Longer answer:

You can bring in…

• Something that happened this week
• A relationship that’s been weighing on you
• A thought you can’t shake
• A pattern you’re noticing
• Or even: “I don’t know what to talk about”

Therapy isn’t about having the right words, it’s about having a place to start.

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons:

• Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
• Navigating life transitions
• Wanting healthier relationships
• Processing past experiences
• Feeling “off” but not sure why

You don’t need a perfect explanation to start, just a willingness to explore.

Mental spring cleaning is an opportunity to prioritize habits that help you feel more grounded, clear, and cared for.

This might include:
• Getting enough sleep
• Spending time outside
• Moving your body
• Setting boundaries
• Making time for connection
• Creating quiet moments in your day

Small, consistent habits can create meaningful change over time.
