As we get closer to Thanksgiving, I’ve been taking a minute to look back on this year, and honestly, I’m really proud of how far things have come!

This has been the biggest year yet for Mind & Melody Therapy Services since opening less than two years ago. I’ve grown my caseload with clients I truly love working with, opened an in-person office here in the Berkshires, expanded new opportunities both locally and online, and built a much stronger online presence than I ever expected (hello Instagram fam 👋).

It’s been a year of growth, learning, and a lot of gratitude.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, trusted me, referred someone, or simply followed along. It means more than you know!

Here’s to closing out the year strong and to everything ahead in 2026. 🙏✨

Change doesn’t always feel good at first. Sometimes the familiar feels safer, even when it caused pain.
I wrote a new post on why early discomfort can actually mean something new is taking shape.

We can grieve what we lived, and what we didn’t. Both are real.

Some statistics you should know about men’s mental health 👇
🧠 1 in 10 men experience depression or anxiety — but less than half ever reach out for help.
💔 Men die by su***de 4x more often than women.
😶 Too many are taught to “tough it out” instead of talking it out.

This month, Mind & Melody Therapy Services is raising awareness and funds to support men’s mental health. Every bit helps us make sure no one has to struggle alone.

And yes — I (Chris) will be growing a gnarly mustache in support of the cause. 😎 Stay tuned for before & after pics!

You can donate or share to show your support.
Together, we can change the face of men’s mental health. 💪

Christopher's Motivation: This Movember, I’m joining the movement to bring more awareness to men’s mental health. As a therapist, I’ve seen how hard it can be for men to open up about what they’re carrying and how much strength it takes to do so. I’m participating to help challenge the sil...

How human of me...
..to overthink the text I just sent. ..to give great advice I don't always take. ..to say "I'm fine" when I'm anything but...to keep trying, even when I'm tired.

If any of these sound familiar, you’re in good company. We’re all learning, unlearning, and doing our best to grow with a little more grace.

Healing starts when you begin to tell your own truth.

If it feels like old stories still shape how you see yourself, therapy can help you find your way back to what’s real.

🎧 Exciting news! I recently had the opportunity to be featured on the Art Therapy in Process podcast.

We talked about what it’s like being a therapist, the importance of authenticity, and how I’ve learned to show up genuinely on social media. It was such a meaningful, and honestly really fun, conversation with Ann and Matt.

You can listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

We talk a lot about creating safety in therapy — emotional, physical, cultural.

But spiritual safety matters too.

For many clients, faith is an important part of who they are. When that part feels misunderstood or off-limits, therapy can start to feel less safe, even when the therapist’s intentions are good.

Spiritual safety starts with openness, curiosity, and respect for what a person believes and how it shapes their story.

More about this in our latest blog post:
