May is here 🌿
As we step into a new month, we’re reminded that May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This is a time to check in with yourself and others, break the stigma, and prioritize emotional well-being.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. It affects how we think, feel, and act—impacting our relationships, work, and daily life. Whether you’re managing stress, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to face it alone.
✨ Taking care of your mental health can look like:
• Setting boundaries
• Talking to someone you trust
• Practicing self-care
• Seeking professional support
If you or someone you know needs support, reach out. Help is available, and healing is possible.

Mayo ya está aquí 🌿
Al comenzar un nuevo mes, recordamos que mayo es el Mes de Concientización sobre la Salud Mental. Este es un momento para reflexionar sobre nuestro bienestar, apoyar a los demás, romper el estigma y priorizar nuestra salud emocional.

La salud mental es tan importante como la salud física. Afecta cómo pensamos, sentimos y actuamos—impactando nuestras relaciones, el trabajo y la vida diaria. Ya sea que estés manejando estrés, ansiedad, depresión o simplemente te sientas abrumado/a, no tienes que enfrentar esto solo/a.
✨ Cuidar de tu salud mental puede verse así:
• Establecer límites
• Hablar con alguien de confianza
• Practicar el autocuidado
• Buscar apoyo profesional

Si tú o alguien que conoces necesita apoyo, comunícate. Hay ayuda disponible y la sanación es posible.

Earth Day 🌎💚
Take a moment today to step outside, feel the sun on your skin, and breathe a little deeper. Nature has a quiet way of reminding us to slow down, reset, and reconnect—not just with the world around us, but with ourselves too.
Caring for the Earth and caring for your mind go hand in hand. A walk in fresh air, listening to the wind, or simply sitting under a tree can do more for your mental health than you might expect.
Let today be a gentle reminder: protect your peace the same way you protect the planet. Small actions matter—for the Earth, and for you. 🌱✨

MLR Therapy and Consulting Services was proud to participate in the 2nd Annual 5K Run/Walk and Resource Fair with Silver Ribbon. 💜🏃‍♀️

It was an honor to support such a meaningful organization that is dedicated to helping and uplifting our elderly community. Events like this remind us how powerful it is when organizations come together to promote wellness, connection, and support for those who paved the way before us.

Thank you to Silver Ribbon and everyone who made this event possible—we are grateful to be part of a community that cares!

Thanks for your patience & choosing Las Flores Counseling! I see you & I hear you. 🫶

🌸

Running a one-woman show means I’m answering emails, calls, billing, & seeing clients, all at once!

With that in mind, email is the best way to reach me, & I promise I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
