You’ve heard it…
“You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
“You need to put your oxygen mask on first.”
We want to remind women how important it is to put yourself first while recognizing how hard that can be. Identifying as a woman comes with many joys, and there is much to celebrate about the female experience.
However, the unique roles that women play throughout their lives also come with unique difficulties. Women often put the needs of others ahead of their own and ignore their own challenges until the burden becomes too heavy. This can leave women feeling unsupported, isolated, and drained.
You are not alone, and help is available.
We offer a safe and supportive space where you can share your challenges and get the support you deserve. Sessions are tailored to the needs and goals of our clients, and our counselors employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and much more.

3 Breathing Exercises to Help Reduce Stress and Anxiety
The body is our vessel of life, our tool for engaging with the world around us, and our protector. For many of us, anxiety takes us out of our bodies and locks us in our thoughts about the past or the future. Thankfully, when we are jolted into an anxious state, simple breathing exercises can help turn on the rest response in the body through activation of the parasympathetic nervous system and stimulation of the vagus nerve. Here are three simple breathing exercises that help reduce stress and anxiety.
Infertility’s Impact on Women’s Mental Health
For many women, the conception and birth of a child is a momentous, long-awaited, and life changing event.
