?? Creating a safe space is essential for children dealing with grief. As mental health experts, it’s our job to foster an environment where kids can express their feelings at their own pace. Need ideas for approaching this topic with kids in your life? Listen to our podcast episode for more practical tips. #TherapistTips #Grief #ChildCounseling https://lnkd.in/grJEfUAZ

Today, we're diving into an important topic: how to find the right therapist for YOU! ?? Whether you’re seeking support for mental health issues, personal growth, or just someone to talk to, finding the right fit can make all the difference. 1. Know Your Needs: Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? Understanding your goals will help you narrow down your options. ?? 2. Do Your Research: Look into different therapy types and specialties. For example, some therapists focus on CBT or DBT, while others use modalities like EMDR or Brainspotting. There are so many unique approaches! (Also, psst.. we have a podcast that discusses the differences between these types) 3. Check Credentials: Make sure your potential therapist has experience with your specific concerns. This info is usually available on their professional websites-- and all Ellie therapists have bios on our website, so you can learn more about their approach and credentials. ?? 4. Trust Your Gut: After meeting with a new therapist, pay attention to how you feel. Do you feel heard and safe? If something feels off, it’s okay to keep searching. Finding the right therapist is a journey, and you deserve support that feels right for you. Don’t rush it! ??? #MentalHealth #TherapyJourney #YouDeserveIt #FindYourFit

Every day, we're bombarded with endless information and headlines that can feel overwhelming. It's okay to feel exhausted by it all—you're not alone. ?? Remember to take breaks, unplug when needed, and find moments of peace amidst the chaos. Reach out, talk about it, and prioritize self-care (while also taking "committed action" as our ACT therapists would say). ?? #SelfCare #MentalHealthMatters #UnplugAndRecharge

It can be tempting to "ghost" or ignore our emotions, especially when they feel overwhelming. But the truth is, avoiding our feelings doesn’t make them go away. Instead, it sometimes can even intensify them. ?? Addressing our emotions head-on is crucial for our mental health and well-being. Whether it’s sadness, anxiety, or anger, acknowledging these feelings can lead to healing and growth. Therapy can be a safe and supportive space to explore your emotions without judgment. A therapist can help you unearth the scary stuff that' lurking in the shadows and guide you toward understanding and coping strategies. ???? Remember, it’s okay to seek help, and you don’t have to face your feelings alone. Let’s embrace our emotions and work through them together! ???? #MentalHealthMatters #FeelYourFeelings #TherapyIsHelpful #EmotionalAwareness

In our continued celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, let me introduce Gloria Mendez, Director of Clinical Operations. Gloria holds many titles, but the title that she holds most dear to her heart is Mexican-American. She is proud of her family of origin and the family that she has created. She has learned so many values and traditions from her family, especially her grandparents and great-grandparents. Her mission at Ellie Mental Health-San Antonio is to use her culture to create mental health programming that reaches the large Hispanic population in San Antonio to break the barriers and end the stigma around mental health and therapy. With her phenomenal team beside her, this mission and others for the community will undoubtedly be achieved with the entrepreneurial spirit and determination Gloria inherited from her grandfather. Viva Mexico! Viva San Antonio! Viva Ellie San Antonio! #TeamMendez #TeamMexico #HispanicHeritageMonth #EllieSanAntonio #SanAntonioTX #culture #stigma #mission #elliefam
