If you wouldn’t say it to your best friend, child, parent, etc., don’t say it to yourself. One of the most common exercises I use with clients is when I have them swap roles. I have them imagine the person closest to them is in their exact situation. I then ask them to tell me the words they would say to the person they imagined. I have yet to have a client who was as kind to themselves as they were when telling me exactly what they would say to their loved one. My follow up question is always, “if that advice/validation/support is good enough for your friend, why is it not what you tell yourself?”
Sometimes our inner voice can be detrimental. If you have an inner voice that is negative, critical, or mean, it might be time to do some work on making a change. You deserve better than to be your own worst enemy.

I meet so many people through my practice who struggle with this concept. The response “no” is not bad, wrong, mean, etc. It’s a word. It is simply response to a question or a request. It doesn’t require an explanation unless YOU are comfortable with providing that follow up. We allow ourselves to respond with “yes” so easily without any explanations, but we don’t allow the same when the answer is “no.” If saying no is something you struggle with, maybe there is a need to reflect on why that struggle is there and how that thought process developed for you.

I have been terrible at maintaining my professional page with all the craziness of the last few months, but I plan to do better in 2025! 🤣🤞🏻

Just a reminder to all of my clients.

I will still be available for the next few weeks for regular appointments. Once I know more about my recovery, I will be able to provide a specific date of return. I anticipate to return virtually around 2-3 weeks if things go smoothly, and then slowly add days back into the office as I am able. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me between now and August 23rd!

For many people, summer brings sunshine, cookouts, the beach, and relaxation. Along with the extra sunshine, comes an increase in vitamin D to help boost your mood! A lot of people take this as a sign to coast a bit and let self-care routines, therapy, etc. slack. However, this usually results in increased stress and difficulty getting back on track once summer ends. Use this time to maintain healthy habits or take the natural boost in your mood to start new habits and routines. This can set you up for success in maintaining self-care in the fall and winter months. ☀️🏝️

I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself to anyone who may come across this page! I am a mental health therapist licensed in Mississippi (in-person and telehealth) and Florida (telehealth only). I have 10 years of experience working in various inpatient and outpatient mental health settings.
I have a physical office location in Grenada, MS at Psychosocial Solutions where I see the majority of my clients. I am also a provider through BetterHelp, Talkspace, and Headway.
This page was set up as a way to network and connect with individuals who may be in need of therapeutic services and resources.
