Now offering group therapy sessions on a variety of mental health and wellness topics on Thursdays from 3-4pm.
December 5th: Healing Yourself From Past Hurts
Forgiving someone who has wronged you is a sign of strength, not weakness. It does not mean that you condone the hurtful actions, but rather that you will not allow those actions to burden you any longer. Strategies will be explored.
December 12th: Clutter and Trauma: How Are They Related?
When a person experiences traumatic events, they build protective walls as a coping mechanism to shield themselves from the outside world. Having the stuff around them in their physical space gives them a sense of control that is more important than having a clean house. Clutter and trauma have a complex relationship, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a permanent relationship. A clutter-free life is possible.
December 19th: The Importance of Play for Adults
Play has numerous benefits for adult’s physical and mental health, including helping us feel more supported, be more physically active, and have more life satisfaction. As adults, we often don’t play nearly enough, but with the right intention, you can begin to bring more play into your life. Fun activities will be explored.
