Fighting the Good Fight Against Daily Stress

​by Jessica Wilkerson, MA, LMFT

​It has officially been a year since our world turned upside down with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.  Layoffs, reduced hours at work, working from home, masks, illness, loss of friends and loved ones, and the constant reminders of it all over the news and social media.  Even if you haven’t suffered directly from the illness, you’ve been affected by it in multiple ways.  It feels as though everyone is working overtime with higher expectations of themselves and it’s wearing us thin.

Anxiety, stress, fatigue, and burnout affect the ways we interact with others and with our inner selves.  The way we beat ourselves up for not being able to navigate life as effectively as we once did is truly toxic.  We hold ourselves to the same standards as we’ve always been able to accomplish, while we're living in a world that has shifted and changed.  Somewhere along the way many people came to the conclusion that inner negativity is a good motivator to achieve their goals, and if they can whip themselves into shape then they’ll be able to achieve their dreams.

College Students and Counseling Therapy

By Jeremy Gregory, MSW, ASW

College Students.  What's up with online therapy?  Is it like coaching?  Is it like venting to someone?  Are you going to make me cry?  How would I even know if I need a therapist?  Maybe I'm just stressed because college is stressful?

I have been providing EMDR through telehealth and I've been seeing amazing results!

Mental Health During COVID-19

By Jessica Wilkerson, LMFT

So many people are feeling helpless and scared right now.  They might still be getting up and going to work, they may be at home social distancing themselves, and they could also be trying to use the time to improve their social lives by having small get-togethers and "taking the risk" (that no one will get someone else infected).  Regardless, there's still this undercurrent of worry.

Office Hours: By Appointment                                            Contact us!
MISSION: To provide a tranquil and healing space in which people in our community can find calmness internally through the relaxing atmosphere along with respectful and engaging therapy conversations.  To contribute to happier and more secure families by helping individuals, couples, and teens heal within and thereby creating different ways of engaging with themselves, the world, and those they love.

VISION: Creating a new kind of therapy experience in the Chico area in which therapists have smaller caseloads, giving them the flexibility to spend more time with clients as needed - longer sessions, phone calls, client centered advocacy.  Creating a space in our community where clients can go between sessions just to sit, linger, and re-center themselves when they're having difficult days.  A place to belong while they heal their hearts and relationships.  A therapy office that embodies the unconditional love of Christ no matter what a person's gender identity, romantic disposition, or previous life hardships, experiences, or actions might have been.  To be a safe place.
