June is Pride Month and we want to take a moment to talk about what it actually means to receive affirming care 🏳️‍🌈

LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy isn't just about a therapist being "accepting." It's a clinically informed approach that recognizes your identity as a strength, understands the very real mental health impacts of minority stress, and never treats who you are as the problem to be solved.

Research consistently shows that LGBTQIA+ individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma not because of their identity, but because of the chronic stress of navigating environments that aren't always safe or affirming. The right therapeutic relationship can make a meaningful difference.

You deserve a space where you don't have to explain yourself before you can get to the hard stuff. If you're exploring your identity, navigating relationships, processing family dynamics, or simply looking for a therapist who gets it, we're here.

Donald, one of our incredible interns, is passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community and is currently accepting new clients. Reach out to our care coordination team to learn more about working with Donald or any of our other incredible team members 🌈

This recognition means so much more than an award. It helps increase awareness of mental health support in the Lowcountry and allows us to reach more individuals and families who may be searching for care. If selected, we’ll also have the opportunity to feature our practice in the Lowcountry’s Best magazine, helping even more people connect with the support they need.

This month, we honor those who have given so much to serve our country.

At Balanced Wellness, we are grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside military members, veterans, and their families as they navigate the emotional weight that service can carry. You deserve care that sees you fully.

The transition from the school year to summer can be challenging. The routine is gone. The built-in social time disappears. And many kids don't have the words to tell you something feels off. Instead, it shows up in their behavior as irritability, withdrawal, sleep changes, restlessness, or clinginess. These aren't just "summer adjustment" things to brush off. They're your child's nervous system telling you the transition is harder than it looks.

A few things that can help:
-Keep loose anchors in the day (wake time, meals, a wind-down routine)
-Intentionally build social connection
-Talk about the transition with your child by saying things like, "Change can feel weird, even when it's a good one." or, “It's ok for transitions to feel hard sometimes.”
-Talking about accepting boredom and staying curious about what comes up

If you're seeing significant changes in mood or behavior lasting more than a couple of weeks, it may be time to talk to someone. Our team of therapists is here to help make the shift into summer feel a little smoother.

"It's surreal to feel this positive on day 2 of my period."

If you live with PMDD, you know exactly why that sentence hits so hard. Day 2 isn't just uncomfortable, it can feel unbearable. The emotional weight, the dark thoughts, the feeling that this is just who you are. It's not.

This is what a year of showing up in therapy can look like. Akacia's client is doing the hard work, and the results are speaking for themselves.

You deserve to feel free in your own body and mind, even on the hard days.

We're so excited to share that Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) is now available at Balanced Wellness both virtually in NC, SC, FL, and GA, and in person at our Ridgeland office!

EMDR is a research-backed therapy designed to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and distressing life experiences. It works by using bilateral stimulation to help your nervous system do what it was designed to do, heal. Many clients find relief from experiences they've carried for years, often in fewer sessions than traditional therapy alone.

If you've felt stuck carrying something you can't seem to talk your way through, EMDR might be the next step. We'd love to help you find out if it's a good fit.

Today we honor the men and women who serve not just for what they do, but for everything they carry doing it.

Service members and their families give so much. The time away, the weight of what they've witnessed, the way they keep showing up even when the personal cost is high. That kind of dedication deserves more than one day of recognition.

To every service member in our community, you are seen, you are valued, and your wellbeing matters deeply to us.

Happy Armed Forces Day from all of us at Balanced Wellness 🤍
