Wellness Wednesday:

This week, we’re shining a light on Fresh Coast Yoga, an inclusive yoga studio dedicated to supporting every version of you.

At unitē, we believe mental health and wellness go hand in hand. Yoga is more than movement – it’s a powerful practice for calming the mind, easing stress, and reconnecting with yourself.🌿

Fresh Coast creates space for every body, every age, and every journey, reminding us that true wellness honors both mental and physical well being.🤍

We are so grateful to have in our community, take a step towards bettering yourself and check them out today.🤍

🍃 Therapist spotlight:

Meet Becky Gray:

I am an affirmative and inclusive therapist, working with adults and teens primarily. I treat clients with multiple disorders, specializing in PTSD with the hope, intention and knowledge that people can live happier and healthier lives.

I am inspired by witnessing people overcome deep struggles and finding freedom from past pain. I feel honored to support others on their journey of personal growth by facilitating the therapeutic process. I believe that while it may take work, healing is possible and with hope, anyone can live the life they desire and deserve.

I draw from a range of evidence-based treatment methods including CBT, TF-CBT, DBT and more, tailoring the approach to each client’s unique needs. Among these, I’ve found EMDR to be the most rapid, effective and life-changing modality for many of my clients.

I will meet you where you are and we will do the work together.

❤️‍🩹 Struggles within a relationship don’t just stay between two people, they often ripple inward, affecting self-esteem, mental health, and even physical well-being.

Sometimes the signs aren’t obvious, but paying attention matters: changes in mood, withdrawal from friends, loss of confidence, or constant stress can all be indicators someone is carrying more than they’re sharing.

Healing starts with awareness and support. At unitē, we offer a safe space and compassionate therapists to help navigate these challenges, so individuals can rebuild from the inside out.

Meet Stacia Ward, LLMSW.

Born and raised in the UP. I am excited to be a part of Unites mission of bringing mental health to our rural community. I offer a warm, empathetic, safe, non judgemental space for those struggling with their mental wellbeing. Incorporating evidence-based practice and psychoeducation, I offer support and guidance for life’s challenges, including emotion management, self-esteem, trauma, grief, anxiety and depression.

Meet Carol Salo:

Carol Salo, LMSW, brings warmth, understanding, and a deep respect for the unique paths people

more.
Her approach is compassionate and grounded, meeting people where they are and
walking alongside them through life’s challenges. Carol values creating a safe, non-
judgmental space where each person feels heard, supported, and understood.

balance in both work and home.

Happy ‘Thank You Thursday’ !! This week we want to give a huge shoutout of gratitude to Mark Campbell-Olszewski for the generous donation of a sand tray table and miniatures!

A special thank you also goes to Shirley Galbraith, who first owned the table and lovingly grew its collection of miniatures over the years. 💙

Because of this wonderful gift, we are now able to offer sand tray therapy at our Isle Royale Street office in Houghton. 🏡✨

What makes it extra special is that this isn’t just any table—it’s connecting generations of therapists and now finding a new home with us at unitē 🧳➡️👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ A true symbol of connection and continuity in care.

Thank you, Mark and Shirley, for helping us expand the ways we can support healing in our community! 💫

Could DBT Therapy Be Right for You? 🧠
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is designed to help you manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and build healthier coping strategies. It’s especially helpful for those navigating intense feelings, stress, or patterns that feel hard to break.

Think of it as a balance between acceptance and change—practical skills that empower you to live with more stability and resilience.
