October is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we’re supporting men’s mental health. 🌿

It’s common for men to feel pressure to “handle it on their own,” but emotions, stress, and anxiety don’t disappear when ignored. Noticing what’s happening inside, seeking support, and caring for your mental health are acts of courage, not weakness.

This month, we invite men to pause, reflect, and remember: you don’t have to face this alone. Healing and support are available, and your well-being matters.

If you’re curious about what therapy can do for you, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. 💛

Today, we honor World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental health is no less important than the well-being of your body, your relationships, or your spirit.

At Presence of Mind Therapy, we believe caring for your mind means slowing down enough to listen to the stress you’ve been carrying, the emotions you’ve been avoiding, and the parts of you that are asking to be seen.

Whether through therapy, community, rest, or reflection, tending to your mental health is an act of deep self-respect.

You don’t have to do it alone. If you’re curious about what therapy can do for you, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. 🦋

Healing often begins with curiosity, and sometimes a good book can be the first step.

On our shelf right now:
- The Mind-Gut Connection by Emeran Mayer, MD – exploring how our gut and brain communicate
- No Bad Parts by Richard C. Schwartz, PhD – an introduction to Internal Family Systems and embracing every part of ourselves
- Pxssy: A Reclamation by Regena Thomashauer – reclaiming feminine power, voice, and vitality
- The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer – an invitation to presence, awareness, and inner freedom

Each of these offers a different lens on healing, self-discovery, and connection. Sometimes the words we read remind us of what’s already within us, waiting to be seen. 🌿

What’s a book that’s shifted your perspective lately?

Take a deep breath with Erin. 🌿

In this short demonstration, Erin guides a simple breathing exercise used in sessions to help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and find calm in the midst of overwhelm.

This is a tool you can practice anytime, anywhere, a gentle way to reconnect with your body, your breath, and your sense of balance.

10/03/2025

Your nervous system is at the heart of everything you do, it helps you think, feel, move, and connect. But in today’s world of constant stress, it’s easy for it to become overworked. Anxiety, burnout, trouble sleeping, or even physical pain can all be signs that your system needs care.

The good news? The nervous system is adaptable, flexible, and capable of change. With the right support, you can restore balance, reduce stress, and reconnect with a sense of safety.

At Presence of Mind Therapy, we help clients explore practical tools, like breathwork, movement, grounding, and somatic practices, while creating a safe, compassionate space for deeper healing.

You don’t need to fix yourself. You’re already whole. Healing is about listening, learning, and gently restoring what’s always been within you.

If you’re curious about what therapy can do for you, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. 💛

Your nervous system isn’t a problem. It’s a guide showing you what your body needs. 🌿

Feeling anxious, numb, or “stuck” isn’t a flaw. It’s your body’s way of protecting you when things feel overwhelming or unsafe. At Presence of Mind Therapy, we don’t aim to fix your nervous system, we help you understand it, befriend it, and learn to move between states of stress and calm with care.

Through talk therapy, somatic practices, spiritual exploration, or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, we support you in listening to your body, learning from it, and building tools for balance, resilience, and safety. Healing isn’t about constant calm, it’s about skillfully navigating the waves of life.

Begin reconnecting with your body and emotions, book a session today.
Call (908) 663-2441 or email newclient@presenceofmindtherapy.com to schedule an appointment. We can’t wait to welcome you in.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is more than a new trend, it’s an innovative way of supporting healing when traditional approaches haven’t gone far enough.

While ketamine alone can relieve symptoms, pairing it with therapy allows deeper work to unfold. With the guidance of a trusted therapist, KAP can help you:
🌿 Access and process difficult emotions
🌿 Shift long-standing patterns
🌿 Reconnect with your inner resilience

It’s not a “quick fix” or overnight cure. Instead, KAP is a supportive process of preparation, dosing, and integration, designed to create lasting change and new possibilities for healing.

At Presence of Mind Therapy, we hold this work with care, ethics, and safety, honoring each client’s unique journey.

💛 Curious to learn more about whether KAP is right for you?
Call (908) 663-2441 or email newclient@presenceofmindtherapy.com today to schedule an appointment. We can’t wait to welcome you in.

Meet Erin Guzman, LSW, Lead Therapist at Presence of Mind Therapy. ✨

With a background in both neuroscience and psychology, Erin understands how deeply our emotional world impacts our physical health and day-to-day life. She brings this whole-person perspective into the therapy room, meeting clients exactly where they are and walking alongside them toward the goals that matter most.

Erin works with a strengths-based approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities like DBT, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Her intention is simple yet powerful: to help clients create the space, balance, and strength needed to process and embrace their mental and emotional needs.

At Presence of Mind, Erin is a grounding, compassionate presence, empowering others to heal at their own pace, in their own way.

We’re grateful for the care she brings to our community. 🦋
