To say this weekend of AEDP training was healing is an understatement.

What unfolded was true transformation—being deeply seen, held with compassion, and uplifted through laughter, joy, and tears.

The power of undoing aloneness wasn’t just something we talked about—it was something we felt, embodied, and experienced together.

We grew in connection, deepened our understanding of ourselves, and expanded our clinical skills in ways that will ripple far beyond the training room.

Grateful for this community and the courage it takes to show up fully. 💫

Today, we honor Juneteenth — the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in Galveston, TX learned they were free — over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

This delayed justice is a stark reminder of the enduring legacy of systemic oppression. As clinicians, we see how historical trauma impacts mental health across generations. We remain committed to dismantling barriers to care and addressing the racial inequities that persist in mental health systems.

We recognize that liberation includes access to culturally competent care, safe spaces, and justice.

If you’ve been waiting to begin your healing journey, now is the time.

Therapy is a powerful act of self-care and resistance.
Reach out. We’re here to walk with you.

In Friday’s DEIB meeting, we explored how constant exposure to protest and immigration enforcement coverage can retraumatize and overwhelm, especially for those directly impacted.

We discussed the importance of setting media boundaries, recognizing emotional triggers, and honoring our mental and emotional limits.

Protecting your peace is not avoidance and it doesn’t mean you don’t care. It’s a way to stay engaged and informed without becoming dysregulated.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚 and May 15th marks International Wear Green Day — a day dedicated to raising awareness and reducing the stigma around mental health.

At Stronger Together, we proudly wore green to show our support, spark conversations, and stand in solidarity with those impacted by mental health challenges. Through open dialogue, shared resources, and community events, we’re committed to fostering a culture of empathy, understanding, and support — not just in May, but every day.

We couldn’t be more proud of Dr. Allison Brownlee for her incredible presentation at the IVAT Hawaii Conference this week! 🌺✨

In her talk, “Untangling Trauma in Psychotherapy: Working with the Threads of Challenging Emotions,” Dr. Brownlee offered clinicians a powerful blend of theory, tangible skills, and experiential learning—including a moving clinical clip demonstrating her work with a client navigating complex trauma.

Using the AEDP model, she walked attendees through some of the toughest terrain therapists face: working with survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual trauma, and helping clients move through shame, emotional disconnection, and aloneness with skill and compassion.

A huge thank you to for bringing together such a thoughtful, impactful community of trauma-informed professionals. We’re so honored to be a part of it. 💜

Dr. Allison Brownlee: Featured in Newsweek! 📰✨

We are thrilled to share that Dr. Allison Brownlee has been featured in Newsweek for her exceptional work in building a more connected and compassionate world through personalized care.

At Stronger Together Community Services (STCS), Dr. Brownlee leads with a philosophy that health care should go beyond surface-level treatment. Her personalized approach ensures the root causes of each client’s concerns are addressed with care and precision.

STCS operates from the belief that a strong team is the foundation of meaningful community support. That means prioritizing the mental health and safety of our staff, creating an environment where everyone — staff and clients alike — can thrive. When caregivers feel safe and supported, they can offer deeper empathy, clearer communication, and more impactful care.

As a training and education facility, STCS is shaping the future of mental health and community services — cultivating professionals who lead with heart, knowledge, and integrity.

We’re incredibly proud of Dr. Brownlee and the STCS team. This recognition is a testament to the transformative power of community care done right. 💙
