“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.”
Glenn Close

Welcome to The In-Between

A reflective space between the outside world and the therapy room—perfect for transitions.

Soft Starts & Still Moments

  • Journal Prompt

    Where am I avoiding truth — with myself or with others — out of fear, guilt, or habit?

    What stories do I tell myself to justify the silence — and are they truly serving me?

    If I approached the conversation with curiosity instead of control, what might shift?

    What would it look like to speak with both courage and care — even just one sentence at a time?

    What part of me is asking to be heard — and what might happen if I finally listened?

  • Drawing Prompt

    The Turning of the Season Within You

    Imagine yourself as part of a living landscape — a tree, a field, a riverbank — moving through the quiet transformation of seasons.

    You are not stuck in one season forever.
    You have known the stretch of summer light, the letting go of autumn, the stillness of winter, the soft awakening of spring.
    And just like the earth, your inner world shifts in cycles — not always on schedule, but always in motion.

    What season are you in right now — emotionally, mentally, spiritually?
    Are you blooming, shedding, resting, or returning?

    If your inner season had a shape, a color, a texture — what would it be?

    Draw or describe that inner landscape.
    Where is change beginning to stir — even if it's beneath the surface?

    What are you being invited to release, to welcome, or to simply notice?

    What does this season need from you — more light? More rest? More patience?

    Remember: no season rushes itself, and each one prepares you for the next.

    The Autumn Shift: Sensing the Season of Letting Go

    Begin by noticing what’s changing — not just in the air, but in you.

    Feel the temperature shift, the angle of the sun softening.
    The light is different now — quieter, lower, golden.
    Take a moment to settle into that glow.

    Imagine yourself outdoors on an early autumn day —
    a breeze brushing past, carrying the scent of dry leaves and distant rain.
    Let your body soften, like a tree loosening its grip.
    Not dropping everything at once — just releasing, slowly, naturally.

    Notice where your breath lands in your body.
    Notice what it feels like to exhale a little deeper — to let something go, even briefly.

    This is the season of release — not because you failed, but because you’ve grown.
    And some things are simply no longer needed.

    Now ask yourself:

    — What part of me is ready to fall away — gently, without force?
    — What am I holding that has already served its purpose?
    — What would it feel like to let go the way leaves do — with quiet trust in what comes next?

    Let yourself rest in this space of transition.
    You don’t need to rush toward new growth.
    You’re allowed to pause here — between the holding and the releasing, between the light and the dark.

    This is the wisdom of autumn:
    To shed with grace.
    To trust the cycle.
    To know that letting go is not an ending, but an opening.

    Let that truth settle in your body.
    Let it be your guide.
