Are You Always “On”? 🔄
The expectation to always be available can be overwhelming. While technology keeps us connected, it also fuels a culture of instant gratification, constant work, and productivity burnout—often at the expense of our well-being.
Imagine if you...
🔹 Spent an entire day in nature with your phone turned off, free of distractions. 🌿
🔹 Powered down your phone after work—no emails, no notifications, just peace.
🔹 Took a full weekend away from social media and emails.
🔹 Paused for a day or two before responding to a text, allowing yourself time to reflect.
🔹 Enjoyed your morning coffee outside, soaking in the fresh air instead of checking your inbox.
Small changes create big differences. 💕 What’s one way you can reclaim your time today?

🚩 Toxic relationship patterns aren’t always obvious at first. They can start subtly—with small digs, guilt-trips, or a partner making you feel responsible for their emotions. Over time, these behaviors can become a cycle that chips away at your self-worth and leaves you feeling emotionally drained.
Some common signs of toxic patterns include:
🔸 Constant criticism or blame
🔸 Emotional manipulation or gaslighting
🔸 Jealousy masked as “love”
🔸 Control over your time, choices, or relationships
🔸 Walking on eggshells to keep the peace
At New Point of View Counseling, we help individuals recognize and break free from these unhealthy dynamics. Whether you're currently in a toxic relationship or healing from one, our therapists provide a safe, judgment-free space to explore your experiences and begin building healthier connections—with others and with yourself.
🧠 Healing starts with awareness—and you're already taking that step by learning what to look for.

Birthday Morning St. Martin🏝

My happy place involves white sand and blue water.. . What’s yours?

“Why do I always end up here?”
“Why can’t I seem to move forward?”
If these questions sound familiar, you might be caught in patterns that quietly work against your progress. This is often a form of self-sabotage—when your thoughts, habits, or fears interfere with your growth.
🔁 Common Signs of Self-Sabotage:
• That critical inner voice that never lets up
• Constant procrastination, even on things you care about
• Setting impossibly high standards (hello, perfectionism)
• Deflecting responsibility or avoiding hard truths
These patterns are usually rooted in deeper experiences—and breaking free from them takes more than willpower alone. If you’ve tried to change and keep hitting the same wall, therapy can help you get to the root and create real, lasting change.
🧠 Growth takes courage—and support. You deserve both.
We’re here when you’re ready.

Your past cannot be changed... but your future is in your hands. ❤️🩹
Your trauma and attachment wounds were never your fault. But they can shape how you show up in relationships today.
💔 It makes sense if you struggle to feel safe in love.
💔 It makes sense if you feel triggered, overwhelmed, or doubtful in relationships.
💔 It makes sense if you fear intimacy, avoid commitment, or push others away.
And while all of this makes sense, it’s also true that these patterns may not be bringing you the connection, security, and healthy relationships you deeply desire—and deserve.
I know how painful it can be to navigate love without ever being shown what a healthy relationship looks like. 💔
I know how frustrating it feels to wonder why you can’t seem to find the “right” person — no matter how hard you try.
Here’s your gentle reminder:
✨ You are not powerless.
✨ Healing is possible.
✨ Change is possible.
✨ Healthy relationships are possible.
And it all begins with one choice: choosing yourself. ♥️
💬 Whenever you're ready, we're here to support you.
You can schedule with Leah West, MA, LAC—a compassionate therapist specializing in trauma, relationships, and emotional wellness.
💔 Relationships thrive on love, respect, and understanding—but what happens when your core values no longer align? Many couples are struggling as political and social divides grow deeper, leaving one partner feeling unseen or unsupported.
If you’re grappling with difficult feelings—wondering if your partner values economic concerns over fundamental rights, or questioning whether they truly stand with you—you’re not alone. These feelings are valid, and they deserve space to be explored.
If you’re struggling with resentment, regret, or uncertainty in your relationship, therapy can help navigate these emotions and open up honest, meaningful conversations.
💙 You don’t have to figure this out alone. Let’s talk.
🧠 Your mental health shapes every part of your life—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, or never feeling "good enough," we’re here to help.
At New Point of View Counseling, we specialize in working with individuals and couples who are ready to break free from patterns of narcissistic abuse, chronic self-doubt, codependency, and difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

▪ Trauma & PTSD
▪ LGBTQIA+ identity and support
▪ Relationship conflicts & attachment wounds
