At R&T, When We Say We Support Marginalized Communities—We Mean It. Last night, Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting had the honor of participating in a powerful community-wide mental health assembly hosted by CCATE - Center for Culture, Art, Training and Education centered on the well-being of the Hispanic/Latinx community—particularly in the face of ongoing political stressors and uncertainty. We joined a panel of passionate mental health professionals and community advocates, coming together to share tangible tools, resources, and strategies to help families navigate fear, anxiety, and the trauma that often comes with living in the margins. The dialogue was honest, courageous, and deeply needed. At R&T, this work is not performative—it is foundational. We show up for communities that have been historically overlooked and underserved—especially immigrant families, mixed-status households, and parents with limited English proficiency. We recognize that healing looks different for everyone, and it must be culturally and contextually grounded. ⸻ About R&T: Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting is a trauma-informed, culturally comprehensive group private practice. Each of our therapists brings a unique area of expertise—from perinatal and parental mental health to anxiety, grief, identity work, and ecotherapy. What unites us is a shared commitment to centering the needs of BIPOC individuals, immigrant families, and those navigating systemic harm. We provide holistic care that honors your story, your culture, and your resilience. Because we believe healing should be accessible, intentional, and deeply rooted in community. Thank you to CCATE and everyone who showed up last night with courage and openness. This is what community care looks like—and at R&T, we’re committed to being part of it. #RandTHealing #LatinxMentalHealth #SupportImmigrantFamilies #TraumaInformedCare #CommunityWellness #CulturallyRootedHealing #WeShowUp

At Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting, we don’t just talk about healing—we embody it. Ecotherapy is woven into both our personal lives and the work we do with clients, because we know that nature has the power to ground, restore, and transform. ✨ For ourselves: We intentionally step outside, taking deep breaths in open spaces, feeling the earth beneath us, and allowing nature to hold space for our emotions. Whether it’s walking mindfully, sitting in stillness under a tree, or simply feeling the warmth of the sun on our skin, these moments reconnect us to something bigger than ourselves. ✨ For our clients: We integrate nature-based practices that align with their healing journey. This may look like guided mindful walks, grounding exercises in natural spaces, or simply encouraging them to step outside and let the elements be part of their healing process. Healing doesn’t have to happen within four walls—nature is a powerful, ever-present therapist. Ecotherapy reminds us that we are interconnected with the earth and that healing is all around us, waiting to be embraced. 🌍💚 How do you connect with nature in your healing journey?

March Mental Health Check-In: Embracing Renewal & Growth March is a season of transition—a bridge between winter’s stillness and spring’s renewal. Just as nature begins to bloom, this is a perfect time to reflect on personal growth, mental wellness, and the ways we nurture ourselves. ☀️ Spring Forward with Self-Compassion: Instead of focusing on where you “should” be, honor where you are. Small steps toward healing, self-care, and inner peace matter just as much as big leaps. 🌿 Declutter Your Mind & Space: Just like spring cleaning clears out physical clutter, consider what emotional or mental burdens you can release. What habits, thoughts, or relationships no longer serve you? 🌱 Plant Seeds of New Intentions: Use this time of renewal to set intentions that align with your values. Whether it’s prioritizing rest, setting boundaries, or trying something new, give yourself permission to grow at your own pace. 🌸 You Deserve to Flourish: If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, this is your reminder: healing is possible, and you are worthy of support. What’s one small way you can embrace growth this month? Share in the comments! Let’s support each other in blooming into our best selves. 💛

Supporting Families Through Grief & Loss 🤍 Yesterday, Jummy had the privilege of teaching a group of new doulas about this deeply important topic. The room was filled with care, love, and an incredible exchange of knowledge. It was inspiring to witness a group so passionate about showing up for their clients, asking thoughtful questions, and ensuring they provide the right kind of support during moments of loss. Jummy shared her own story of loss and the importance of holding space in the right way—an emotional and powerful moment that truly resonated. Thank you to Maternity Care Coalition Berks County for this opportunity. Until next time! ✌🏾 #GriefAndLoss #DoulasSupport #HoldingSpace #CommunityCare #HealingJourney
