Every September, we pause to recognize Su***de Prevention Month—a time to raise awareness, hold space for hard conversations, and remind one another that help is real, healing is possible, and no one has to go through it alone.

In a world that often asks us to “keep it together,” many people are silently struggling. Many of us are fighting silent battles without the knowledge of what each of us are going through. This is a time to come together to remember: none of us are alone.

And while it may feel impossible in the moment, there is hope—even in the darkest of times.

On this we share 3 key signs your child or adolescent may benefit from therapy:

1. Sleep, Appetite, or Energy Changes
Persistent trouble sleeping, significant appetite changes, or noticeable drops in energy lasting more than two weeks may signal emotional distress that needs professional support.

2. Academic Performance Decline
Watch for dramatic grade drops, frequently forgotten assignments, or sudden disinterest in schoolwork - especially when teachers report attention or behavioral concerns.

3. Social Withdrawal or Increased Conflict
If your child or adolescent avoids friends, stops enjoying social activities, has frequent peer conflicts, or shows increased irritability and explosive reactions at home, therapy can help.

Seeking therapy is not a failure. Early intervention provides valuable coping strategies and often leads to better outcomes.

Connect with us to schedule a session.

It's and with some shifts happening, we thought we'd share...
3 Signs You Need a Break

1. You're Constantly Irritable
If every little thing is starting to upset you, it's time to hit the pause button. You're not a grumpy cat, so why are you acting like one?

2. Everything Feels Like an Obligation
Work, friends, even hobbies... If everything feels like a chore, it's a clear sign you need a breather. Life's not meant to be a never-ending to-do list.

3. You Feel Drained
Physically. Emotionally. Mentally.
If you're running on empty, it's time to refuel. You can't pour from an empty cup, can you?

Have Something Else to Add to the list? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Need some guidance in pressing pause, contact us. We're here to help.

Anxiety, depression, stress, can all be helped by finding ways to calm our nervous system down. Reiki is a great option! Look for our event with Ray Of Light Reiki in the month of September here on Facebook or our website.

🌿 Reiki & Mental Health 🌿

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained? Reiki might help.

Reiki is a gentle, energy-based healing technique that promotes relaxation and emotional balance. By calming the nervous system, it may reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression — helping you reconnect with a sense of peace and clarity.

✨ Benefits may include:
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved sleep
• Emotional release and grounding
• Enhanced mental clarity

While Reiki isn’t a replacement for therapy or medical care, it can be a powerful complement on your healing journey.

👐 Breathe. Release. Heal.

As we enter the weekend. Make it a feel-good, care free one. Give yourself the permission to rest.

Say it, believe it, and do it.

"I give myself permission to rest."
"I give myself permission to rest."
"I give myself permission to rest."

Rest is not wasted time. Rest is repair, fuel, and renewal.

While some equate rest to sleep, there are 7 types of rest needed:
1. Physical: Relaxation that restores the body. This can be gentle movement, getting a massage, yoga, or stretching. Relieve muscle tension, repair the body, and restore your energy.
2. Mental: Take a break from the constant problem-solving, planning or decision-making. Take short breaks this weekend. Journal, meditate, do something fun! Prevent brain fog, racing thoughts, and decision fatigue.
3. Emotional: Express yourself authentically. Talk to trusted friends or seek therapy to set boundaries and journal emotions honestly. Reduce emotional overwhelm and increase inner peace.
4. Social: Balance your energy and spend time with those you choose to. Spend time with supportive people. Restore social energy.
5. Creative: Restore your sense of inspiration and imagination. Spend time in nature, listen to music, or enjoy art. Refuel your ability to innovate and solve problems.
6. Spiritual: Connect with something bigger than yourself. Try meditating, volunteering or a gratitude practice. It will bring deep peace and meaning.
7. Sensory: Relief from overstimulation. Try sitting in silence or being in a quiet environment. It will calm the nervous system.

As autumn quietly arrives, nature invites us to pause and listen.

The days shorten. The air cools. Trees begin their slow, graceful release—letting go of what they no longer need. One leaf at a time, they surrender—not out of fear, but out of wisdom.

There’s something profoundly grounding about the way nature moves through change: unrushed, intentional, and beautiful. And in this, we’re reminded that we, too, can let go.

Learn to let go, by reading our new blog post...
