Today, we pause in collective sorrow as the mental health community mourns the loss of Rebecca White, LMHC, who was tragically killed while caring for clients in Orlando.
Rebecca was doing the work so many of us dedicate our lives to—showing up with compassion, holding space for pain, and offering hope in moments of deep struggle. She was 44 years old, a licensed professional, and a healer whose commitment reflected the very heart of this profession.
Though we did not know Rebecca personally, we recognize the courage her work required. Sitting with suffering, remaining present in crisis, and answering the call to help others is sacred work—work that too often carries unseen risks.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Rebecca’s family, her colleagues, and her clients who trusted her. We also hold close the client who bravely tried to intervene and was injured. The impact of this loss reaches far and wide.
To our fellow therapists: please take a moment today to slow down, to breathe, and to care for yourselves. What we do matters deeply, and this tragedy reminds us of both the power and the vulnerability of our work.
Rebecca White’s life mattered. Her work mattered. We honor her legacy and the compassion she brought into the world.
If you are a therapist struggling in the grief of this loss, please reach out for support. You are not alone.
Rest in peace, Rebecca. 🕊️

Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate Christmas 🎄 ! May your homes and your hearts be filled with peace, joy and love. ❤️ May you honor all of your feelings. Remember that it’s not about being jolly all the time, it’s about being authentic and genuine to your emotions as they show up , whether is joy or sadness, grief , disappointment or anger. We find harmony when we acknowledge, accept and nurture all of our parts and all of our emotions. This season can bring so many emotions, from nostalgia to sadness, to overwhelmed, anxiety and overstimulation, whatever shows up, honor it and nurture yourself. Thank you for trusting me in your healing journey. Being your therapist is an honor and one that I never take for granted.
Blessings, 🎄
Lourdes Cánovas Counseling.

May our privileged geographical luck not blind us from the suffering of others! May we continue to see all the beauty in the world while simultaneously acknowledging that not every child gets to see this colorful world and instead live in a black and white bubble. May we acknowledge that at the end of the day, we are part of the human race living in the same planet yet seeing it through very different lenses. Mother who reads me, if you are holding your child in your arms today, witnessing their smiles and tucking them into a warm bed with a full stomach, then you are rich , we are rich in life and may we never be blinded of such privilege. Privilege that should be a right for every child and every human being in this Earth ❤️🙏🏼

Counting my blessings! 🍁🙏🏼 Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate today! While in the modern days we see this holiday as a day to feast with family while reflecting on our blessings and expressing our gratitude, may we continue to live in gratitude while also acknowledging the real history and complexity behind a day like today. To the Native American community, I send my respect and acknowledgment for your grief and pain that might be triggered by this holiday. May we feast, pray and spread gratitude while understanding that this holiday was initially one that represents colonialism, oppression and the massacre of thousands of Native Americans. So technically today’s holiday represents immigrants coming in and violently taking over the land of American Indians. May we not change the narrative and the history just because is convenient or more comfortable for us. It was not really a gathering of diversity, love and unity between the peregrines and Indians! Teaching history to children is important so that the new generations can do better and be more humane than the past generations. We can’t evolve for a better future without understanding the past! Let’s continue giving thanks while also acknowledging those who do not get to live free or eat today in our nation and around the world. 🙏🏼🧡🍁.
