We’re happy to welcome Jessica Goins, LAC, to BrainBody Wellness! 🤍

Jess supports children ages 10+, teens, and adults navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and life changes.

Using CBT and DBT, she helps clients understand their patterns and build coping skills for everyday life—including those moments when you know what you want to do, but getting there feels hard.

You don’t need a perfectly organized explanation to begin. “I don’t know where to start” works, too.

📍 In person in Scottsdale + online across Arizona.

“I can handle it” is getting exhausting, isn’t it?

Especially when handling it takes most of the energy you have.

Maybe you’ve put off getting help because you’re still functioning. But you’re allowed to want more than making it through the day.

OCD counseling can give you a place to talk honestly about what’s been hard and work toward the things you want more room for.

This OCD Awareness Week, start with a conversation. 🤍 Request a free 10-minute phone consult at BrainBodyOCDCounseling.com.

Ever leave out who you love to feel safe?

“My partner” becomes “my friend.”
You leave out the sweetest part of your weekend.
You wish you could simply share your happiness without weighing the consequences.

If you’ve done this, we want you to know: choosing privacy doesn’t make your love less meaningful or your identity less real. You deserve kindness without having to explain yourself first. 🤍

For National Coming Out Day, we’re thinking of you—the person celebrating, the person telling one trusted friend, and the person who needs more time.

At BrainBody Wellness Counseling, there’s room to talk about what these moments feel like, what you’re hoping for, and what you need. You don’t have to arrive with the answers.

Anyone else turn rest into a negotiation? 🙃

“After I finish this.”
“Once everyone’s taken care of.”
“If I get enough done first.”

And somehow, the finish line keeps moving.

You’re allowed to leave something unfinished tonight. You don’t have to present a completed checklist to deserve a moment to yourself. 🫶

Mental Illness Awareness Week may be ending, but let’s keep questioning the rules that make caring for ourselves feel selfish.

FOLLOW us if this conversation feels familiar. 🤍

Ever opened up to someone, then spent the rest of the day wishing you hadn’t? 🤍

It takes a lot to say, “I’m having a hard time.” And when the response leaves you feeling misunderstood, it can make opening up again feel harder. You deserve space to talk without rehearsing, apologizing, or making everything sound less heavy.

So hi if you’re new here. And if you’ve been quietly following while figuring out your next step, we’re glad you’re here. 🫶
