This Pride month, let’s remember to learn from LGBTQIA+ history and the reason why we’re able to celebrate today.

What your clients eat, or don't, shows up in the therapy room, whether you name it or not. Led by Jessie Sisneros, LCPC and Aby Fewel, MS, RD, LDN, we will explore what it looks like when food and mental health treatment work together, and what gets left on the table when they don't.

During this training, Jessie and Aby will show how to:
🌟 Recognize when under-fueling may be showing up in your clients' mood, cognition, or engagement in session.
🌟 Identify the signs of disordered eating patterns even when an eating disorder isn't the primary diagnosis.
🌟 Understand how nutrition and therapy support each other, and where each one begins and ends.
🌟 Learn practical approaches to referrals, communication, and coordinated care.

Spring can feel like a time to reset, refresh, and get everything “in order.”
But it can also bring pressure: to do more, fix more, and be more.

And that pressure can make it harder to notice what you actually need.

Caring for your mental health doesn’t always look like productivity.
Sometimes it looks like:
slowing down
resting without guilt
choosing what truly energizes you

You don’t have to become a “better” version of yourself this season. You can start by meeting yourself where you are.. 🌿

What does your pace look like right now? 💫

If you’re looking for support, we’re here! Explore our website or reach out to connect with a therapist.

Research shows that pets can have a powerful impact on mental health by reducing stress, increasing feelings of connection, encouraging routine, and providing comfort. Even a quick cuddle, walk, or playful interaction with a pet can help regulate the nervous system and boost mood.

Whether they’re curled up beside us during notes, joining virtual sessions off-camera, greeting us after a long day, or keeping us grounded, these animals remind us of the importance of companionship, presence, and unconditional support.

Swipe through these slides to see the pets of Sage and how they show up for us so we can show up for you!
