#Mindfulness The Art of Being Present.

Let’s reflect. How much time out of the day do you feel out of control, overwhelmed, or stressed? When you feel stressed out- how does stress manifest in you? Do you experience it physiologically- like tightness in your throat, rapid heartbeat, or sweating? What about behaviorally- such as crying or yelling? Then, there’s emotionally- feelings of sadness, depression, anger? Do you experience cognitive shifts like negative thinking patterns? Or maybe you experience a combinati

"Smile, your Epigenetics is Showing"

Did you know that... About 1 in 5 American adults will have a mental health condition in any given year? But only 41 percent of them will receive services? About 10 percent of the American adult population will have a mood disorder, such as depression or bipolar? And 18 percent have an anxiety disorder, including post-traumatic stress disorder? Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common, treatable, and in your genes. Today, my grandmother's gene

Counseling Awareness Month: Emotions + Coaching = Freedom

Emotion moves us and reason guides us. Emotion is a brain phenomenon that is vastly different from thought. It has its own neurochemical and physiological basis and is a unique language in which the brain speaks. The limbic system is responsible for basic emotional processes such as fear (LeDoux, 1996). The emotional brain enhances decision making by rapidly reducing the options that one can consider. Additionally, our different memory systems can sometimes cause problems whe

World Mental Health Day 2015

Dignity in Mental Health Thousands of people with mental health conditions around the world are deprived of their human rights. They are not only discriminated against, stigmatized and marginalized but are also subject to emotional and physical abuse in both mental health facilities and the community. Poor quality care due to a lack of qualified health professionals and dilapidated facilities leads to further violations. The theme for this year’s World Mental Health Day, obse

NCBH “Hill Day 2015” Review

Five years ago, my mother revealed to me that she struggled with clinical depression and was having thoughts of suicide. I was 7 months pregnant at the time with my son and didn’t know how to respond or properly help her. Nevertheless, her honesty planted a seed in me to help find her support and my faith led me on a career changing journey to find my calling in Counseling and Mental Health Advocacy. On October 5 & 6, 2015 I attended the National Council of Behavioral Health

Maternal Wellness & Healing

Moms are the anchors in their households. When a mom isn't well, everyone suffers. Maternal Mental Health disorders impact 15-20% of pregnant women and women in the postpartum period (year after birth), yet most are never diagnosed and treated. By conservative estimates, this means more than 600,000 women in the U.S. suffer each year. These experiences can have lasting consequences on a mother and her family including her infant's cognitive and behavioral development, the wel
