Attachment Styles - They're the reason you fight the way you fight, love the way you love, and leave the way you leave.

Dr. Jen's spent 25 years helping people rewrite that story — and wrote the book on it [Roots of Belonging, coming soon!]👌

Founder & Owner of I Choose Change, Gottman Level 3, EFT Therapist, Relationship Guru, and Attachment Extraordinaire, Jennifer Ryan has spent years in the room with couples who thought they were "too far gone." Turns out most of us aren't broken — we're just running on attachment patterns we picked up before we could talk.

Feeling stuck? Sometimes your body has to move before your mind can follow. 🚶‍♀️

Even a 10-minute walk can shift your mood, clear mental fog, and give your brain the reset it needs. Movement isn't just exercise — it's medicine for your mental health.

But small tips are just the start. If you're feeling stuck in a bigger way — in your relationships, your career, your sense of self — that's what counseling is for. Therapy gives you a space to work through what a walk alone can't fix.

Not sure which type of therapy fits your family? Here's how we can help 👇

Every stage of life comes with different challenges — and different kinds of support.

✅️ Couples work isn't about perfect communication, it's about learning to repair.
✅️ Kids process the world differently — play therapy meets them where they are.
✅️ Teens need a space that's theirs, judgment-free.
✅️ Adults deserve care that fits real life, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whatever season you're in, there's a path forward. Save this post for later, or send it to someone who might need it.

Sometimes, “use your words” isn’t enough.
Because children don’t always have the words for what they’re feeling.

Sometimes it comes out as a meltdown.
Sometimes it looks like anger, withdrawal, anxiety, or defiance.
Sometimes it shows up in play.

And sometimes, what looks like “behavior” is actually communication.

Play gives children a different language — one where they can explore feelings, experiences, fears, relationships, and the things they may not yet know how to say out loud.

Our child therapists understand that the goal isn’t simply to make a child “behave better.” It’s to understand what’s underneath the behavior and create a safe space where a child can be heard, understood, and supported.

If your child is having a hard time finding the words, they don’t have to find them all at once.

Sometimes, they just need someone who knows how to listen differently.

Now welcoming new child therapy clients. Reach out to learn more. Schedule today with Amanda Myers, Christina Guess, or Maggie Burleson!

Before the early alarms, the packed lunches, and the "what do you mean you have a project due tomorrow?" — give them one more week to just be a kid.

At I Choose Change's Summer Kid's Camp (August 3–7), your child gets five mornings of games, art, movement, and new — plus a set of life skills they'll carry into that first day of school and beyond.

🧠 Monday — Self-Awareness
🛑 Tuesday — Self-Management
🤔 Wednesday — Responsible Decision Making
👀 Thursday — Social Awareness
🤝 Friday — Relationship Skills

They'll walk into the new school year knowing themselves a little better, handling their emotions a little easier, and making friends a little more confidently.

That's not a bad way to end summer. That's the best way.

📅 August 3–7 | ⏰ 8AM–12PM | 🧒 Ages 5–12 | 💵 $250/week

What do you remember most about summer as a kid? 🌞

Not the toys. Not the trips. The feeling. The experiences. The friendships. The moments that just stuck with you.

That's exactly what we want for your kids this summer — except we're adding something extra.

At I Choose Change's Summer Kid's Camp, your child gets five mornings of fun, connection, and life skills taught by licensed clinicians who know how to make learning feel like another great summer experience.

Each day has a purpose:
🧠 Monday — Self-Awareness
🛑 Tuesday — Self-Management
🤔 Wednesday — Responsible Decision Making
👀 Thursday — Social Awareness
🤝 Friday — Relationship Skills

They'll go home tired, happy, and a little more equipped for life. You'll go home with four quiet hours to yourself. Everybody wins. ☀️

📅 August 3–7
⏰ 8AM–12PM
🧒 Ages 5–12
💵 $250/week
Sibling discount available — limited spots remaining!

Give them a summer they'll still be talking about. 👇

You've tried date nights. You've tried "communicating better." Nothing's really changed.

Here's why: weekly 50-minute sessions don't give you enough runway to get to the root of your pattern — let alone practice a new one.

A Couples Intensive with Dr. Jen is different. In one focused day or weekend, you'll:

✅ Understand the "why" behind your conflict — rooted in attachment history, not just surface arguments
✅ Learn proven frameworks (TEA, CALM, CLEAR) to communicate without escalating
✅ Practice real conversations, live, with Dr. Jen coaching you line-by-line
✅ Leave with a plan - and continued support

Whether you're feeling more like roommates than partners, stuck in a repeating fight, or trying to rebuild trust after a rupture — an intensive gives you momentum, not another month in first gear.

There is still time to join — and we really mean it:

We're running two free LGBTQ+ affirming support groups this summer at I Choose Change, and both have spots available. No cost. No pressure. Just a safe, consistent place to show up as exactly who you are.

🏳️‍🌈 For Teens (Ages 15–17)
A space where LGBTQ+ teens can talk openly about identity, family, friendships, school, and all the hard stuff — with peers who actually get it. No judgment, no lectures, just real connection.
📅 Tuesdays | 6:00–8:00 PM | Started June 2 — still time to join!

🏳️‍🌈 For Young Adults (Ages 18–28)
An open, member-led weekly circle where you bring what's on your mind and talk it through with people your age who understand. No curriculum, no pressure — just a reliable community for the summer.
📅 Fridays | 6:00–8:00 PM | Started June 5 — still time to join!

Both groups meet at 1514 N. Greenville Ave, Suite 310, Allen, TX — and both are completely FREE. Don't wait. 👇
