Hey everyone, Monina here! As mental health professionals practicing in the state of Colorado, it is both important and necessary to acknowledge that we reside in the traditional homelands of Indigenous peoples since time immemorial (History Colorado, n.d.),.

I have been fortunate enough to have so many supervisors and mentors who guided me and showed so much kindness as I worked toward gaining my license. As I continue this journey, I have learned some tips and tricks to be sure that you get the most out of your supervision experience.

Calling all teachers, high school students, school health care providers, college students, family members, professors, support staff, and all those impacted by school out there, let's have a conversation about the new school year approaching!

Hi there! My name is Monina Reyes (she/her/hers) and I am so grateful to be able to share this space with you. My love for writing cannot be disentangled from my love for this profession - I unashamedly bring every facet of my life into the therapeutic space. So… who is that, exactly?

Dear Therapist of Color…

First and foremost you are so special. The lived experiences you bring as a professional and as a human transform the lives of your clients every day. Our work is hard and at many times can be draining, but our communities deserve you. As we navigate a world that challenges our existence, you show up each day in the best way you can and for that I say thank you.

As we entered 2023, a goal of mine was to further uplift some of my wonderful consulting colleagues and clients. With this in mind, I decided to begin this spotlight series with Anna Khandrueva! Check out my interview with her below:

The short answer is no, they are completely different skill sets that take practice to develop, just like anything else. Before we go any further, let’s define these two skill sets first!

The Holiday Season can be a busy time of year for many folks! As this season ends, it is so important to remember to check in with ourselves and make sure that we are caring for our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. In doing so, it can be so important to have some strategies in your back pocket that can be helpful during the season.

Are you thinking about how you want to show appreciation to your therapist even though gifts are unethical? If so, here are three ways to show appreciation to your therapist this holiday season!

This first year is such a milestone and feels like celebrating all month long! However, with all the celebration, it is just as important to name the ways that I have learned about myself, my roles as a therapist/consultant, and business ownership!

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog and learn more about me in this post. It is truly a privilege to be able to share my thoughts and to have folks want to read what I have to say. I am so thankful for your interest in what I have to say, and hope you enjoy reading my blog posts!

First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS!! Why, you ask? It is because you are embarking on a new and vulnerable journey! I am so proud of you for even considering sharing a piece of yourself in this way. Your knowledge and experiences are unique. You are the best person to share what YOU are passionate about and you know. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s dive on in!

All over the internet and social media, there is a word you may see pop up. It's CONSULTING.

However, how does one become a consultant? What does one need to know to be a consultant? How does Josie consult? These are all questions I will be answering in this blog post today.

Bride and Business Owner…Ohhh that was rough: Examining how I got through planning two back to back weddings and starting a private practice/consulting business.

This week, Josie discusses burnout; what is it, how to identify when its impacting your life, and how to combat it!

As an individual and as a therapist I realized something so salient on August 7, 2022 (the day after my weddings were over). Getting married changed EVERYTHING.

“…My page is a reminder that the same person can say “son, you’re bugging” as well as “I think there was a miscommunication somewhere” and neither way of saying the same thing changes who we are or where we come from. My platform of quotes and videos is just as random as me…”
