With the holiday season approaching it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Remember to set boundaries and take care of yourself! ‍✨

Mental health matters just as much as physical health. It's okay to ask for help.

Not every perceived challenge we meet in life
is an obstacle we must overcome.

You see, when we hit a stumbling block
or a bump in the road or a brick wall,
we are usually already
tired, exhausted and overwhelmed.

So maybe the stumbling block is not actually there to trip us up. Maybe it’s there to cushion our fall. To give us somewhere to sit when we need to catch our breath for a while.

And perhaps the bumps in the road are there to remind us to slow down. When we have been charging ahead too quickly and driving ourselves into the ground.

And maybe that brick wall isn’t meant to be scaled.
Maybe it’s simply there for us to lean against. To help us rest and regain our strength. And maybe when we’re rested, we’ll realise we can go round the wall or take it apart brick by brick.

Yes, not every obstacle we meet in life is there to test us and teach us a lesson.

Sometimes,
even when it doesn’t feel like it,
some things in life
are simply there to help.

Hi Everybody! 👋🏻

It’s been a moment since I last introduced myself, so I thought I would jump on and say hello! My name is Melissa and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin! My background comes from a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University. Go Wildcats! 💜

I work with individuals ages 12+ on a wide range of mental health and personal life challenges. The therapeutic focus lens I use is person-centered, narrative, psychodynamic, and depth psychology based. ✨

Empowerment, Collaboration, Holism, and Compassion have ALWAYS been the forefront/foundation of my practice. We are HUMAN first. 💪🏻🤍

I look forward to meeting you all!

We all of us have chapters
That we wish we’d never written
Pages that we’ve torn or burned
Or locked away and hidden

We all have masks and costumes
That we wish we’d never worn
And lines that we have spoken
That we wish could be withdrawn

We all of us have characters
We’d strike clean from the page
And maybe big decisions
That we’re desperate to change

And we are very tempted
To pretend they don’t exist
To tell a perfect story
Where these things are all dismissed

But do not hide those chapters
They’re your story’s little scars
And they’re crucial to your tale
Though you might not think they are

‘Cause without them all, your story
Isn’t quite the one you wrote
And we have to make mistakes
If we’re to learn what matters most

Yes, without them all your story
Will be hard to comprehend
Remember - some things only make sense
When we’re getting to the end

Feeling like your holiday light is a little dimmer this year? 🎄 It's okay, we've been there. 🙋‍♀️

We owe it to ourselves, however, to stay curious and never stop asking that big question of "why"?

What does it take for my body to feel a sense of inner-peace?

What core memory might be attributing to these feelings?

Are our expectations of self too outlandish?

Are we respecting our boundaries and making time for ourselves?

If you're welcoming a journey of self-exploration this holiday season, reach out today!
