Vista Counseling

Vista Counseling We approach this with a culture of humility, as well as an understanding that we are responsible for our own learning.

Vista Counseling & Wellness Center is committed to addressing cultural issues around implicit bias, racism, micro-aggressions, for communities of color and diverse backgrounds. We believe that this learning is lifelong. We strive to be allies in any way we can, work to be open to feedback when we make mistakes, and committed to putting meaningful action behind these sentiments.

How much is too much when it comes to screen time for our littlest ones?

Slow mornings are one of my favorite things. I am able to get up, get ready for the day, and eat, all on my own time (within reason of course, I haven’t forgotten the importance of being on time that you taught me). And as I sit here this morning, I’m overcome by a sense of gratitude for where I am.

In telling this story, I hope to honor not just where I come from, but also the shared human experiences that connect us all: the desire to belong, the effort to bridge difference, and the resilience it takes to build something new.

By Nooshi Ghasedi, MA, NCC My parents immigrated from Iran to the U.S. shortly before the Iranian revolution in 1979, leaving behind the familiar in search of safety, opportunity, and a new beginning. While they were excited to come to this new land that they hoped would fulfill their ambitions, the...

Mindfulness is all about being fully present in the moment, allowing us to savor life’s small joys, like the warmth of the sun or the sound of laughter.

Life can often feel like a whirlwind—filled with work, responsibilities and endless to-do lists. In the midst of it all, it’s easy to miss the simple moments of beauty that surround us. But as a seasoned nurse in palliative care, put it, “I find the beauty in the muddle.” Despite the challen...

When we bend ourselves to fit what others want, we slowly disappear. But when we show up as our full selves—with opinions, limits, and needs—we stop performing and start living.

We all love to be liked. There’s something comforting about being seen as the dependable one: the friend who listens, the co-worker who helps, the sibling who never makes a fuss. But here’s the question no one asks out loud: What if being “nice” is actually hurting you? When Being Nice Becom...
