🌿 Daily journaling is a powerful therapeutic tool used to externalize thoughts, providing the emotional distance needed to process feelings, regulate the nervous system, and break cycles of rumination. 🌿

5-minute journaling is a highly effective, low-barrier tool. There is no “right” way to journal, and it doesn’t take much time.

New Blog Post! Boundaries Without Guilt: Why It Feels So Hard (and How to Start Anyway)

If you’ve ever set a boundary and immediately felt guilty, anxious, or worried about how it would be received, you’re not alone. Boundaries are often misunderstood as rejection or conflict, when in reality, they are a form of clarity and self-respect.

At BrightSpire Health, we see how difficult it can be to balance caring for others while also caring for yourself. Learning to set boundaries without guilt isn’t about becoming rigid—it’s about creating space for healthier, more sustainable relationships.

New Blog Post! When Overthinking Takes Over

Most people experience moments of overthinking. You may replay conversations in your head, analyze every possible outcome, or worry about making the wrong decision. At first, it can feel like you’re simply trying to solve a problem or prepare for what might happen. But when overthinking becomes a habit, it can create more stress instead of clarity. Thoughts begin to loop, doubts grow louder, and the mind struggles to find rest.

At BrightSpire Health, we often remind clients that overthinking is not a personal flaw. In many cases, it’s the mind’s attempt to protect you from uncertainty or potential mistakes.

Provider Spotlight! Katie Avery, LMFT

“I believe you already have the strength and wisdom you need to create change. Therapy is a space to reconnect with those parts of yourself, to slow down, and to make sense of what’s been hard. I focus on building a genuine, trusting relationship where you can be your authentic self—no judgment, no pressure. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

My specialties include anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, bipolar disorder, childhood emotional neglect, relationship and family challenges, perfectionism and over-functioning, people-pleasing patterns, and self-worth struggles. I’m also LGBTQIA2S+ and poly/kink affirming, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures.“

New Blog Post! ADHD in Children and Teens: Recognizing the Signs and Supporting Your Child

Many children and teens have moments when they feel restless, distracted, or forgetful. Growing up involves learning how to manage attention, emotions, and responsibilities. However, for some young people, these challenges are more persistent and begin to affect school, relationships, and daily life.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain manages attention, impulse control, and activity levels. Because of this, children with ADHD are not choosing to be distracted or impulsive—their brains simply process focus and behavior differently.

At BrightSpire Health, we believe that understanding ADHD—and responding with patience and compassion—can help children feel supported as they learn the skills they need to succeed.

🌿 Therapeutic progress is rarely linear and often occurs “beneath the surface” long before it results in external changes. Growth often looks like changing how you view yourself, gaining self-awareness, or recognizing old patterns rather than immediate, drastic life changes. 🌿
