What do I mean by that?
Well, we are humans and in our humanity we can tend to make bad choices. In that humanity we can tend to be judgmental. We can easily end up judging ourselves and then subconsciously fear others will judge us with that same standard (or worse). So we bend the truth: 5/1/2023 0 Comments The Fear of Therapy
I get up in the morning, take my shower, drink my coffee, drop my children off to their respective places, and drive into work. I listen to the radio while I drive in, but that's mostly background noise. I think about the people I get to see today. Their stories come back to me and I start wondering how they've been this week based on how they left my office the previous week.
By the time you arrive, I've already started our conversation hours ago, and I'm ready to jump right in. But quite often, I'll catch myself, and I'll try to remember to say the hello first...
10/24/2022 0 Comments Adults & Eye RollingBy Emily Emmerman, MSW, ASW I've noticed that sometimes grown women still engage in eye rolling behavior - but it would make sense since that they do it more whet home with their families. Unfortunately, my partner used to get his fair share of eye rolls, too - not always directed at him though - sometimes it's with the information he presented about others, or about situations we somehow found ourselves in that I then have to take control over and fix.
Just like the teenage eye-roll, one could assume that adult eye-rolls are still a form of both communication, dominance, and aggression (although not as soft as when they were a teenager - because as an adult we should know better). by Jessica Wilkerson, LMFT 104464
Studies have shown that the main driver toward joy is gratitude. In surveying people who describe themselves as happy these studies also see a correlation with thankfulness. But when it feels like life has been throwing you curveballs and like you're out of alignment with where you want to be in life right now, finding that grateful heart can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack and gratitude feels like a generic cliche. 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? 12/18/2020 1 Comment EMDR & TelehealthBy Jessica Wilkerson, MA, LMFT
"Can a person really get any sort of benefit from trying to do EMDR online?" "How will they do it if they can't use the vibrating paddles or wear the headphones?" "This seems sketchy!" I have been providing EMDR through telehealth and I've been seeing amazing results! 12/18/2020 2 Comments Do Online Sessions REALLY help????by Jessica Wilkerson, MA, LMFT
The short answer: Yes! But isn't in-person therapy better? Mehhhhhh... yes and no. 3/16/2020 1 Comment Mental Health During COVID-19By 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. |

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.
