Feeling grateful! 🫶
1M+ January views from my small therapist account. I love sharing about what works in my therapy practice, talking to other therapists and learning about what they do, and having this space as a creative outlet.

Your nervous system isn’t “broken.”
Your glass is just full.

I’ve been using this simple analogy to explain window of tolerance, nervous system regulation, emotional capacity, and reactivity in a way that actually clicks.

Sometimes we don’t need new information.
We just need an image that makes sense.

I have this new rule when I buy clothes: if it’s not a heck yes, it’s a no.

These days, potential clients are browsing the internet looking for a therapist who gives them that same feeling, and they know it when they see it.

They feel excited.
They feel understood.
They see themselves in the way you show up.

If they can’t find you, or if you’re not showing your ideal clients who you really are and what sessions with you look like, you may not be getting as many inquiries as you’d like.

Every therapist has something unique that their people will be drawn to. Show it…and you might just start hearing a lot more yeses.

Most people were never taught how to go through grief, only how to stay positive and make loss easier to deal with. So they do the best they know how.

Whether it’s the death of someone you love, a breakup or divorce, or the loss of a job or identity, grief has a way of asking for more than just reassurance.

Therapy asks the questions your heart actually needs:
What hurts?
What needs to be felt?
How do you carry this without losing yourself?

Both can feel supportive.
Only one helps you move through instead of pushing it down. 🤍

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s texts went public, and the internet can’t stop picking them apart.

My thoughts as a therapist? Tone under stress reveals how someone is managing emotions, not who they are. Even close friends can feel distant under pressure. And while misunderstandings happen, care doesn’t just disappear. This awareness makes steps towards repair possible.

Most private practice therapists don’t struggle with having policies, they struggle with enforcing them.

If holding a cancellation fee, session boundary, or scheduling policy feels uncomfortable, it’s usually not about the rule itself, it’s about whether you see yourself as a legitimate practice owner and clinician.

Taking your policies seriously isn’t being rigid, it’s being clear. And clear practices create safe containers, for both clients and clinicians.

🔖 Save this for the next time enforcing a policy feels “mean.”

There are things I think almost every session, and reasons I don’t say them right away. Not because I’m withholding, but because in therapy, timing matters.

Some insights land as pressure when they come too early. Some truths sound like criticism when they’re said about you instead of by you. And some realizations only change things when your nervous system can actually hold them.

Therapy isn’t about saying the most accurate thing as fast as possible. It’s about pacing, containment, and letting meaning emerge instead of being imposed.

Most of what I don’t say out loud…
I’m listening for you to say first, or watching for the moment you’re ready to hear it.

This morning’s supervision didn’t happen in my office. It was over coffee at a cute local spot, with cozy sweaters, winter weather, and honest conversation.

We talked about self-compassion, about not rushing clients or ourselves, about how the therapeutic relationship IS the intervention, and about how rupture, repair, trust, and respect are what actually help people change.

I truly believe that supervision can hold the same benefits as good therapy. It’s a place to slow down, tell the truth, reflect on the process, and remember what humans are really yearning for…connection!

Would you agree? What made supervision most helpful for you (or what do you wish it had been)?

The busy schedule.
The emails.
The responsibility of running a private practice.

Some days the dream feels incredible, others it feels like pressure. Both are totally normal, and I always remind myself that the work is proof that the dream came true.

There was a version of you who hoped to be a therapist with clients, meaning, and the freedom to build something of your own. She’d be amazed! 🥹

Therapists don’t need trendy offices. We need spaces that feel steady, warm, and human. Paint matters more than we think, especially when it honors the roots of the building and the work being done inside. 🤍

When I started out as a young 24 year old therapist, I was determined, energetic, hard working, and wanted it all…like, yesterday! I quickly learned that I was going to have to slow my roll, because some things in life can’t be rushed. If you’re hustling to figure it all out and comparing yourself to every therapist you come across, give yourself permission to slow down. Growth that *lasts* isn’t fast, it’s steady. 🌿

Be you, in bloom

Hi, I’m glad you’re here! I'm Louisa, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Bloom Counseling. I work with busy, high-achieving individuals who are facing challenges that are keeping them from reaching their maximum potential. If you're struggling in your home life, career, at school, or in sports, I can help.

Oftentimes, the desire for perfection results in high levels of stress, low self-esteem, and burnout. These things lead to many other issues that can take a toll on your mood, relationships, and performance. In a safe and supportive environment, I will guide you as you overcome the obstacles that are holding you back from being the best version of yourself.
