This poem is amazing at describing so much of the work that our clients do with the help of their therapist. Learning about & beginning to set healthy boundaries in your personal life, work, and relationships is not easy but it’s also key to good mental health.

If setting & maintaining healthy boundaries is a struggle for you, we’d love to help you. Reach out today or learn more at www.elliementalhealth.com/pflugerville.

We want to wish everyone a Happy Juneteenth, a day to celebrate Freedom & Diversity. To be honest though, our hearts are still heavy from the tragedy that took place at Round Rock’s Juneteenth Festival this past weekend. We grieve with the families & friends of the two women who lost their lives, pray for those who were injured, and hurt for those who walked away physically safe but are now struggling with the trauma they experienced.

We see every day the transformative power of words. We know that healing is possible, although never quick or easy. We encourage you to express your grief, to support your neighbors however you can, to allow space for those who were there to talk about their experience, and to advocate for change so this kind of tragedy doesn’t happen again.

If YOU need help, please reach out. If you or someone you know needs to talk, our therapists are here for you. If you need additional resources we can’t provide, we’d be happy to try to connect you.

Take care of yourselves,
Ellie Mental Health Pflugerville

Charging into the week, trunk swinging… you got this!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and male role models that we can look up to, learn from, and feel supported by. 🐘

Careful what you say. They might forget how to wipe their butt or to do their homework, but they will NOT forget you said you *might* go get donuts three weekends ago. 😅

Thanks Let Me Start By Saying by Kim Bongiorno for the laugh!

AHHH… To be as kind to ourselves as we are to those around us is not an easy task. At Ellie Pflugerville, this is often one of the goals of therapy — to shed the shame, guilt & pain of your past and to truly embrace who you are now, because self-acceptance & self-love is critical to good mental health.

If this feels impossible to you… We’d love to help. Shoot us a PM to learn more or visit www.elliementalhealth.com/pflugerville to get started.

We’ve all been asked “On a scale of 1-10, how much pain are you in?” before but that’s always been focused on our PHYSICAL pain until … 🥁… NOW!

⬇️ Here’s a wonderful resource for you & any loved ones who struggle with their MENTAL health. Feel free to save & share widely. Let’s make it more common to think of your mental health as important as your physical health. The two are so often interwoven.

Thanks to https://thegracefulpatient.wordpress.com for this scale. Check out the site for lots more info about this scale, including more detailed descriptions of each level.

🧐 If you find this hard to read, shoot us a PM and we’ll send you another format with larger print.

This! Read it and then read it again. And if it makes you a wee bit uncomfortable, read I’d 10 more times. You have value - period. Nothing changes that.

Since 1/5 of adults & 1/3 of teenagers in the US have Anxiety, if we aren't one of those, we definitely know & love someone who does. Want to be a better support system? Here are some signs that might indicate their Anxiety is kicking in.

Start by (1) calming asking if they're starting to feel anxious, (2) let them know they're okay & you're there to support them, then (3) ask if they'd like to try a grounding technique & do it WITH them. Here's a link to a bunch you can try: www.healthline.com/health/grounding-techniques (pro tip - bookmark this link on your phone)
