“This reel comes from a moment in the episode that stopped us.
Women still have to watch out for men. That hasn’t changed.

What has changed is that somewhere along the way, society added another layer — turning women against each other. Comparison. Competition. Tearing each other down instead of standing together.

Kristin named something a lot of women feel but don’t always say out loud. We’re not confused about where the danger is. We’re just done playing along with a system that benefits when women don’t trust each other.”

This reel is a shout-out to Blume and Bekah for the way they approach aesthetics with a healthy, grounded lens. Not about fixing women or pushing impossible standards — but about supporting women, especially during hard seasons.

While the work looks different from therapy, there’s a shared value in how they show up: centering choice, care, and respect for where someone is at. Creating spaces where women feel supported instead of scrutinized.

Different roles. Shared intention. And that matters.

The beauty industry really said:
love yourself while also saying, here’s 47 ways you’re doing it wrong…

Kristin and I are talking about the impossible, contradictory, soul-sucking standards women are handed and expected to just… carry. Be hot but effortless. Confident but not “too much.” Age but don’t look like it.

It’s a fu***ng mind game.

This episode isn’t about hating beauty or pretending we’re above it. It’s about naming the pressure, calling bu****it where it belongs, and figuring out how to exist in our bodies without constantly feeling like we’re failing some invisible rubric.

If you’ve ever stared in the mirror and thought “what the hell do they even want from us?” — this one’s for you.

Getting in to see a psychiatric provider has become increasingly difficult. Long waitlists, limited availability, and rushed appointments leave many people stuck waiting for care they need now.

As You Are Counseling Services is expanding care and will begin offering psychiatric medication management starting mid-January.

Local behavioral health leaders have identified a shortage of psychiatrists and limited access to outpatient medication management, making timely psychiatric appointments difficult to secure. This expansion is intended to help meet that growing need by increasing access to psychiatric care.

Our appointments are structured for extended, comprehensive care, allowing time for in-depth assessment, symptom monitoring, side-effect review, and thoughtful treatment planning — not just a quick check-in.

We will be in network with Aetna, Highmark, Capital Blue Cross, Quest, and Optum/UHC.

If you’ve been told you’re on a waitlist or that openings aren’t available for months, this is your opportunity.

Scheduling begins mid-January.

Now accepting new psychiatric clients.

Referrals welcome.

Some goals feel inspiring.

Some turn into another way we push, shame, or police ourselves without even realizing it.

In this episode, Kristin and I talk about how growth can start to feel heavy instead of supportive… and how women are constantly navigating expectations that are confusing, contradictory, and impossible to win.

We come at it from two very different experiences, but we’re naming the same thing:
you’re not failing— the system is exhausting.

You don’t need a new year to prove your worth.
And growth doesn’t have to hurt to count.

🎧 Full conversation on the podcast.

New year. Same pressure. New packaging.

Resolutions can be motivating as hell. They can also quietly turn into another way we bully ourselves into “fixing” things that were never broken in the first place. 🫠

In the latest episode of the podcast, we talk about that tension. The part where New Year energy feels hopeful… and the part where it starts sounding a lot like “do better, be smaller, try harder, don’t mess this up.”

We also kicked off a bigger conversation around women and beauty standards. Kristin and I come at this from two very different lived experiences, but we land in the same place: the standard is impossible, the rules constantly change, and somehow women are always told they’re doing it wrong. Too much. Not enough. Try harder. Care less. 🙃

This episode isn’t about telling you what your goals should be. It’s about noticing when growth slips into self-punishment and when “motivation” starts feeling abusive instead of supportive.

You don’t need a new year to be worthy.
And you don’t need to hate yourself into becoming someone else.

✨ Women’s Wellness & Beauty Night ✨

We’re so excited to be teaming up with Blume House of Aesthetics & Wellness for an evening that goes deeper than surface-level “self-care.”

This night is about real conversations around confidence, beauty culture, mental health, hormones, nutrition, and what it actually means to feel good in your body — not just look good.

We’ll talk openly about the messages women are constantly given (damned if you age, damned if you don’t), explore options like PRP and HRT, and hold space for thoughtful, honest discussion — no pressure, no perfection required.

🗓 January 16th
⏰ 5 PM
📍 1608 Lititz Pike, Lancaster, PA

Expect education, mini mental health screens, meaningful conversation, and discounted Botox — because both things can coexist.

Come as you are. Bring a friend. Leave feeling more informed, grounded, and empowered. 💛

Posting in solidarity with two therapists that were drug for their choice to participate in this trend. You know what I’m going to normaize right now? Therapists being human. I saw that two bomb, passionate therapists posted an AI generated image to have fun for the holidays, and they were TORN apart. Why? Because people felt as therapists they should “know better”. Why? Because of our job titles? These ladies put it was an AI generated image and that they were having fun with this trend. We need to STOP doing this to our profession! We are already held to almost impossible social standards (no I’m not talking ethics-that should ALWAYS be at the core) of behavior and how we should “be better”. Better than what?

Better than being human? Better than having fun? Better than participating in the same cultural moments literally everyone else is allowed to enjoy?

Somehow, the second you put “therapist” in your bio, you’re expected to become a perfectly regulated, always-on, never-playful, morally superior being who exists only to model enlightenment. No joy that could be misinterpreted. No humor that could be critiqued. No room to be messy, creative, or lighthearted.

And honestly? That expectation is exhausting and unfair.

Yes, ethics matter. Yes, boundaries matter. Yes, competence matters. Those things are non-negotiable. But being ethical does not mean being sterile. Being competent does not mean being boring. Being a therapist does not mean forfeiting your humanity at the door.

We are allowed to laugh. We are allowed to follow trends. We are allowed to be curious, playful, creative, and yes, even a little cringe sometimes. None of that takes away from the depth, skill, or integrity we bring into the therapy room.

If anything, this constant policing of therapists by other therapists and by the public is part of why burnout is rampant. We are professionals, not pedestals. We are clinicians, not concepts.

So let therapists be human. Let them have fun. Let them exist outside of their job title.

Because last I checked, being human is kind of the whole point.

I was so excited about this that I literally filmed the intro in my car. No makeup moment. No script. Just a “I can’t wait to talk about this” moment.

Because women are handed the most confusing, impossible messages:
If you have wrinkles, you’re told you should do something about it. If you do something about it, you’re shallow, vain, or “trying too hard.”

We’re told to love ourselves exactly as we are — but only if that version still fits what society is comfortable with. And that tension messes with our confidence, our bodies, and our mental health.

This Women’s Wellness & Beauty Event exists to name that out loud. To bring mental health, wellness, and aesthetics into the same conversation instead of pretending they don’t overlap.

We’ll talk honestly about confidence, beauty culture, hormones, PRP, HRT, nutrition, and what it actually means to care for yourself without defending it.

January 16th at 5pm in Lancaster.

A collaboration between As You Are Counseling Services and Blume House of Aesthetics & Wellness.

If this hits for you, you’re exactly who this night is for. 🤍

An evening for women who are tired of pretending confidence is just a mindset shift ✨

We’re hosting a Women’s Wellness & Beauty Event that brings mental health, wellness, and aesthetics into the same room for real, honest conversation. Not the polished Instagram version. The real one.

We’ll talk about confidence, how beauty culture shapes the way we see ourselves (for better and worse), and what it actually means to care for ourselves from the inside out. That includes mental health, nutrition, hormones, PRP, HRT, and the emotional weight women carry around all of it.

There will be education, discounted treatments, meaningful discussion, and space to just be human with other women who get it.

1608 Lititz Pike, Lancaster
