Have you ever wondered what’s the point of therapy? One way I was able to explain it this year was like this: while in therapy, your world should get bigger and bigger over time, not smaller. Childhood wounds that have held you back in life should begin to heal. People and places that were triggering for you should start to feel less daunting. Self confidence can grow, self esteem can grow. You can learn how to manage big emotions in a healthier way. People who genuinely love you and feel safe to you can become closer where you might’ve held them at a distance. You can start to create boundaries with people who are toxic and unsafe. You begin to realize what you really love and who you really are, not just what expectations were put on you. All of these things can open up new opportunities and experiences for you. If you feel stuck, if your world keeps getting smaller and the same patterns of behavior are there after many sessions, you might not be getting the therapy you need. That doesn’t always mean it’s a bad therapist, might not be the right fit for you though. As always, if you have questions about the therapy process, please message and I’ll be happy to help answer them!

I want to say a big thank you to our community (and even a few from out of town) for supporting the walk and glow ball tournament in order to raise awareness for su***de prevention last night. I also wanted to give you a brief summary of some stats since I have moved here May of 2018. I have seen 102 adults, 62 students (about 10 of those have stayed with me as adults), and 27 couples/families. There have been approximately 32 su***de attempts and after receiving therapy services there have been no second attempts.

The first couple of years I worked for The Village. About 5 people had to quit therapy due to lack of insurance coverage and not being able to afford the fees. I then started donating about $5,000 per year in pro bono work. That led us to purchase the building on Main Street, renovate it, and create a 501C3 non profit organization that you all know as Mosaic Wellness Center. The purpose of the fundraisers we do are to provide scholarships to those who either have extremely high deductibles, copays, or no insurance at all. I now work for an agency out of Grand Forks called Assessment and Therapy Associates of Grand Forks. That means 99% of all funds received by our nonprofit go directly to our community members needing therapy. To date we have been able to grant nearly $30,000! As long as we can keep the donations coming in no one will ever have to quit therapy due to financial barriers.

If you were not able to participate in fundraisers but would like to donate, you can do so on our website (mosaicwellnesscenter.org) under the “help” section. Or if you prefer to stop by the building in person that would be great too!

Choose to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness: it is a process of change and growth towards a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle.

Please join us to raise funds for those in need of mental health services!

💜💙 One night. Two events. One community showing up for mental health.

This Saturday, September 19, we have two meaningful opportunities to come together, raise awareness, and support mental health right here in our community.

👟 Start the evening at the Out of the Darkness Walk
📍 Centennial Park
🕢 7:30 PM

Come walk with us as we remember those we’ve lost, support those who are struggling, and remind one another that no one has to walk through the darkness alone.

⛳ Then, keep the evening going at Light the Darkness – Charity Glow Ball Golf Tournament at Peaceful Valley Golf Course!

Registration begins at 8:30 PM with a 9:00 PM tee off. Proceeds will help make mental health care services accessible to individuals and families facing financial barriers.

You can participate in one event or make a night of it and join us for both. We would love to see our community show up in a BIG way. 💜💙

Awareness matters. Support matters. Showing up for each other matters. Together, we can help light the way. ✨

I have a few fun research projects I’m doing with clients this year. Here’s the first one: if you believe in soulmate love, how do you define it? If you don’t want to post publicly, we’d still love a private message.

Whenever I find a holistic option that works great for mental health, I try to put the word out. Before this supplement I couldn’t find something to ease anxiety that didn’t also make me sleepy. I’ve been using this off and on for over a month, my kids have used it, and now clients are trying it. I got mine from Costco, but you can get it many places.

Ashwagandha: A Small Herb with Big Benefits

If you’ve been feeling stressed, tired, or just a bit “off,” ashwagandha might be worth looking into. This adaptogenic herb has been shown to:

• Reduce stress and cortisol
• Improve sleep quality
• Support mood and emotional balance
• Boost energy and focus
• Strengthen immune function

It’s gentle, natural, and has been used for centuries. If you’re looking for a simple addition to your wellness routine, this might be a game-changer.

Big shoutout to those who came to light up the darkness tonight! It was a beautiful evening and a great way to remember those we’ve lost, but also to remember to check in with your loved ones. Everyone goes through hard times, we just don’t have to do it alone.

Unfortunately, the golf tournament won’t work out tomorrow due to weather. But, we’re still planning on the 5k! Here’s the route, looking forward to seeing you there!

There is something in the grief world called disenfranchised grief. This is when your grieving doesn't fit in with your larger society's attitude about dealing with death and loss. The perfect example is how our society rallies around cancer survivors and families fighting that terrible disease, or mourns together when that fight is lost. While progress has been made lately, mental illness and addiction battles do not usually get the same coverage, openness, or support. There is still an element of stigma that prevents us from being open about this fight and some perceived societal shame that comes with losing someone this way. But, in the words of Bob Dylan, "Times, they are a changing". To keep pushing this forward, Nicole and I are excited to announce that we have some of the laser-engraved bricks reserved for any survivors who want to forever memorialize their loved ones lost to this battle. If you are willing to cover half of the cost we will cover the other half. Just a reminder these bricks are going at the base of the patio at the new clubhouse. This means they will see the names every time someone goes in or out of the clubhouse to the course. We want them never to be forgotten, we want conversations to be had, and we want this stigma removed. Contact Jonathan Franklin at 530-209-8191 for more details.
