🍎 Back to school is a transition for everyone.

New classrooms. New teachers. New routines. New expectations. Earlier mornings. Busier evenings.

And sometimes… a whole lot of feelings.

Whether you’re a:

🎒 Kid struggling with a new school, separation, friendships, or big emotions
📚 Teen navigating stress, anxiety, social pressure, or changing expectations
☕ Parent trying to hold everyone (and yourself) together through the transition
✏️ Teacher or school staff member heading back into the beautiful, exhausting chaos of caring for everyone else’s kids…

You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Express Yourself Marriage & Family Therapy currently has immediate availability for children, teens, and adults, with both in-person and telehealth appointments available.

💛 Support for the whole family — including the grown-ups who spend their days supporting everyone else.

✨ We’ve been featured!

Central Coast Voyager recently sat down with our founder, Kelly Schindler, LMFT, to talk about how Express Yourself Marriage & Family Therapy came to be, the learning curve of building a private practice, and what makes our team a little different.

One of our favorite things about EYMFT is that we aren’t all the same. Our clinicians bring different personalities, specialties, approaches, and strengths to the therapy room, because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are therapists.

From play therapy and working with kids and families, to our unofficial “teen whisperer,” EMDR, adult therapy, couples work, and everything our growing team brings to the table, we want people to have the opportunity to find a therapist who genuinely feels like the right fit.

We’re incredibly excited to have our story featured as one of the Central Coast’s Hidden Gems. 💛

And a huge thank you to Central Coast Voyager for giving local small businesses a space to share their stories. ✨

Therapy doesn’t have to end when your session does. 💚

At Express Yourself Marriage & Family Therapy, we’re proud to have clinicians who are passionate about creating resources that support people beyond the therapy room.

📖 The Field Guide to Motherhood by Kelly Schindler, LMFT helps parents navigate the often-overlooked transition into matrescence with research, reflection, and practical tools.

💜 Anxiety Unpacked by Jessica Claridge, AMFT gives teens real-life strategies, coping skills, and encouragement for managing anxiety in a way that feels approachable and relatable.

Whether you’re looking for support between sessions, a meaningful gift for someone you love, or simply another way to invest in your mental health, we’re honored to share these resources with our community.

Because healing doesn’t only happen in the therapy room—it can happen one page at a time. ✨

🍎 The end of summer often brings more than new backpacks and calendars.

It brings new routines, changing expectations, busy schedules, and a lot of transitions for the whole family. Even positive changes can feel overwhelming when everyone is adjusting at the same time.

Whether your child is starting a new school, your teen is navigating new challenges, or you’re trying to balance work, parenting, and everything in between, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Our clinicians currently have immediate availability for children, teens, adults, couples, and families through both in-person and telehealth appointments.

As one season ends and another begins, we’re here to help your family navigate the transition with confidence and support.

Your inner voice matters.

It’s the one you’ll hear more than anyone else’s for the rest of your life.

If you wouldn’t say it to someone you love, it might be time to stop saying it to yourself.

Helen said it better than most of us could.

Good communication isn’t just about expressing your thoughts—it’s also about creating space to hear someone else’s.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can say is… nothing, while we truly listen.

💬 What’s one communication skill you’ve been working on lately?

Ever spend the entire week thinking, “I have SO much to talk about in therapy…” only to sit down and suddenly your mind goes completely blank? 😅

Trust me—you are far from the only one.

It happens more often than you might think, and it doesn’t mean you’re “doing therapy wrong.” Sometimes our brains need a few moments to settle before the thoughts start flowing. That’s part of the process.

And if all else fails… we’ll usually find them together. 💙

Have you ever had a therapy brain freeze? 🤭
