Fall really has a way of showing us what it looks like to let go gently.

The trees don't fight it, they just release what they no longer need. They also trust that spring will come back around.

There is something about remembering nature's approach that makes it a little easier to talk about change within ourselves too.

What is your favorite change to witness the fall season?

Recently, one of my clients chose to spend part of our session outside. We collected flowers and pieced together a little bouquet to take home.

Something so simple, but yet it said more than words could. Resilience does not require perfection. I t can be found in whatever is already growing right where you are.

That’s part of why I love working outside with my clients. Nature doesn’t ask us to have it all figured out before it offers us something beautiful.

Even after a tree falls, the forest doesn't stop growing. New vines find their way across the trunk and life keeps moving forward around what broke.

That's healing too: not a straight line back to how things were, but something new growing around what fell.

It's part of why I offer walk-and-talk therapy. Sometimes the best place to process what's breaking us down is outside, surrounded by proof that growth keeps happening even after something falls.

Not every session needs four walls and a couch.

Sometimes when kids go through something hard, sitting across from someone and talking about it is the last thing that feels safe.

That's why so much of the work we do together uses our hands as much as our words: building a habitat for an imaginary animal, sorting rocks by the pond, making something instead of just talking about something. It gives big feelings somewhere to go, and over time, a little steadier footing underneath them.

This is part of what we explore in Helping Heal Little Hearts, our Tuesday group for kids working through hard experiences.

Transitions don't happen all at once.

They ripple outward long after the big moment is over: the quiet that settles into a house, the new routines, the pride that still catches me off guard even now. I talk often about helping families move through change.

This year, I've been learning that right alongside my own.

Healing begins with feeling safe.

We offer small group therapy for children impacted by school gun violence, split by age (5–9 and 10–12) so kids can connect with peers who understand what they've been through, in a space built just for them.

Groups meet Tuesdays here in St. Paul. If your child could use this kind of support, we'd love to talk with you. Send us a message today.

One month into fall's new pace. How are YOU actually doing, not just how are the kids doing?

This year has asked more of a lot of parents than usual. There's room for you here too.

Fresh air and a phone consult with a fellow provider today. Sometimes the best thinking happens outside, not at a desk. 🌿

A good reminder that this work is collaborative, even on the days it doesn't look like it.

This past Saturday, I walked in the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) walk alongside colleagues from the Minnesota Psychological Association (MPA). It was a small way of showing up for mental health outside the therapy room too.

Advocacy looks like a lot of things. This weekend, it looked like this.
