🌱 Healing is a journey, not a race. 🌱

This simple image beautifully reminds us: growth is not always linear. Healing is hard, messy, and — most importantly — it takes time.

Wherever you are in your process, it’s okay. You are growing even when you can’t see it yet.

If you need support along the way, we’re here for you.

Ever notice how much stress comes from our own thoughts, not the actual situations we’re in? 💭

The Work of Byron Katie is a simple but profound method of self-inquiry that helps you challenge the thoughts that cause pain. With just 4 questions and a “turnaround,” you can shift your mindset, gain clarity, and find peace—even in the middle of chaos.

Her bestselling book Loving What Is explains how this process works, and it’s helped millions rethink the way they relate to the world and themselves.

Have you tried The Work? We can help you "work" through this change process model. DM us anytime!

Perimenopause and menopause are profound yet often overlooked transitions that can significantly impact mental health. Many women experience heightened anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation due to fluctuating hormones, sleep disturbances, and societal stigma surrounding aging. Despite affecting half the population, these challenges remain under-discussed (and under-funded) in both healthcare and mainstream conversations.

Oprah Winfrey’s new special, The Menopause Revolution, Halle Berry’s Re-Spin platform and The Magic of Menopause course, and Naomi Watts’ book, Dare I Say It, are changing the narrative by shedding light on this critical issue. Through candid discussions and expert insights, they empower women to navigate peri/menopause with knowledge, support, and dignity — breaking the silence on a topic that has been ignored for too long.

ADAA member Bernadine Waller, PhD, LMHC, and colleagues, in their NIH-published paper Should We Trust You?, highlight that “the underrepresentation of BIPOC mental health professionals adversely affects mental health help-seeking” in communities of color. They warn that without providers who share cultural, linguistic, and lived experiences, BIPOC individuals are more likely to remain distrustful of mental health services.

The shortage is even more pronounced when broken down by race:

💔 Hispanic & Latino: 1 therapist per 1,214 people
💔 Asian: 1 therapist per 920 people
💔 Black & African American: 1 therapist per 660 people
💔 Native American: 1 therapist per 125 people

In contrast, White therapists are available at more than three times the rate of BIPOC therapists.

Addressing this disparity is essential for equitable access to mental health care!
