Divorce doesn’t just end a relationship but it also can shake your identity, your sense of stability, and how you show up as a man and a parent.

That’s why I created The Reset Room, a virtual support group for men navigating divorce and separation.

This is not a place for bashing, blaming, or legal advice.

It is a place to reset your nervous system, rebuild your confidence, and learn how to move forward without falling apart to heal.

In this group, I help men:
• Regulate anger and stress responses
• Grieve the relationship without collapsing
• Communicate effectively (especially with a co-parent)
• Set healthy boundaries with an ex and extended family
• Manage triggers, jealousy, and intrusive thoughts
• Rebuild identity, confidence, and daily structure
• Reduce conflict and protect children emotionally

💻 Virtual group

💲 $35 cash pay per session
🧾 Insurance accepted (eligible plans)
📝 Pre-screening required

⚠️ No bashing. No legal advice. Just real support.

Space is limited.
If you’re ready to reset — not shut down — I’m here.

Have you ever felt unsettled, overwhelmed, or disconnected after childbirth, even when everything “looked fine” on the outside?

You’re NOT alone!!!

Many people carry emotional pain from their birth experience long after delivery — and it’s often misunderstood, minimized, or even dismissed.

✨ Birth trauma is real.
It can show up as anxiety, flashbacks, panic, avoidance, or emotional numbness — and it doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means your nervous system never had the chance to fully process what happened.

That’s where EMDR therapy can help.

In our latest blog, we explore how EMDR helps people heal from:

💛 Traumatic birth experiences
💛 Postpartum PTSD and anxiety
💛 Medical trauma related to childbirth
💛 Emotional pain that lingers long after delivery

This isn’t about forgetting your story — it’s about reclaiming peace with it.

Whether you’re healing yourself or supporting someone who is, this blog offers clarity, validation, and hope.

You deserve a body and mind that feel safe and present, not triggered.

When people discuss childbirth, the narrative is often framed as joyful, beautiful, and life-changing, and while birth can be all of those things, for some, birth trauma is real, and it is one of the most under-recognized forms of trauma in mental health care. I work with many clients who say: • ....

Social Media--- for some helpful, for others not so much .... What does it look like for you?

From a clinical perspective, social media affects more than attention; it impacts how the nervous system processes safety, comparison, and connection. • Rapid content shifts increase cognitive load • Comparison triggers stress and threat responses • Emotional content bypasses rational filterin...

With an upcoming winter storm approaching, it’s important to care for both your physical safety and your mental well-being. Changes in weather and routine can bring added stress, anxiety, or feelings of isolation for many people.

As you prepare, remember to slow down, stay connected when possible, and use simple grounding practices that help you feel supported. Taking care of your mental health during times of uncertainty matters just as much as preparing for the storm.

Please stay safe, warm, and gentle with yourself.

We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of a licensed mental health counselor who was killed this week in a violent incident at her place of work in Winter Park, Florida. A current client was also injured and is expected to survive.

Although she was not an FCA member, this loss
impacts our entire counseling community. It is a painful reminder of both the vulnerability inherent in our profession and the courage it takes to show up daily for others in their most difficult moments.

We extend our deepest condolences to her family, loved ones, clients, and colleagues, and we hold in our thoughts all those affected by this senseless act of violence.

During this time, we encourage counselors to lean on one another and to seek support as needed. Taking care of ourselves and each other is essential. FCA remains committed to supporting clinician well-being and safety, and we will share resources on workplace safety, risk assessment, and self-care in the coming days.

May we honor her life and service through compassion, unity, and continued care for our professional community.

Your thoughts and emotions deserve patience, care, and understanding—especially on the days that feel heavy. Taking a pause, setting boundaries, or asking for support are all meaningful steps toward mental wellness.

You don’t have to rush your healing. One moment at a time is enough.
