New Blog Post: The Power of Pleasure and Play

The Rooted and Rising series at Clark Counseling Services, LLC continues with the fourth domain of holistic well-being, pleasure and play.

As adults, we often prioritize productivity over joy. Yet research and clinical practice both remind us that pleasure and play are not luxuries; they are essential components of emotional regulation, creativity, and resilience.

In this post, I explore:
✅ How play supports emotional flexibility and stress recovery
✅ Why pleasure helps regulate the nervous system and foster connection
✅ Practical ways to reintroduce joy and playfulness into daily life

New Blog Post: Intellectual Curiosity and Mental Well-Being

The Rooted and Rising series at Clark Counseling Services, LLC continues with a focus on intellectual curiosity — the third domain in this holistic framework for wellness.

Curiosity is more than an academic pursuit. It is a mindset that supports emotional regulation, resilience, and psychological flexibility. When we stay open to learning and exploration, we cultivate adaptability, creativity, and meaning in everyday life.

In this post, I explore:

✅ How curiosity enhances mental health and life satisfaction
✅ The role of curiosity in therapeutic growth and self-reflection
✅ Practical ways to nurture curiosity in daily living

🏃‍♀️ New Blog Post: Movement and Physical Activity 🧘

The Rooted and Rising series at Clark Counseling Services, LLC continues with a focus on one of the most essential foundations of well-being, movement.

Movement is far more than exercise. It is a dialogue between the body and mind that supports emotional regulation, stress resilience, and cognitive clarity. Research continues to affirm what many therapeutic traditions have long understood: how we move our bodies deeply influences how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others.

In this post, I explore:

✅ The relationship between physical activity and mental health
✅ Clinical perspectives on somatic awareness and embodied healing
✅ Practical ways to integrate mindful movement into daily life

🌿 New Blog Post: The Healing Power of Nature Connection 🌿

I’m excited to share the first entry in our Rooted and Rising blog series at Clark Counseling Services, LLC. This series explores six interconnected domains of well-being that foster vitality, authenticity, and resilience.

We begin with one of the most fundamental: connection with nature. Research in psychology and wellness science shows that time in nature reduces stress, restores attention, and helps us reconnect with meaning and perspective.

In this post, I discuss:
✅ Why humans are wired for connection with the natural world
✅ Clinical perspectives on ecotherapy and attention restoration
✅ Practical, accessible ways to integrate nature into daily life

New Blog Series: Rooted and Rising

At Clark Counseling Services, LLC, we believe that mental health is more than the absence of distress. It’s about cultivating vitality, authenticity, and resilience.

I’ve launched a new blog series exploring a framework I’ve developed called Rooted and Rising. This model integrates existential psychology, mindfulness, ecotherapy, and wellness science into six interconnected domains that support holistic well-being:

Nature Connection
Movement and Physical Activity
Intellectual Curiosity
Pleasure and Play
Social Connection
Spiritual and Existential Practice

Each post in this series will examine one of these domains, highlighting research, clinical perspectives, and practical applications for everyday living.
The first post introduces the overall framework and sets the stage for deeper exploration.

I’m looking forward to sharing this journey with you and opening conversations around how we can all become more rooted and rising in our daily lives.

🌱 What happens when modern science meets the healing power of nature?

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can create powerful shifts in awareness. Ecotherapy helps ground those insights in the natural world. Together, they form a unique path toward healing, balance, and connection.

Grief isn’t linear. It’s more like being in a room where a bouncing ball sometimes hits a “button” on the wall suddenly bringing a rush of feelings. Over time, that button gets smaller. Our latest blog by David Ernst, LCSW, offers this relatable way to understand grief and shares simple supports for getting through the next hour.
