🌿 Let’s Talk About Self-Pay Therapy

For some people, keeping their mental health care separate from their insurance is a personal preference.

This can be especially important for working professionals who value privacy, flexibility, and having more control over their care.

💚 Privacy: Self-pay can reduce the amount of treatment information shared with insurance companies.

💚 Flexibility: Therapy can focus on individual needs and goals without being limited by insurance coverage requirements.

💚 Support at Every Stage: Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, career stress, relationships, or personal growth, therapy provides a space to focus on your mental well-being.

💚 Transparent Pricing: Self-pay offers clear, upfront session fees without the uncertainty of insurance claims or deductibles.

We continue to accept insurance and offer self-pay options. We believe individuals should understand their options when making decisions about mental health care.

🌿 For those who prefer a private-pay approach, we’d love to help you explore whether it’s a good fit.

Sometimes feeling unfulfilled is just a sign that something in you is asking for more. What if this season is pointing you there? 💙

You don’t have to change the little things that make you, you. 🌈 Belonging should never require pretending. ❤️

Maybe peace isn’t the absence of rain. Maybe it’s finding something gentle inside it. 🌼

Radical Acceptance 💙

Sometimes we spend so much time wishing things had happened differently.

We replay it, think about what we should’ve said, or wish someone had made a different choice. But no matter how many times we go over it, we can’t change what already happened.

Radical acceptance doesn’t mean what happened was okay. It just means accepting that it happened.

We can still be hurt. We can still wish it were different. We just don’t have to keep fighting with a reality we can’t change.

Sometimes accepting where we are is what finally helps us move forward. 💙

We’re happy to introduce Chelsee Houze, the newest member of the Mindful Healing team! 🌿

Chelsee is joining us as a Resident in Counseling, and we’re so glad to have her with us. We’re looking forward to seeing her connect with our clients and bring her own unique approach and perspective to our practice.

Check out Chelsee’s bio below to learn more about her, and join us in giving her a warm welcome to Mindful Healing! 💚
________________________________________________________

Hello! My name is Chelsee Houze, and I am a Resident in Counseling and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC). I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of clinical settings, with experience supporting individuals impacted by trauma, foster care involvement, substance use, co‑occurring mental health concerns, behavioral health challenges, and major life transitions. I am especially passionate about helping clients understand how trauma, attachment disruptions, adverse childhood experiences, and generational patterns influence their emotional and relational wellbeing.I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and practical therapeutic environment where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow.

I utilize a range of evidence‑based modalities, as no single approach fits every client. My work incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Trust‑Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). I am also working toward becoming trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to further support clients processing trauma. My approach blends empathy, psychoeducation, and gentle, honest feedback to help clients identify barriers and build meaningful, sustainable change.

Outside of counseling, I enjoy reading, baking, and spending time with my chickens.

I provide services both in person and via telehealth and am currently under the supervision of Wayne Powell, LPC at Mindful Healing.

Distress Tolerance 💙

Distress tolerance is our ability to get through really difficult emotions without reacting in ways that might make things worse.

When emotions are high, it can be hard to think clearly. Sometimes we need to calm our body down before we can figure out what to do next.

One DBT skill that can help is TIP. Something as simple as putting cold water on our face, doing a short burst of exercise, or slowing down our breathing can help bring the intensity of the emotion down.

The goal isn’t to get rid of the feeling. It’s to get through the hardest part of it without making the situation harder. 💙
