Backpacks, books… and balance.

As students head back to class, let’s not forget how important mental well-being is.

🌱 From Surviving to Thriving 🌱

This remarkable tree shows us the difference between surviving and thriving. It’s not just staying alive - it’s flourishing, reaching upward, creating beauty in its space.
In mental health, we often focus on just “getting through” difficult times. But healing is about more than survival - it’s about creating conditions where you can truly thrive:

• Safe spaces where you can be authentic
• Supportive environments that nurture your growth
• Professional guidance when you need it
• Time and patience with your process

You deserve more than just surviving your struggles. You deserve to thrive.

What would thriving look like for you? Tell us in the comments!

🧘‍♀️ Finding Peace in Sacred Spaces 🧘‍♀️

Sometimes we need to step into spaces that remind us to slow down and breathe. This tranquil sanctuary shows us the power of intentionally creating calm in our lives.

Mental wellness isn’t just about managing problems - it’s about cultivating moments of peace and beauty. Whether it’s:

• A quiet corner in your home
• A walk in nature
• A few minutes of deep breathing
• Time in reflection

These moments of sanctuary are essential for our mental health. Where do you find your peace?

Team members from Healing Paths & Wellness and the Southeastern Graduate Program in Counseling took a field trip this weekend to visit one of our former classmate’s practice, Patchwork Grove Counseling & Wellness.

They offer Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP). This therapeutic modality incorporates horses (and other equids) into the session, utilizing horses’ innate ability to connect with and respond to humans on an emotional level. This therapeutic method can be used in conjunction with talk therapy as well!

❤️💚🖤 Honoring Juneteenth
Today we commemorate Juneteenth, the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas learned of their freedom—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, history, and resilience. It’s a time to reflect, learn, and honor the strength of Black communities.

May we never stop striving toward justice and equality for all.

🔍 Therapy Technique Spotlight: EMDR 🧠💫

Ever feel like talking isn’t quite enough to heal what’s inside?

Some experiences live in the body as much as the mind. That’s where therapies like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) come in—helping you process trauma by engaging the nervous system and reconnecting with your body.

💬 Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. These techniques go deeper—where true healing begins.

✨ Curious if one of these is right for you? Let’s talk. Get in touch with us at 985-259-7869

🧠 June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month 💙

Men struggle too—and their mental health matters just as much. It’s strong to speak up, brave to ask for help, and powerful to prioritize your well-being.

Whether you’re managing stress, anxiety, grief, or just trying to keep it together—you are not alone. Real strength starts with real conversations.

📲 Reach out. Connect. Heal.

Hello, Summer! 🌿

As the days grow longer and the sunshine gets brighter, it’s the perfect time to check in with yourself. Summer invites us to slow down, reconnect with joy, and prioritize our mental wellness. 🌻💛

✨ You deserve to feel good—mind, body, and soul.

🧘‍♀️ Feeling overwhelmed? Try Box Breathing. 🧘‍♂️
Box breathing is a simple technique used by athletes, first responders, and therapists alike to reduce stress and bring calm to the mind and body. 🧠💚

Here’s how it works:
🔲 Inhale for 4 seconds
🔲 Hold your breath for 4 seconds
🔲 Exhale for 4 seconds
🔲 Hold again for 4 seconds
Repeat for 3–5 rounds, or until your nervous system says thank you.

It’s called “box” breathing because all four steps are equal—just like the sides of a box. 📦 This technique is great for grounding during anxiety, helping with focus, or resetting after a stressful moment.

💬 Give it a try and let us know how you feel after a few rounds!
