While I feel rooted in knowing myself and understanding where I came from, I am moved by the existence, growth and depth of roots within the landscape of this planet, people and plants, the systemic effect we have on each other and our environment. Grounded Mental Health Care, PLLC uses a grouping of evergreen trees as its logo, each displaying its own uniqueness through outward physical appearance, size and shape, color and density. We are the same but ever complex, as we are designed with a wide range of emotions and lived experiences, the very nature of humanity. We each have the capacity of an evergreen to sustain, despite change, where conditions are not favorable, marked with anxiety, depression or other adverse symptoms of illness. We are like evergreens, which have deep, strong root systems. When we bring awareness and lean into our strengths and strategies, life skills, breathwork, mindfulness, self-care, and develop beliefs that anchor us, we can move forward in our resilience. We continue on!
