Self Disclosure 💬

Therapists are taught not to share much about themselves, and honestly, there are really good reasons for that. It protects your space, keeps the focus on you, and helps therapy feel steady and safe.

But here’s something we don’t talk about enough: Therapists are human too.

And sometimes, in the right moment, a small, thoughtful bit of realness can help you feel less alone. Not a monologue. Not shifting the focus. Just enough to remind you that you’re sitting with someone who gets it, not just someone who studied it.

Because therapy isn’t about being observed or analyzed from a distance.

It’s about being with someone.

Someone who can hold your worries without judgment. Someone who isn’t afraid of your feelings. Someone who knows that vulnerability is hard because they’ve experienced it too.

That’s the kind of space we care about creating here.

A place where you don’t have to have it all together.

A place where you can say the thing you’ve been holding in.

A place where you feel safe enough to be fully, honestly human.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, this is your reminder. We know it’s a brave choice to make because we’re human too 🤍

We have lots of new faces here, so it’s time to continue reintroducing our team!✌🏻

Meet Katelyn!

Favorite Emojis: 🤣😭

Hobbies: Playing video games, coloring, plants, and Bedazzling 🪩

When I’m not working, I am usually: Watching my favorite tv shows, spending time with close friends and family, or sleeping 😴

If I brought something to potluck it would be: Probably some store bought spinach artichoke dip 🙈

I love being a therapist because: In a world that often asks us to hold it all together, I get to offer something different—a place to slow down, feel seen, and explore what’s actually going on beneath the surface. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you—it’s about having a space where you can come as you are.

Dissociation isn’t random, your nervous system is trying to protect you.

Ever feel like you suddenly check out, go numb, or feel far away from what’s happening around you?

Our nervous systems have something called a window of tolerance. This is the zone where we can think clearly, feel our emotions, and stay present. When stress or overwhelm pushes us outside that window, our brains try to protect us. Sometimes that shows up as anxiety or panic. Sometimes it shows up as dissociation.

Learning about your window of tolerance can be really powerful. It helps you notice when you are reaching your limit and gives you permission to pause and regulate before your system shuts down.

Taking breaks, grounding through your senses, moving your body, slowing your breathing, or connecting with someone safe can help bring you back into your window.

These skills can help shift you out of dissociation and toward healthy detachment. This means having space from overwhelming feelings while still staying connected to yourself.
If this resonates with you, learning self regulation skills in therapy can make a big difference. You do not have to figure it out alone. 🤍

Hobbies: Reading & plants

When I’m not working, I’m most likely: hanging out with my neices or napping with my dog, Zoey.

If I brought something to a potluck, it would be: cheesecake!!

I love being a therapist because: I get the privilege of meeting people from all walks of life exactly where they are. It’s meaningful to simply show up for others & offer a space where they can be heard, supported, and understood as they navigate their experiences and growth.

Cedar & Ivy is officially THREE. 🎉🌿

Three years ago, this was just a tiny idea and a lot of hope. Now it’s a team of some of the most thoughtful, dedicated, and genuinely wonderful humans I could have ever hoped to do this work alongside.

So here’s a little birthday shoutout to the people who make Cedar & Ivy what it is:

Bethany — who started the practice and loves finding the balance between providing client care and the background work of owning a business.

Anaka — who helps people build stronger, healthier relationships and brings so much warmth and insight into the room.

Jaiden — who connects so naturally with teens and clients navigating anxiety, and creates a space where people feel understood right away.

Angela — who does incredible work with OCD, couples, and kids, and brings both depth and compassion to everything she does.

Katelyn — who creates such a safe, welcoming space for kids and teens, helping them feel comfortable being themselves while building confidence, emotional skills, and resilience.

Abbie — our bachelor-level intern, who is always willing to jump in and help wherever she’s needed, and brings such a positive, caring presence to our team and clients.

And to our clients and community, thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and growing with us. This little practice means so much to all of us.

Three years in, and we’re just getting started. 🖤
