ReEnvision Marriage and Family Therapy

3 years ago today, Michelle invited Dr. Anna Flores-Locke of Charlandra Consulting and Counseling Services and her husband John, to talk about their infertility journey through the "ReEnvision Life Talks" show/podcast. The show/podcast was short due to unforeseen circumstances (should we bring it back??), however, we are forever grateful to those who gave their time to share from their lives - and that we'll always have the recordings.

We wanted to re-post this important conversation as we know many couples who are going through or have gone through, what Dr. Anna & John have experienced. Thank you Dr. Anna & John for your openness, vulnerability and willingness to share your journey!

Host Michelle S. Park, LMFT is joined by John & Dr. Anna Flores-Locke as they talk about their experience in struggling to start a family. Here is a bit more...

Great questions to ask from The Peaceful Parent !

I know how tempting it is to snap when your kid talks back, refuses to put on their shoes, or melts down over the “wrong” cup.

In the moment, it feels like they’re just being difficult. Disrespectful. Defiant.

But what if there’s more to the story?

What if that sass is actually sadness?
What if the refusal is really anxiety?
What if the meltdown is your child saying, “I don’t know how to handle this, please help me”?

The truth is: behavior is communication.

So instead of jumping to conclusions, pause and ask yourself...

🟡 What’s behind this?
🟡 What might they be trying to tell me without words?

Your curiosity doesn’t excuse the behavior.
It helps you understand it.

And that’s what gives you the power to respond, not just react.

Connection first. Correction second. That’s how we lead with love.

Save this for the next hard moment. You're doing the brave work. 💛

Over the weekend we had our in-person Quarterly Meeting (QM). Due to the fact that we are an online therapy space, we don't get to see each other in person as a staff very often. We see each other every week or every other week - but that's online. When we get together for these meetings, we not only discuss ReEnvision Marriage and Family Therapy matters - planning, dreaming, evaluating what's going well, what areas need work, etc. We also celebrate. We have a family feel and it's always a good time together. And while there are some serious matters to discuss, we also know how not to take ourselves TOO seriously (as the pictures will show...🤪).

We celebrated some amazing milestones for a couple of our therapists who are now fully licensed MFTs 🥳 and will continue to do incredible work at ReEnvision and beyond. We also welcomed a new Associate Therapist, Tiffany Elliott (separate welcome post coming soon!) as she joined her first QM with us.

ReEnvision Marriage and Family Therapy offers services to individuals, couples and families across a variety of issues. We enjoy working collaboratively with our clients - meaning we trust that our clients are the experts of their life story who happen to need some perspective, some new tools and/or a safe space to process their pain. We believe it to be of great importance to treat issues through an integrative, systemic and holistic lens, reflected in our Vision: "To transform lives, bring healing to relationships and empower living life from a "re-envisioned" place of holistic wellness - emotionally, mentally, spiritually and relationally."

If you're in need of services, we have openings for New York. Call us at: (646) 450-9972 to book your appointment or click the link in our bio to find out website to submit an inquiry form.

Wherever and whenever you're seeing this from, we hope you're having a good day!

(Please note: Michelle is the only therapist that can see clients in NJ & FL)

Sharing another helpful resource from Postpartum Support International.

10/02/2025

We've been working with expectant parents and one of the areas we make sure to address is postpartum care. Involved in that, is understanding Postpartum Depression/Anxiety from the baby blues . Do you know the difference between the "Baby Blues," Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety? Here is a helpful chart to bookmark!

💙 Baby Blues vs PPD vs PPA: Know the Difference 💙

Not every mood change after birth is the same:

🔹 Baby Blues: Mild mood swings, tears, irritability; usually resolves within 2 weeks.
🔹 Postpartum Depression (PPD): Persistent sadness, hopelessness, low energy, loss of interest; can last months without treatment.
🔹 Postpartum Anxiety (PPA): Intense worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks; can interfere with daily life.

Recognizing the signs early is key to recovery. Mental Illness Awareness Week is the perfect time to learn, reach out, and support each other.

*️⃣ Perinatal mental health disorders also include OCD, Bipolar Mood Disorders, PTSD, and Psychosis. *️⃣

Not sure who created this as we'd like to give credit. Sometimes we need reminders for when our minds take us to unhelpful places, especially when we are alone. Hope this helps...

💕 I am safe in this moment

💕 I survived this before

💕 This is going to pass

💕 I accept this feeling

💕 I control my body

💕 I am resilient and strong

💕 My thoughts can't hurt me

💕 I trust myself to pull through

💕 I will be okay

And when you can, lean into your support systems. Talk with a friend, a trusted mentor, a spiritual leader, therapist, God. You are not alone.

"Perfect" Post from The Peaceful Parent!

When your child is overwhelmed—when the storm is building, and the tears start to rise, and they lash out in ways that surprise even them—
they’re not looking for a perfect parent.

They’re looking for safety.

Not rules. Not fixes. Not consequences.
Safety.

A face that doesn’t reflect fear back at them.
A voice that doesn’t rise to match theirs.
A presence that says, “You can be messy, and I will stay.”

You don’t have to get it right all the time.
You just have to practice staying calm more often than you lose it.
You just have to create an environment where mistakes don’t cost connection.

Because the more safe they feel with you,
The more regulated their brain becomes.
The more you lead with calm,
The more they’ll learn to find their own.

It doesn’t happen overnight.
But it does happen.

And it starts with you—being the safest person in the room.
