You know, I get this question every day…😓
“How can I be regulated when the world is on fire?” 🔥
My response, “You are right. The world is on fire, but we can find our tribe and do the good work.” 🫂

I can’t promise that those in power won’t abuse it. 🤝‼️
But, what I can PROMISE is that THIS therapist will NEVER practice conversion therapy. 🚫
I pledge to use my “free speech” to stand beside my clients, not to harm them! 📣🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We all need a little help sometimes. And, if you have any mutual aid supplies or have it on your heart to pick up something for our friends at AppalAction Mutual Aid, there’s a supply drop off directly inside the front entrance near the lobby for Align Massage Therapy. Stop by and make your donation before your therapy appointment.
Pro tip: donating to others is “contributing” to the community and whether it’s $1.25 items or some hours of your time…it can boost your mood!

Do you have difficulty relaxing?
Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with Anxiety, OCD, or have a trauma history…
Or you are just “stuck in auto-pilot”
Productivity is not what gives you value!
Rest does not = weakness…
At Hearth & Healing Mental Health Therapy LLC, we value teaching you how to achieve a natural state of “relaxation” to support your everyday life.
A good place to start is by attending our upcoming workshop on April 18th when my good friend/colleague Taylor Prise and I will teach you expressive arts and somatic tools from our owned lived and professional experiences to support your practice of relaxation!

Every day in my work, I have the privilege of witnessing women doing the brave work of healing through finding their voice, setting boundaries, and breaking cycles that may have existed for generations. When women heal, families and communities heal too.

To every woman learning to rest, to grow, to speak up, and to come home to herself, you are doing meaningful work. Today we celebrate you. 🤍

Are you interested in tools for self-improvement and nervous system regulation...and therapy is not for you? Join us for something more creative.

Rest Is Resistance
Rest Is Resistance is a gentle, integrative offering guided by your facilitators Taylor Prise and Kristen Livingston, blending expressive writing, poetry, breathwork, and somatic practices to support nervous system regulation and creative restoration.

In a world that pressures us to keep going, this space invites you to slow down intentionally and without apology. Through guided poetry and expressive writing, participants are encouraged to give language to what the body already knows. Through breath, movement, and somatic awareness, we practice listening inward, softening tension, and restoring a sense of safety and presence.

This is not about performance, productivity, or “doing it right.” It is about attunement, curiosity, and permission. Together, we explore rest as a relational practice, one that reconnects us to our bodies, our stories, and our capacity to be with ourselves in gentler ways.

Rest here is not passive.
It is creative.
It is embodied.
It is a form of resistance against burnout, urgency, and disconnection.

No prior experience with writing, yoga, meditation or art is required—just a willingness to arrive as you are.

For those who’d like to hear the story behind the work, how my personal narrative shaped my professional path. In this podcast, I share how years in agency and government systems evolved into entrepreneurship, ownership, and reclaiming a sense of personal agency.
This is the story of becoming a small, woman-owned business rooted in values, lived experience, and the belief that we can build something that actually fits who we are.
If you’ve ever felt called to move from surviving systems to creating your own, this one’s for you

🎧 Episode 2 of Reclaiming Agency is now live.

In this conversation, we sit down with Kristen Livingston of Hearth & Healing Mental Health Therapy LLC to explore the dynamics that have shaped her life and work as a therapist turned entrepreneur in downtown Portsmouth, Ohio.

As Kristen reflects on her decision to step beyond a familiar professional identity and author a different future for herself, the conversation moves beyond career change and into a deeper question: What story are we telling ourselves about who we are, and is that story serving us well?

If that question sparks your curiosity, we invite you to:

✔️ Watch or listen to the full episode
✔️ Share it with someone who may find it meaningful
✔️ Join the conversation: what story are you telling yourself right now?
