We also need to recognize that motherhood, especially pregnancy and the postpartum period, is a very complex biological, psychological, and social transition.

Virtual therapy isn’t right for everyone, and that’s okay. Some people just feel more comfortable meeting their therapist in person. Others may need therapies that happen in the office or like having a space away from home to focus on themselves.

This summer, consider giving yourself permission to step outside more often. Whether you’re planting flowers, hiking a local trail, swimming in a lake, or simply feeling the grass beneath your feet, nature offers opportunities to nurture both your physical health and your mental well-being.

Trauma isn’t just something we remember. It can show up in our bodies, our nervous systems, and in the patterns our brains use to protect us. While talk therapy is often a helpful first step, sometimes our minds protect us so well that it’s hard to get to the root of the trauma.

Traditional talk therapy primarily engages the thinking mind. Somatic therapy works with the nervous system, helping people understand how stress, trauma, and emotions show up in the body. When used with psychedelics, this approach can lead to deeper healing.

If there is one thing I consistently advocate for in trauma work, it is the power of community. Healing does not happen in isolation.

As the air becomes crisper and decorations begin to pop up in windows and storefronts, it’s easy to feel swept up in the holiday “magic.” Twinkling lights, the scent of baking, familiar songs. All of these can stir excitement, warmth, and connection. But for many of us, the holiday season also brings shadows: grief, loneliness, stress, and overwhelm.

Working with a therapist creates a safe and supportive space where parents and teens can share their perspectives openly.
