Maddi Schmelz provides mental health therapy services for young adults and teens in California. Are you struggling to get a handle on all this adulting stuff?

Welcome to Mindful Moments with Maddi, a safe space that promotes healing, growth, and self-love. My name is Maddi Schmelz and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I believe that each person is a unique individual with their own set of strengths that make them beautiful inside and out. My work with clients is a collaborative approach that allows us to work together to help

you find clarity, direction, and purpose so you can pave the path towards a future you're excited about. Trying to manage daily responsibilities, keep up with work and school, have a social life, make time for self-care, all while trying to figure out your future (no pressure or anything). This can feel so overwhelming to where you are struggling with focus and motivation, and you're starting to overthink EVERYTHING! You’re probably questioning yourself, your abilities, and whether you’ll be able to handle the responsibilities of adulthood. The truth? It’s totally natural to feel overwhelmed, scared, and to doubt yourself. Adulting is hard, and I can help you through it. I help teens, young adults and college students transition into adulthood with confidence. Working with me means you get to show up exactly as you are. You can wear sweats or heels, use a journal to take notes, bring snacks or a blanket, or anything in between. Together we will talk, laugh, cry, and celebrate as you grow into the best version of you. You don’t have to keep struggling by yourself and putting on a brave face for everyone else. I can help you break free from the fears and doubts holding you back. Let’s work together to make sense of this “adulting” stuff and figure out what your future is going to look like. Appointments are offered in-person at my Palm Desert office, or virtually through Zoom for individuals located anywhere in California.

You don't have to "fail" at something to start over. Sometimes starting over can mean a fresh start after a pause or a break. Cheers to a fresh start and starting day 1.

Today one of my clients didn't show up. So I spent the hour in my office, listening to Disney music and coloring in my Gilmore Girls coloring book.

Reminder that we don't always have to fill those empty spaces with "productive" things like work or cleaning. Sometimes the best use of those moments is allowing yourself to do something fun or relaxing, like coloring.

Happy Monday! 🌞

In case you needed a little reminder today... You are enough exactly as you are. No proof required. 👏

We often create stories in our mind that tell us we have to do certain things in order to be good enough... like getting the entire to-do list done, or earning straight A's, or getting up to our first alarm of the day. 😅

The truth is, we are good enough exactly as we are. Sometimes we just need a little reminder to break free from those negative thought spirals. 🥰

Drop a ❤️ if this resonates with you.

I'm sure by now you've heard the term "adulting". While there are soooo many different definitions and interpretations of the word, this one seems to capture it best (in my opinion). 🧐

Adulting: to carry out one or more of the duties and responsibilities expected of a grown up.

So why is adulting so important? Well, because many of us are held to the standard of knowing how to adult, without actually being taught the skills to do so. 🙃

You might be thinking, Ok, so how the heck am I supposed to adult when I don't know how, and we all know there isn't a manual for it? Furthermore, how am I supposed to feel confident in my ability to adult if I don't know what I'm doing half the time and I really am just trying to get through the day at this point? 🤯

I know how exhausting it can be to try and balance all the adulting things and feeling overwhelmed with the thoughts telling you that you're not doing enough. 😵‍ (Spoiler alert.... you are doing enough, and you are enough 💙)

If you're ready to break free from self-doubt and the overthinking thought spirals so you can learn to adult with confidence, I got you! 🫶

I am accepting new clients for Summer! Visit my website to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation so we can see if I'm the right therapist for you! 📆

A common tip for anxiety is to use "grounding" skills, but I find that while many people are familiar with this term, they often are unsure of how to go about it. 🤷‍♀️

If that's you, please know that you are not alone and I'm here to help! 💚

Here are some suggestions for how to ground yourself if you find yourself spiraling down the rabbit hole of overthinking, worrying, or simply feeling anxious or on edge. 🤯

🌸 Smell Something
🌸 Drink Something
🌸 Hold Something
🌸 Use Water
🌸 Move Your Body
🌸 Feel the Earth

Let me know in the comments which one resonates with you. 👇

Sometimes weekends can be relaxing and refreshing. Sometimes they can be busy and jam-packed. Sometimes they can be a combination of both. ☀️

Today I invite you to let go of the weekend you had and shift your energy to focus on being present, today, in this moment. 🙏

Sometimes it can be helpful to set an intention or create a goal for your day in order to help you shift focus into the present moment. 💚

What's your intention or goal for the day? Let me know in the comments. 👇

Happy Friday! 😎

As we get ready to close out a busy week, I hope you take a little time for reflection. Not sure what to reflect on? That's OK! Here's a suggestion to get you started. 🧐

What step forward did you take this week?

You can think through it, journal about it, talk it out, whatever works for YOU. And if you're feeling up to it, share your results in the comments so we can cheer you on! 🥳

Reminder to all my busy bees out there, to take a moment to pause today. 🐝

You can pause for 30 seconds, 5 minutes, a whole hour, whatever you have time for. ⏰

During your pause, I encourage you to check in with yourself to see how you're feeling and what you need. You might need a snack, water, to stretch your legs, rest your eyes, to connect with someone, to pet your dog, or even just simply to breathe. 😮‍💨

These pauses can be so powerful in allowing us a time to step away from work, school, chores, or the to-do list, even if only for a few minutes. 💚

Keep going. Keep practicing. Keep showing up for yourself. 🌻

Happy Monday! ☀

If you find yourself struggling to get out of bed and get going in the morning, you may benefit from shaking up your morning routine, or making a routine if you don't have one already. 💚

Some things that can help get you going in the morning and add a little pep to your step include... setting an intention for the day, reading a page in your book or something inspirational, drinking a glass of water, taking a shower and getting ready with your favorite music on, doing some stretches or exercise, texting a friend...📅

How are you starting off your day? Drop it in the comments. 👇👇
