✨ Therapist Tip Tuesday from Amanda ✨ First responders deserve therapists who actually get it. Not someone who has read about it. Someone who understands the culture, the weight, and what it costs to do this work every single day. Before you commit to working with a therapist, you are allowed to ask hard questions. In fact Amanda would argue you should. Your mental health is worth that level of care. Reach out through our website to book a free 15 minute consultation with Amanda at Strive CLE Counseling.
Something shifts when you stop proving yourself and just start being a great therapist. Every session builds something that no credential alone can give you and our team at Strive CLE Counseling brings that kind of earned experience to every single client they work with. If you have been hesitant to reach out because you were not sure if therapy was the right fit for you, we promise the right therapist is here waiting. Reach out through our website to get started.
Spooky season has officially arrived at Strive and we love it! Our office is fully decorated and ready to welcome you in for your appointments this fall. We believe your therapy space should feel warm, welcoming, and maybe just a little bit haunted. Come see us this season. We promise the only thing we are digging up is your feelings. Reach out through our website to schedule an appointment with our team at Strive CLE Counseling.
We are officially throwing our hat in the ring and we have some things to say. At Strive CLE Counseling we stand firmly for your right to a safe space, your right to confidentiality, and your right to actually feel better. We will never share your information, we will always show up for you, and we are deeply committed to the protection of your mental health. Paid for by the committee to get more people into therapy. Reach out through our website to cast your vote for feeling better.
✨ Therapist Tip Tuesday from Kenzie ✨ Your outfit might be doing more for your mental health than you realize. What you put on your body can actually shift how you feel from the inside out. It does not have to be a whole new wardrobe or a dramatic change. Sometimes it is one small intentional choice that signals to your brain that today is worth showing up for. Give it a try this week and see how it feels. If you are looking for more ways to support your mental health our team at Strive CLE Counseling is here. Reach out through our website to get started.
Finding the right psychiatric provider is about more than a diagnosis. It is about finding someone who actually takes the time to understand what is going on before deciding how to treat it. Raquel works with patients navigating anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, and more, and because many of these conditions share overlapping symptoms, she believes a thorough evaluation is always the starting point. Her approach is collaborative and patient centered, meaning you will always feel informed and empowered in decisions about your own care. If you have been looking for a psychiatric provider who listens and treats you like a partner in your own health journey, Raquel is accepting new patients at Strive CLE Counseling. Reach out through our website to get scheduled.
If you got into this field to help people and somehow ended up spending half your time fighting with insurance companies to get paid for that help, you are not alone and it should not be this hard. Forest City Billing and Credentialing exists because we have been there and we know exactly how much time and energy the billing side of running a practice can steal from the work that actually matters. Let us take that off your plate so you can get back to your clients.
People are struggling because they can’t afford their rent. Because they can’t afford their medication. Because they asked for help and couldn’t find anyone who took their insurance. Because they had a baby and everyone said congratulations while they were quietly falling apart. Because they were never allowed to be who they actually are. That is not a mindset problem. That is a survival problem. So just as a reminder: 🔹Housing security is suicide prevention. 🔹Food security is suicide prevention. 🔹Affordable healthcare is suicide prevention. 🔹Maternal postpartum care is suicide prevention. 🔹Dismantling toxic masculinity is suicide prevention. 🔹Protecting the rights of the LGBTQQIIA+ community is suicide prevention. If you are struggling right now, please hear this: what you are feeling is real, it is valid, and you are not alone in it. Help exists and you deserve to receive it.
✨ Therapist Tip Tuesday from Skye-Forest Baker ✨ You do not have to change the weather to change how you experience it. When something does not go the way we hoped, our minds can quickly spiral into all or nothing thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy invites us to notice those thoughts without getting pulled into a battle with them. That might look like acknowledging that things did not go as planned while still finding a way to connect with what matters to you, or noticing something small in the moment you might have otherwise missed. The goal isn't to convince yourself you love something you do not. It's to make room for the experience you are actually having while staying open to what the moment still has to offer. If you're looking for support in building that kind of flexibility in your thinking, Skye-Forest is now accepting new clients at Strive CLE Counseling. Reach out through our website to get started.
The way you talk to yourself about your day matters more than most people realize. Shifting from measuring productivity to measuring how regulated you feel while doing the work is one of those small changes that your nervous system actually notices. If you have been running on stress and pressure for so long that calm feels foreign, that is worth paying attention to. Our team at Strive CLE Counseling can help you build a different relationship with the way you move through your day. Reach out through our website to get started.
