🌟 August 26 – Women’s Equality Day 🙋‍♀️ Today we commemorate the 1920 adoption of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote – a monumental step toward gender equality. As a women-owned and predominantly women-led practice, we are proud to carry that legacy of empowerment forward. 💪

We believe in empowering women to thrive, and we are honored to contribute to the ongoing fight for equality. Whether it’s providing a safe space for healing or advocating for women’s rights, today, we stand tall in the progress that has been made – and commit to the work still ahead. 🌍

To all the women who’ve paved the way and continue to push boundaries – we see you, we celebrate you, and we are standing with you. 💛

As summer winds down, many families are preparing for the back-to-school transition. New classes, new routines, perhaps new schools – it’s a lot of change at once. As a therapist (and as a parent myself, if applicable), I know this time of year can bring mixed emotions. Kids might feel excited t...

August 15 is National Relaxation Day 😌 – and don’t we all need one? It’s a reminder to slow down and unwind. Chronic stress can sneak up on us, so taking time to relax is more than a luxury; it’s essential for mental health. Today (or this weekend), carve out a little relaxation for yourself: maybe a nap, a leisurely walk without your phone, or listening to your favorite music. 🎶

Therapist tip: Schedule relaxation like an appointment – literally block it on your calendar, even if just 20 minutes. This helps ensure you actually do it. What’s your go-to way to relax? Share your ideas! Let’s learn from each other.

💬 We often say “self-care isn’t selfish” – and going to therapy is a powerful form of self-care. Here’s a quote we love: “You don’t have to struggle in silence.” Reaching out for help is a brave act of self-love. This week, as we emphasize self-care and social support, remember that seeking therapy is not a weakness, it’s an investment in yourself.

At A Healing Place, we provide a safe, supportive space for you to share, heal, and grow. If you’ve been considering counseling, consider this your sign that you deserve support. 💜

Back-to-School Mental Health Check 🎒📚 As August rolls on, many parents and kids are gearing up for the new school year. It’s an exciting time – but can also be stressful for both children and parents (schedule changes, academic pressure, social anxiety, oh my!).

Here are 3 Tips to ease the transition:

Listen to Feelings: Whether it’s a child nervous about a new class or a parent feeling overwhelmed, make space to talk about it. Normalize those jitters – they’re common!

Routine, Routine: Start gradually shifting to the school-year sleep and meal schedule now, so it’s not a shock in September. Consistent routines provide a sense of security for kids and reduces chaos for adults.

Self-Care for Parents: Don’t forget about your own stress. Plan a little you-time once the kids are in school (even if it’s a quiet coffee or a walk). A calm parent helps create a calm household.

🤗 Remember, transition periods are tough, but also temporary. If your child (or you) are having a hard time beyond the first few weeks, consider reaching out to a counselor for extra support – we’re here to help families thrive!

Self-care isn’t just solo spa days – it can be a family activity too, especially as back-to-school season approaches. Today’s tip: Practice self-care as a family. Maybe have a device-free family hour where you all take a walk or play a fun game. Or do a family mindfulness exercise: sit in a circle and each share one feeling and one gratitude from the week. 💜

Kids learn by example – when they see parents prioritizing mental health, they learn it’s okay to do the same. Plus, spending quality time together reduces stress for everyone. This weekend, schedule a little family self-care time. It can be silly, like a dance party in the living room, or quiet, like reading together. What family self-care idea would you try?
