We all want confidence, but we don't always want the process.

I (Christine) with my husband have taken our kids skiing since they were young. Confident is not the word I’d use to describe their first few runs.

But this photo? This was our boys and one of their friend's first black diamond run. Black diamonds are for advanced skiers and present some real challenges. Sure, they fell some, but they did it. They've done it again now with even more confidence.

Trying, failing/falling (quite literally), learning, and trying again was the recipe. If you aren't feeling confident yet, give it time. You're collecting the experience that will one day feel like confidence. You got this!

Confidence takes time!

We are thrilled that Sarah is now paneled with BCBS. She's great at what she does, and has spots available. If you have BCBS and need med-management, Sarah is the way to go! She also offers private pay options and can supply super bills to submit to your out of network benefits, if you don't have BCBS.

When we think about trauma, we may picture only big, obvious events. But the truth is, trauma shows up in classrooms, clinics, offices, courtrooms, and homes every day. It affects how kids learn, how employees show up to work, how families relate, and how communities thrive.

That’s why it matters that people across all disciplines — educators, medical providers, mental-health professionals, law enforcement, business leaders, pastors, coaches, and anyone who works with people — understand what trauma really is and how to respond well.

If you want to be better equipped to meet hurting people with wisdom and care, this is a valuable opportunity to learn, connect, and grow.

Hello Capital Area! In partnership with Whole Health Louisiana, the Capital Area Trauma Collaborative is launching the first ever Capital Area Trauma Summit this Fall.

Join us on November 14th to increase our wisdom around trauma and how we can change the trajectory of the Capital Area and our state as a whole.

Gabi and Christine showed up in almost the exact same dress—it was totally unplanned, but it got us thinking about behavior matching.

In the counseling world, behavior matching (mirroring a child’s body language, tone, or energy level) is a powerful tool for building connection. When kids feel “matched,” they often feel seen and understood.

Just like Gabi and Christine unintentionally matched on the outside, matching your child’s behavior on the inside creates trust and strengthens your bond.

💡 Try it out:
• Sit the way they’re sitting.
• Match their tone of voice.
• If they’re full of energy, step into that energy with them for a bit before inviting calm.

Sometimes, the smallest act of matching can open the biggest door for connection.

*Your mental health is always worth the investment—and a superbill might help put some of that investment back in your pocket.* Did you know many people have out of network benefits on their insurance plans? Sarah, our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, has had many patients who have been successful in receiving out of network benefits from the services she provides. Our counselors can also offer a superbill to submit to your insurance as well. We're happy to provide this for you!
