Love note from Dr. B for people in the middle of their chapter of becoming. I have felt so in the prime of it. Like that messy middle, deeply humble, beautifully questioning space. It’s been a lot of life happening in my life at such an intense level. The ripeness of young ones. The confrontations of death, dying, and caretaking of elders. The challenges of the less glorious parts of my work.

I’ve been swirling with questions about my own life and what brings me the most joy and meaning when the hardness of life seems so unending and like it doesn’t slow down. How do I want to be living? What is it that I want to keep advocating and standing for during this one precious life I have? As I write this now I’m realizing I’m now in my 40s… f*ck. I kind of thought I was getting around the mid life crisis but it really has felt more like a mid life emergence. It’s always so funny to me to walk things in my own boots after having already walked into similar but different terrain in the life of others as a therapist.

When you’re in this deeply existential place it can feel frightening. Unclear. Almost panicky. On the outside it’s the most beautiful wrestling to me. To be confronted with such rich questions and to be willing to tousle with them. To look them in the face and get pulled into the waves for a bit until you emerge once again. I was hoping I could just emerge, towel off and go on about life renewed. Not quite. It’s such a process and man.. how we crave to feel the solid, warm earth under our feet. I’m sending Love to everyone that’s in the brave chapters of becoming, knowing that some stages across our lifespan are more tumultuous than others. I see you. You’re doing great. Keep going, keep going, keep going.

PS. I’ve been thinking a lot about Ram Dass’ quote: “we’re all just walking each other home.” I have felt that so much in my bones as friends, mentors, therapists, and healers have helped me during this rocky section of life. I’m grateful that we’re one space of many to help you along your way. Always here for you in any capacity we can to ease the burdensome parts of this gorgeous life of ours. Always sending t

Dr. B here back from the dead after a severe major depressive episode postpartum. Watch the real for some truth talk during my walk in the depths of a mental health crisis and my most genuine plea to please not walk through this alone. I don’t care how much of my personal time I need to donate to make sure you get what you need, whatever that is, wherever it is. We weren’t meant to do this life alone. It’s too much. Sending every bit of Love and encouragement in my heart.

Link in bio to contact. Text us. Call us. DM us. Whatever your route, we’ll meet you there.

Over time tending to other people’s needs can make it harder to remember what we’re feeling, what our limits are, and what we want. Usually an intentional effort to tune into ourselves and set aside time to prioritize what we need can feel like an impactful reconnection moment.

Woof, sometimes when life gets extra juicy with feelings or overwhelm, it’s because your past is colliding into your present. It’s such a practice to move from reactive self to observer self. That’s why we often start with trying to notice the body and regulate first with a little bit of space and acceptance for the feeling to exist and soften. We just can’t see and respond clearly when our body is in overdrive. Friendly reminder that you are never alone in your humanity and it’s such a challenging but rewarding practice to learn your story and how to greet and flow with your unique instrument. Here in it with you and in your corner to empower you always 🧡 We’ve got this 🤘🏽🫶🏽

“I live for those moments, when together, we see that something so challenging and hard to endure, has strength, purpose, or compassion hidden underneath. In order to be truly at peace, people need to feel safe enough to be themselves and access their full range of capacity. I want to help you get there.”

-Dr. Lisa Rasmussen, Psy.D.

It’s human nature to compare, and noticing how it feels inside can help you channel it in the best way for YOU. For example, comparing yourself to people you look up to in life can be an intentional way to feel inspired. However, when you notice comparison ramping up and leading to self-judgement, self-criticism, and sadness, this may be a moment to redirect attention to the unique path you’re taking. (and unique doesn’t mean wrong!)

Our community has been devastated by the floods at Camp Mystic. As news has trickled in from clients, friends, neighbors, and family members directly affected, it’s brought a rude awakening to how local this has truly been. The Love and empathy runs deep into our bones and we’re here to help however we can. Remember, in times of crisis, always look for the helpers.

Modern Therapy will be offering free therapy to those affected by Camp Mystic. Please share with those directly affected for therapy space to sit in the trench with you and hold space for you from a trauma informed lens.

Our friends at are also holding free therapy space for those affected. They have an additional specialty in health and chronic health related issues for anyone that might have compounded grief as they attempt to hold their own body through this.

For local community grief groups (children welcome) please visit our friends who will be holding group this coming Monday as well as in the coming weeks.

We hope to always be a resource and will be sharing anything we learn about in our community to get you connected to what you need. Remember, you are never alone. Ever. Community is here for you.

Navigating collaboration with people who have different personality types and working styles… let’s talk about it!

As you interact with different perspectives throughout your career, you start to notice which people lift your energy and which people require a bit more of your energy to work alongside

Learning to operate from a place of openness to honor new ways of thinking and working from the people around you is a skill that goes far beyond the workplace

What would it feel like to learn about, and get curious about values other than your own? How would things change if you look at things through the value lens of your co-worker? What might you discover?

That rush of energy you get from dreaming of what’s possible is REAL

So what do you do when the dream that lights your soul on fire meets resistance from circumstance related to time, money, or logistics?

Practical thinking is human nature and a gift. Sometimes it’s compounded by the pressure to be successful, a sense of perfectionism, or fear of judgment.

Maybe taking a step in the direction of your purpose isn’t so much about making a dream happen quickly, or knowing an exact plan for executing successfully.

This is where you can openly honor your intuition and offer yourself permission to imagine and create freely. Sometimes the process of dreaming offers just as much healing as the ex*****on.

Is meditation an eye roll or a warm hug for you? Trust us, we get it.

Meditating is a skill that can have incredible healing as a time to pause and be present with intentional thoughts. That doesn’t make it easy, though! Not to mention, it can feel really strange when you start.

“Am I supposed to be just sitting here?”
“Am I doing it right?”
“Why can’t I focus?”

Yup, all normal!

The idea is simply to notice the thought in your mind, and come back to yourself.

If meditation is something you’re looking to explore deeper, our team gathered their favorite recommendations for apps that support you at any level
