Halloween is about ghosts, ghouls, and things that go bump in the night, but sometimes our real-life worries can feel scarier than any costume.

💡 Tips for a Healthy Mind this Halloween:
- Acknowledge your fears: They’re normal, and talking about them helps.
- Practice self-care: Cozy blankets, calming activities, or time with loved ones.
- Set boundaries: Say “no” to things that overwhelm you, even on spooky nights!

Remember: it’s okay if your mental health feels a little “haunted” sometimes. You don’t have to face it alone. Reach out to our office to schedule a session with one of our clinicians today (admin@graceintegrated.com).

What is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than being “organized” or “perfectionistic.” It involves:

Obsessions: Intrusive, unwanted thoughts or fears

Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or mental rituals aimed at reducing anxiety

Why Awareness Matters:
Understanding OCD helps reduce stigma and encourages people to seek help early.

Evidence-Based Interventions:
✅ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identify and reframe intrusive thoughts
✅ Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) – Gradually confront fears without performing compulsions
✅ Support & Education – Guidance for families and caregivers

💡 OCD is treatable. Seeking help is a sign of strength. Let’s raise awareness and promote mental wellness together.

This fall-inspired quote reminds us that change is a natural part of life and mental health. Just as trees shed their leaves to make way for new growth, we can also let go of unhelpful habits, thoughts, or patterns that weigh us down.

We help clients:
✅ Identify thoughts and behaviors that may no longer serve them
✅ Develop coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety
✅ Build resilience and embrace positive change

This season, consider what you might “let go” of to create space for growth, healing, and well-being.

After watching/reading and going through different challenges, can life feel like a fairy tale? Dale M. Kushner (2024) writes a study on how fairy tales offer a healing source for expressing our own unconscious struggles and the wisdom/courage to overcome them. Each story offers a portal to strong emotions that can be explored during and outside of session!

Are there any fairytales one likes to tell or reflect on for fun? :)

A cool breeze, trees changing colors, and holidays arriving can make October a memorable month of the year! John-Manuel Andriote (2021) explores how this month offers 9 lessons for living fulfilling life:
1. Remember to stay connected with nature
2. Be mindful of ever-changing beauty around you
3. Be aware how life is fragile, like the leaves falling, to live each day meaningfully
4. Do not be afraid to express your authentic side, like the changing tree colors
5. Reap the harvest of your labor in growing skills and building meaningful relationships
6.. Store up wisdom and apply it to solve apparent problems
7.. Pass along what we know, like the trees offering their acorns when they fall down
8. Be flexible with wearing both heavy and light clothes
9. Protect your roots, such as family and friends

Are there other months that offer inspiration on how to live life while connecting with others? :)

Have you checked in with your body today?

A body scan is a simple somatic practice that helps you reconnect with your physical and emotional self.

Try this quick body scan:
- Find a quiet space and sit or lie down comfortably.
- Close your eyes and take a few slow breaths.
- Gently bring awareness to your feet… then slowly move up through your body (legs, hips, back, shoulders, jaw).

Notice any tension, warmth, tightness, or ease without judgment.

You don’t need to fix anything. Just notice.

Body scans can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, calm the nervous system, and build self-awareness.

Your body holds wisdom. All you have to do is listen.

✨ October is ADHD Awareness Month ✨
ADHD is often misunderstood as “just being distracted” or “not paying attention,” but it’s so much more than that. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect focus, emotional regulation, organization, and daily functioning.
💡 Some key things to remember about ADHD:
It’s not laziness — it’s about how the brain is wired.
ADHD looks different in everyone (not just “hyperactivity”).
Many people with ADHD also have incredible strengths: creativity, resilience, empathy, and out-of-the-box thinking.
Support, understanding, and proper tools make a huge difference.
This month, let’s replace myths with understanding, and stigma with compassion. 💛

✨ Nature-Based Somatic Practice ✨

Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected? Try grounding with nature:
🌱 Step into nature – Find a tree, patch of grass, or even a houseplant.
👣 Root yourself – Place your feet on the ground, imagine roots growing deep into the earth.
💨 Breathe with the earth – On each exhale, let stress flow down your roots. On each inhale, draw up calm and steadiness.
🌿 Attune – Gently sway like a branch, stretch like the sun is pulling you upward, or curl like a leaf.

About Us

As 2020 begins, I sit and contemplate the importance of therapy for families today. Where were I be personally without it? How would my children lives be different if my husband and I did not make personal growth a priority? What patterns of chaos would be happening daily in my home, in my marriage, and with the people I cherish most because of unconscious patters of dysfunction I am repeating from my own childhood because “I do not know any better.” Today, I insist on knowing better, so I can do better. That is what therapy offers to people. Have you heard the old adage, “they did the best they knew how,” as a way to reconcile how terrible older generations did at parenting. Albeit true for most, they did the best they knew how, except the best was typically abusive, traumatic, emotionally insensitive and detached. Those generational traumas being passed down decade after decade, leaving us to lean on adages like “they did they best they knew how,” as a way to cope with our own wounds. My husband and I refuse to accept the ignorance of that statement. And instead, chose on a weekly basis through our own therapy to demand a better way for us, and as an extension, our children. Grace Integrated offers to our clients a better way. Our clinicians do their own therapy, so they can help you carve out a path for your own life that is full of awareness. You no longer have to struggle, fight, and feel detached from your own life. Therapy offers a new, better way. As the founder of Grace Integrated, I advocate so fully for everyone to experience therapy because “doing the best they could,” is not best at all. Grace Integrated is a family owned and run business dedicated to healing the wounds of generations, so that we promote the new generation of best. A generation of families taught secure attachments through emotional sensitivity, parental responsiveness and unconditional love. Come and join us as it is never too late to live your best life.
