the pervasive effects of intergenerational trauma, discrimination, and microaggressions, which disproportionately affect minoritized individuals.

This July, as we observe Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we recommit to providing culturally sensitive and affirming therapeutic spaces, advocating for equitable mental healthcare policies, and collaborating with community organizations to dismantle barriers to healing. We believe true well-being emerges when we honor diverse lived experiences and address the root causes of distress with compassion and informed care.

On this Independence Day, we want to take a moment to share a new blog post that’s close to our hearts: The Myth of the Independent Woman (And Why She’s So Tired).

We hear this story from a lot of clients, and let’s be honest: we struggle with it, too. You know the drill – someone praises you for “handling everything alone,” like it’s a medal of honor. Maybe it’s your job, your relationships, your mental health, or just life’s endless demands. Everyone admires the “strong woman” who doesn’t need help, who carries her own weight without complaint. But beneath that applause, there’s a quiet, exhausting truth: it’s really lonely existing that way.

Because here’s what no one tells you: independence didn’t always mean freedom.

If you’ve ever felt tired from “doing it all,” maybe it’s time to ask:

Who do I want to show up for me?

How can I learn to accept love from others?

Because you don’t have to do it alone. In fact, you were never meant to.

There are real, legitimate reasons for the exhaustion so many of us feel. But that doesn’t mean we have to stay there. In therapy, we often talk about breaking down the idea that needing others is weakness. Especially for women socialized to be self-sufficient at all costs, needing people can feel like failure. But the reality is: that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Interdependence, vulnerability, and self-compassion are signs of incredible strength, and they’re available for you.
