This is a chance to celebrate everyone who volunteered, donated, partnered, & believed in this vision. It’s also an invitation for anyone curious about joining us as we begin preparing our fall and winter Community Mutual Aid Apothecary.

🍃REMEDIOS: Community Medicine & Mutual Aid making at Patchwork Farms reminded us that medicine is so much more than what’s in the packet 🌿✨

It lives in the conversations shared while blending herbs, the laughter around the table, the hands carefully labeling tea bags, the generosity of volunteers, and the farmers who steward the land that nourishes us all.

Together we created respiratory-supportive teas, herbal electrolytes, shared fresh mullein, and continued building our Community Mutual Aid Apothecary, one remedy at a time.

Now we’re inviting our community to help us finish what we’ve started.

🧠Monday Mental Health: Therapist Spotlight - Charisma Thapa ✨

As a first-generation Nepali-American therapist, our featured therapist Charisma Thapa creates a warm, compassionate environment where clients feel supported, empowered, and deeply understood. Her practice is rooted in the belief that radical healing is possible when we honor our stories, our ancestors, our communities, and ourselves.

Using a holistic, trauma-informed approach, she integrates somatic and mindfulness-based practices including meditation, breathwork, visualization, sound healing, tarot, the Akashic Records, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work. Her work brings together the body, mind, emotions, and spirit to support clients in living in greater alignment with their truest selves.

🧠Monday Mental Health: Therapist Feature: Stephanie Vana✨

Our featured therapist Stephanie believes healing isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about exploring your story together. With training in both art therapy and talk therapy, sessions can be conversation, creative expression, or a blend of both.

Stephanie’s approach blends evidence-based therapy with creativity and curiosity, incorporating mindfulness, art-making, astrology, tarot, reflections on pop culture, and even history to help make sense of the present. She specializes in supporting grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ experiences, multicultural identities, and major life transitions.

🎨 You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy, just open to exploring what creativity can reveal.

✨ If this sounds like the kind of support you’ve been looking for, we’d love to help you connect! Visit the link in our bio to learn more about our therapy partner Living in Empathy Therapy.

🌈 PRIDE MONTH THERAPIST FEATURE 🌈

This month, we’re honored to spotlight our Astro therapist, Celine Khalife, MA, NCC, LPC, whose work is rooted in liberation, empowerment, and radical affirmation.

As a first-generation q***r Arab American therapist, Celine specializes in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC communities, immigrants, and others navigating identity, belonging, and self-discovery. Her approach recognizes that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum, it requires acknowledging the systemic barriers, cultural experiences, and lived realities that shape our lives.

Committed to decolonizing mental health care, she provides LGBTQIA+ affirmative, BIPOC-centered, anti-racist, anti-imperialist, sex-positive, and multicultural therapy that honors the full complexity of each person she works with.

Celine creates a welcoming space where clients can safely explore their emotions, reconnect with their strengths, and transform fear and uncertainty into self-trust and empowerment. Her work reminds us that our emotions are not weaknesses to overcome, but powerful guides and sources of wisdom.

Believing that healing can be both meaningful and joyful, she incorporates creativity, art, music, astrology, pop culture, and other alternative tools to foster authentic connection and make therapy feel more accessible and human.

This Pride Month, we celebrate q***r clinicians who are helping create spaces where people can show up fully as themselves and find healing on their own terms. 💜✨
