As the holidays approach, it’s important to remember that this season can be difficult for many. 💭 The colder weather, darker days, and reduced sunlight can lead to an increase in depressive symptoms due to less Vitamin D and fewer outdoor activities. At Ivory Lotus Therapy, we understand how challenging this time of year can be — and we’re here to help you through it with compassion and care. 🌿 You don’t have to face it alone.

🎉 DC, We Came, We Saw, We Advocated! (And Made Some Amazing Friends!) 🎉

Wow. Ivory Lotus Therapy is absolutely bursting with gratitude, excitement, and honor after attending the incredible 10KSB Summit in Washington D.C.!
Talk about an energy boost! We got to hear from so many powerful business owners sharing their jaw-dropping stories and insights. But the absolute highlight was taking our seat at the table on Capitol Hill.

Why We Showed Up on The Hill 🏛️
We spent time advocating for change and making sure policymakers understand the real-world challenges facing small businesses. Specifically, we raised our voices about how current healthcare policies are impacting our clients and the wonderful, necessary work that mental health clinics do. It’s time for changes that truly support our clients and our mission!

The Best Part? The 👯‍♀️
Forget competition—this summit was all about collaboration! I was so thrilled that three mental health clinic owners were able to attend the summit together. We were lifting each other up, sharing wins, and creating lifelong friendships that go way beyond business cards.

That’s the kind of small business world we want: one where we’re all cheering on each other’s successes and building a stronger economy, together!
Huge thanks to the 10KSB program for creating such a dynamic space for growth and advocacy. We are coming home energized and ready to work!

✨Slowdown Sunday✨
This week, Ivory Lotus Therapy wants to remind you that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you're struggling, reach out to a friend, family member, or a professional. You don't have to carry it all alone.
