✨ "All parts are welcome." – Dick Schwartz

In the journey of healing, we often try to silence or exile the parts of ourselves that feel too angry, too anxious, too needy, or too ashamed. But what if those parts aren’t broken? What if they’re just trying to protect us in the only way they know how?

IFS teaches us that every part of us has a purpose—and when we meet them with compassion instead of judgment, we begin to heal from the inside out.

✨ Even the most disruptive parts are trying to protect us. Their methods may be extreme, but their intentions are rooted in survival.

🕰️ Many parts are frozen in time, stuck in past traumas where their roles were once necessary. They’re not “bad”—they’re burdened.

💡 When these parts begin to trust that it’s safe to step out of their roles, they reveal their true gifts. They become allies, offering wisdom, creativity, and strength to the system.

This is the beauty of parts work: it’s not about silencing or fixing—it’s about listening, understanding, and inviting transformation.

💬 What part of you needs a little more compassion today?

When the boss is away, the kids will play! Love our staff meetings at ELC. Today we got to staff a case with Kelly and watch some therapy film (of yours truly). Love sharpening our clinical skills together.

Have a great weekend, crew!

Sometimes, in our relationships, we find ourselves stuck in the same arguments, the same reactions, the same feelings—over and over again.
These patterns aren’t random. They’re part of a negative cycle.

✨ The first step toward change is noticing the cycle.

Noticing when you are in the cycle can help you slow down and see your actual needs underneath all those feelings so you can more effectively communicate them.

Slow down. Notice the Cycle. See the negative dance.

Happy !

“Once you are real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always.” — The Velveteen Rabbit

✨Healing is not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been—your truest, most authentic self.
In therapy, we peel back the layers of fear, shame, and self-doubt to rediscover the real you. And once you touch that truth, it stays with you. Always.
💬 You are worthy. You are real. And that can never be undone.

Happy !

Our office participates in a local race every year. This year, our staff (and some family members) participated in the Run for Hope 5k. This race honored the victims and families of addiction. If you haven't checked out Hope is Alive, it's a great non-profit organization that helps those struggling with addiction recovery.
�These races are always fun for us. We also go grab some delicious brunch afterwards. Team building at its finest!

Go run this weekend!

🌿 Patience is a hard discipline.
It is not just waiting until something happens over which we have no control:
the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict.
Patience is not waiting passively until someone else does something.
Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment,
to taste the here and now, to be where we are.
— Henri Nouwen
This quote has been on my mind lately.
Not as a gentle whisper, but as a challenge.
To stop grasping for what’s next.
To stop numbing the discomfort of uncertainty.
To stop outsourcing peace to future outcomes.
Patience is presence.
It’s choosing to stay with the moment—even when it’s messy, unresolved, or aching.
It’s trusting that growth is happening, even when nothing seems to be moving.
If you’re in a season of waiting, know this:
You are not idle. You are becoming.
And that is sacred work. 💛

“Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.”
— Lou Holtz

Behind every meaningful accomplishment is a story of struggle.
Not the kind that’s always visible. Not the kind that gets applause.
But the kind that shapes character, builds resilience, and deepens purpose.
✨ Whether it’s healing from trauma, rebuilding after loss, or simply showing up when it’s hard—adversity is the silent partner in every worthwhile journey.
As a therapist, I’ve witnessed this truth time and time again, as well as in my own life:

The most powerful breakthroughs often come from the most painful breakdowns.
So if you’re in a season of challenge, know this—
You’re not off track. You’re being refined.
Your story is being written in strength, not perfection.
🕊️ You are becoming someone who will inspire others simply by surviving and choosing to grow.
💬 Drop a 💪 if you’ve overcome something that made you stronger.
Tag someone whose journey reminds you of this truth.

Laura shares a heartfelt reflection on the impacts of su***de on her life—and how that loss shaped her path toward helping others heal. Her story is tender, honest, and full of compassion for anyone who has experienced deep loss.

If you’re grieving, struggling, or simply needing to feel less alone, Laura’s words may offer comfort and some direction for you. Don't go through your battle alone. Healing is possible.

🌿 Love is a living thing.
It doesn’t simply fade—it withers when neglected, when we forget to nourish its roots.

Anaïs Nin once wrote:
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."

Let this be a gentle reminder:
💧 Tend to your relationships.
🪞 Reflect with honesty.
🫱🏽‍🫲🏿 Repair what’s broken.
💬 Communicate with care.
❤️ Love with intention.

Love doesn’t ask for perfection—just presence.
