While individual therapy can help to uncover, integrate and even resolve early emotional regulation challenges, group therapy goes further to enlist the nervous system of others for co-regulation, attunement and comfort to express previously internally forbidden emotions. We have found that some of our people with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders can develop healthy emotional regulation, confidence and a sense of ease during periods of stress when they combine individual and group therapy.

When the time and resources came up to redesign the website and logo I found Shaina Longstreet of Dawn & Delight through a referral and, in my opinion, she did a fantastic job of capturing and showcasing Flourish’s essence, values and holistic approach to mental wellness.

Our goal with the website is the same as our goal for mental wellness treatment - we want you to feel seen and heard while also attuning to and nurturing the signals your whole body is sending you.

The number of mindfulness studies have experienced a surge in the last 20 years—in 1999 there was hardly any scientific research in the field.

Mindfulness meditation is now regarded as an effective, evidence-based treatment that can improve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.

Brain imaging research has shown that regularly practicing mindfulness is associated with beneficial changes in the activation of certain parts of the brain.

At Flourish we encourage our people to be mindful of the fats that show up in their food as not all fats are good for your body and brain. For instance, most conventional fats are seed oils and high in Omega 6 fats which can be inflammatory to the brain and body.

The dressing recipe below is an ideal way to incorporate healthy fats into your diet. The dressing is easy to make and delicious! It’s also helpful in eliminating toxic oils like canola, corn, soybeanwhich are found in most store bought dressings.

When we shift our perspective to understanding how worry is fueled by the signals in the body, not the brain, it makes sense that conventional treatments like Xanax or even cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) would not be able to offer sustainable efficacy and relief.

Flourish was founded by a social worker and everyone here, not just social workers, highly values our role as helping those in need. Our company values include no judgment, compassion, kindness, empathy, and integrity, and these values complement our role as helpers to ensure our clients receive objective, judgment-free support and collaboration.

We will continue to do what we do despite the risks inherently posed to us by SB 8.
