A safe space isn’t just a promise. It’s our practice.

In this blog post, we reflect on how to create safety and affirmation for LGBTQ+ clients through presence, language, and intentional care.

It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what inclusive therapy can really feel like.

Trauma can come from many kinds of experiences.

It’s not just war or disaster. It can come from childhood, relationships, illness, accidents, or even ongoing stress.

Some signs might include:
-Being constantly on edge
-Avoiding reminders of something painful
-Feeling guilt, shame, or detachment
-Trouble sleeping or frequent nightmares
-Intense reactions to certain triggers

You don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support. You just need to know something doesn’t feel right and that healing is possible.

Therapy is one of the most vulnerable things a person can choose to do. It takes courage to open up and even more to trust someone enough to stay open.

We don’t take trust lightly. It’s something we work to earn, session by session.

This review says it best: Therapist Kristina brings not just clinical skill, but the kind of presence that makes you feel seen, safe, and supported no matter where you are in your journey. 💛

🖤 Honoring Juneteenth: A Day of Freedom and Healing 🖤

Today we commemorate Juneteenth—a powerful reminder of resilience, liberation, and the ongoing journey toward racial justice.

As mental health professionals, we recognize that the impact of generational trauma is real. Healing is not only personal—it’s collective. Today, we honor the strength of the Black community and hold space for reflection, education, and support.

🧠 Your mental health matters.
💬 Your story matters.
❤️ Your freedom to heal matters.

Let’s continue working toward a world where equity and mental wellness are accessible to all.

Being LGBTQ+ can be both a source of strength and a source of struggle—especially in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes. 🌈💬

➡️ 40% of LGBTQ+ youth have seriously considered su***de.
➡️ LGBTQ+ adults are twice as likely to experience depression and anxiety.
(The Trevor Project, 2023)

Visibility matters. Therapy helps.
When people feel seen, safe, and affirmed, healing becomes possible. 💚

This Pride Month, let’s show up—for mental health, for equity, and for each other.

June is full of sunshine—and serotonin! 🌞

Did you know?
Natural sunlight helps boost serotonin, the brain chemical that supports mood, focus, and emotional well-being.

When serotonin levels are higher, we tend to feel:
✨ Happier
✨ Calmer
✨ More emotionally balanced

💡 Mental Health Tip:
Take advantage of June’s longer, brighter days by getting outside for at least 15 minutes a day. Your mind and body will thank you!

🌼 Join our Sunshine Challenge!
Each day, find a moment to enjoy the sunshine—whether it's a morning walk, lunch outside, reading in a park, or simply pausing to feel the warmth on your face.

Snap a photo, write a reflection, or just take a mindful moment. However you participate, you’re prioritizing your wellness—and that’s worth celebrating.
