I’m excited to share that I am now a certified SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) Facilitator! 💍

✔️ Couples (engaged OR already married) can take the SYMBIS assessment to discover strengths, growth areas, and practical tools for building a stronger relationship.
✔️ Research shows that couples who do premarital counseling are 31% less likely to divorce and honestly, it’s just a great way to really know each other on a deeper level.
✔️ SYMBIS isn’t just for those about to say “I do”, married couples can use it to refresh, reconnect, and strengthen their bond, too.

One thing I love about SYMBIS is that it was created with a faith-based foundation. The owners, Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott, integrate biblical principles into the approach—making it meaningful for couples who want their relationship grounded in faith.

👉🏾 Rates vary depending on your insurance coverage.
👉🏾 Optional resources like books/workbooks are available, but all you really need to get started is the online SYMBIS assessment (I’ll provide access).

This is all about giving your relationship the tools to not just survive, but thrive—spiritually and emotionally. 🌱📈

This training strengthens my ability to support military members, veterans, and blue-collar professionals, helping them work through stress, transitions, and life’s toughest challenges with understanding and purpose.

At NextLevelCLM, my mission is to help you take things to the next level—building resilience, balance, and growth.

Movement and dopamine: A match made in mental health heaven. 🧠✨

Dopamine, often referred to as the “feel-good” neurotransmitter, plays a crucial role in our brain’s reward system. Physical activity helps release dopamine, enhancing mood and boosting overall mental well-being. Engaging in regular movement—whether it’s dancing, running, or even a brisk walk—stimulates the brain, reducing stress and anxiety levels.

🧠 Your Brain on Daily Actions 🧠

Did you know the size of your hippocampus—the part of your brain responsible for memory and learning—can shrink or grow depending on your daily habits?

Just like a muscle, your hippocampus can get stronger with positive habits or weaken with poor ones. Keeping this part of your brain strong is crucial, as a smaller hippocampus is linked to cognitive decline and is a key marker in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease.

What Affects the Size of Your Brain’s Memory Hub?

🌱 Habits That Help It Grow:
• Meditation 🧘‍♂️
• Quality Sleep 😴
• Exercise 🏃‍♂️
• Mental Activity 📚
• Mediterranean Diet 🍇🥗

❌ Habits That Can Shrink It:
• Stress 😰
• Poor Sleep 💤
• Obesity 🍔
• Depression 😔
• Western Diet 🍕🍟

Your daily choices matter more than you think. Let’s make sure we’re building a strong hippocampus, so our brains stay sharp and healthy for the long run! 💪🏾

📣 **Exciting News!** 📣

Headway is expanding to Medicare Advantage and Medicaid, leveraging new funding to make mental healthcare accessible to everyone. Starting in 2025, Chris will be accepting these clients, opening the door to great care for millions more people in need.

Headway’s recent $100 million Series D funding will help widen access to mental health care for over 100 million Americans covered by Medicare Advantage and Medicaid. Despite the high need, access remains a problem due to a shortage of mental health providers. Headway is addressing this by enabling clinicians to fill these gaps, making it easier for them to accept patients through insurance.

Stay tuned for more updates as we work towards building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access! 🌟
