A Testimony. Shared with permission.

There’s something so powerful about watching a child go from fear and anxiety to confidence and freedom. ❤️

A year ago, storm clouds would have brought fear and anxiety. After working through EMDR therapy for PTSD, she has learned tools to understand her fear, prepare herself, and respond differently.

This week, when the clouds rolled in, she asked questions, prepared herself, and was able to enjoy her time fishing! 🎣

That’s what healing can look like. Fear doesn’t have to disappear completely for it to stop making all the decisions. 💙

We’re so grateful to be part of stories like this and so proud of this sweet girl!

If your child—or you—are struggling with trauma, EMDR may be an effective treatment option. Our therapists at ANew Mental Health are here to help.

Because people matter. 💙

Provider Spotlight | Lucas Shyrock, LPC

Lucas believes that relationships are at the heart of what it means to be human. We all experience moments of rupture, hurt, and disconnection, but he also believes our stories don’t have to stay there. With intentionality and support, there can be healing, restoration, and healthier connection.

Lucas works with both adults and youth, with a particular passion for walking alongside married men struggling with po*******hy and s*x addiction, as well as individuals facing alcohol and other substance use.

His experience as a former youth pastor has shaped the way he connects with people—meeting them where they are, listening to their story, and creating a space where they can work toward meaningful change.

Lucas uses approaches including CBT, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy, tailoring treatment to the person sitting in front of him.

His goal isn't simply to help you get through a difficult season. It's to walk alongside you as you work toward healing and emotional health.

We’re grateful to have Lucas at ANew and excited for the individuals and families he’ll have the opportunity to serve.

Lucas is currently credentialed with BCBS, with a self pay rate and additional insurance plans coming soon.

If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion, honesty, and genuine care, Lucas would be honored to walk alongside you.

If stress has been building lately, here’s something gentle to try:

The “5–4–3–2–1” grounding exercise.

It can help bring your mind out of overwhelm and back into the present moment.

Pause and notice:
• 5 things you can see
• 4 things you can feel
• 3 things you can hear
• 2 things you can smell
• 1 thing you can taste

There’s no need to rush it.

This isn’t about doing it perfectly — it’s about giving your mind and body a moment to slow down.

Stress pulls us into everything that *might* happen.
Grounding brings us back to what’s actually here.

Small moments like this can make a meaningful difference over time.
