Are you walking around with a mask on, 24/7?

Halloween is about costumes and masks, but in everyday life, wearing a mask can feel heavy. Many of us hide stress, sadness, or worry behind a polite “I’m fine.”

Healing begins when you can take off the mask and feel safe in your true self. Therapy is where you don’t have to pretend; you can simply be. 💙

Be honest: ever catch yourself saying “I’m fine” when you really weren’t?

🏡 Home isn’t just a house, it’s feeling safe in your own skin. That’s what therapy builds: the sense that you belong to yourself again.

When you feel at home inside, you show up stronger outside.

Challenge question: what makes you feel more “at home,” your environment or your mindset?

🍂 Fall often brings nostalgia. It can trigger memories, family traditions, or even past loss. For many, October feels tender.

Therapy offers a safe space to hold those layers of joy, grief, and everything in between.

Anyone else notice certain seasons stir up old emotions more than others?

🦋 Growth doesn’t mean constant forward motion. Sometimes it means resting, recalibrating, or giving yourself grace for being human.

Monarch is a place where clients and clinicians alike can feel at home in their own pace of growth.

Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse. It can look like constant irritation, zoning out in meetings, or being “fine” but exhausted.

💙 Therapy helps uncover what’s beneath the surface, so you can reset before you hit the wall.

What small signals do you watch out for in yourself before the “big crash?”

🍁 Anyone else notice moods shift with the season?

Less sunlight and busier schedules can amplify stress or sadness. It’s not “just you,” it’s your body adjusting.

🌱 Coping isn’t about avoiding the dip, but finding gentle ways to ride it.

Ever feel your energy drop as soon as the sun sets earlier?

🎃 October often means more social events, but not everyone feels energized by constant plans.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: “no” can be self-care.

Boundaries don’t push people away, they create space for connection to grow 💙

➡️ Which feels harder for you: saying no to others or saying yes to yourself?

😔 Anyone else feel like fall gets busy before you’ve even caught your breath?

Between school routines, work demands, and shorter days, October can sneak up on your mental health.

✨ Here’s your reminder: overwhelm is a signal, not a failure.

Be honest: are you more likely to push through stress or step back and rest?

🍂 October can bring fresh energy and heavier workloads. When the pace picks up, the nervous system often struggles to keep up.

Grounding tip: Pause before diving into the next task. Even 60 seconds of slow breathing resets your focus 💙

Quick check: do you recharge faster with movement (like a walk) or stillness (like journaling)?

Gratitude may be good for your brain but forced gratitude? That’s emotional gaslighting.

Fall often comes with pressure to “count your blessings” and stay positive. But what if you’re not okay? Real healing means making space for anger, grief, and discomfort…then gratitude.

You don’t need to smile through pain.

You need a space to be honest.

Can you be grateful and still struggle at the same time? Let us know in the comments.

Psychological Assessment Services

My educational and training background include a variety of child, adolescent, and adult assessments; developmental evaluations; and counseling and therapy services to adolescents and adults. I have been conducting assessments and providing diagnostic and treatment recommendations for children and adolescents for the last 4 years. I provide testing and assessment services, and parent education and resources for children, teens, & adults under the supervision of a licensed psychologist.

I provide testing services including ADHD, Developmental Evaluations, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Learning Disorders, Mood & Personality Disorders; pre-/post-employment evaluations for law enforcement candidates; fit-for-duty assessments; pre-surgical evaluations; TPAPN evaluations; Substance Use Assessments; and other comprehensive assessments.

Typically there are three appointments: an intake consisting of an interview regarding functioning and life history; assessment appointment; and a feedback session to review the results, discuss any questions, and review diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
