Andrew M. Shaw, MEd, LCMHC, NCCPsychotherapist All over the world, LGBTQIA+ communities celebrate Pride. From big cities to small towns, gatherings take place throughout the year. This year, we’ll be celebrating Pride in Winston Salem on June 13, 2026. I’ll be there with Banyan Tree Counseling & Wellness, our table alongside so many other local organizations, businesses, artists, advocates, and performers. Our team at Banyan Tree is committed to queer- and trans-affirming mental health care, and I’m so happy to be attending Pride this year with them!  As part of the community myself, I know that we come to Pride for different reasons. I’ll be going to Pride to celebrate with my Banyan Tree Counseling colleagues. But I’ll also be going to Pride because I know what it’s like to be afraid to come out. I’ll be going to Pride because I remember how rare it once was to see pride flags on local businesses. (And it still brings joy to see them!) I’ll be going to Pride because I enjoy pop music, drag performances, and kitschy t-shirts with bawdy puns. But most of all, I’ll be going to Pride because—regardless of the challenges we face—it is vital to have time and space to celebrate our joy, creativity, compassion, and love. The pain, struggles, and grief we experience are all too real. Pride does not need us to deny these realities. But Pride also invites us to dance, sing, connect, and celebrate. Pride reminds us that life is beautiful. Wishing you a very happy Pride!

Kyra Willeford, MSW, LCSWAPsychotherapist It’s almost that time of year! When the bell rings and school’s out for the summer. Do you notice changes in your child’s behavior during summer break? That feeling of excitement turned into summer chaos? Children become used to structured and defined schedules during the school year, which can make a more relaxed schedule difficult to transition into. Any transition or change can be an adjustment for children and families. Here are some tips for a healthy transition into a more relaxed time of the year: Settling in Allow some time for your child to settle into their new routine. Abrupt changes in routine can affect mental health in children with symptoms such as increased anxiety, which can be expressed through increased irritability and outbursts. So, how can you assist your child through this? Maintain rules and boundaries During the summer, it is easy to fall into a more relaxed and laid-back routine. It is important to stay consistent with rules and boundaries of the household, holding expectations of children consistent. Clear guidelines help children to be successful. What is expected of them on a daily basis? When can they go outside and play with their friends? Having a set of expectations and rules to follow allows the child to feel in control of their routine, decreasing feelings of anxiety, therefore decreasing behavioral outbursts. Getting children involved in the making of these rules and routines can also assist with helping them to feel in control. This can be done through creating a visual schedule together, also allowing them to flex their creative muscles! Bedtime Having a set bedtime for children throughout the summer is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and keeping in tune with a consistent schedule. Sleep is one of the most important factors in having a successful day, and setting a set time for sleep each night can assist with this. Now, don’t get me wrong, those late nights happen in the summer whether you're sitting around a campfire, watching a movie as a family, or are on a summer trip! Enjoy the summer while it’s here! Keeping an active mind Of course during the summer, most children are thrilled to have a break from school work and homework. Keeping their minds active and stimulated can assist with having a successful day at home. Good news: they don’t need to know that they’re putting their brains to work. This can be achieved through activities such as building blocks, leggos, puzzles, coloring books, and more! Physical activity Staying active and decreasing electronic isolation can assist with children’s mood and behavior. Whether it’s a family walk around the block, a game of catch, or a bike ride with friends, implementing daily physical activity throughout the summer can assist with a smooth transition as well.  Utilizing these tips and maintaining structure and consistency, can assist with setting you and your family up for a successful summer transition!
Tess Job, MA, LCMHCPsychotherapist In the wake of the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, I recognize that this day is just as important as it has been in years past. While the Supreme Court has legalized gay marriage in all 50 states, ten years later, the same court has legalized conversion therapy in all 50 states. The conflicting messages and whiplash for the queer community cannot be understated. These drastic anti-LGBTQ+ measures are not limited to the United States. According to the Human Rights Watch, as of early 2026, “at least 67 countries have national laws criminalizing same-sex relations between consenting adults. In addition, at least nine countries have national laws criminalizing forms of gender expression that target transgender and gender nonconforming people.” As we all know, queer people have existed throughout history and have created communities for themselves wherever they were, and we will continue to exist and create communities. We, as a community, continue to find joy in each other, lift up each other, and support each other. We celebrate each other's wins and losses, and we've learned that community is resistance.  My move from Charlotte to Winston-Salem in 2023 illustrates this need for community. Winston-Salem has a thriving queer community and also has an organization that helps create a landing spot for the intersecting identities within the local queer community. North Star LGBTQ+ Community Center is a wonderful organization that supports the Winston-Salem community’s queer folk, and it offers several different types of groups and events that cater to different parts of the queer community, as well as the varied interests in the queer community. North Star is very dear to my heart, and as a therapist, I encourage my queer clients who are seeking a community to start there! Part of creating a community is being able to connect with people who have shared interests, identities, and even struggles. At North Star, I felt connection and acceptance in a way I hadn’t before. When we give people the space and opportunity to be authentically themselves, it encourages others to do the same. I know it did for me!
Larisa King, MSN, PMHNP-BCPsychiatric Nurse Practitioner Women are beautifully complex. Throughout our lives, our bodies move through a series of hormonal transitions that influence how we feel, think, rest, and function. Yet many women are never taught how deeply these shifts affect emotional wellbeing. For Women’s Health Week, I want to shine a light on what’s happening beneath the surface. Because if you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I feel this way?” the answer is often that your hormones are speaking—and you deserve to understand their language. Puberty marks the first major shift. It’s not just physical development; it’s a neurological remodel. As estrogen and progesterone rise, many girls experience mood swings, increased sensitivity, emotional reactivity, and changes in sleep. This is also when anxiety or depression may first appear—not as a sign of weakness or personal failure, but as the natural result of a brain undergoing rapid growth while hormones surge and settle. Offering young girls empathy, open conversations, and supportive community creates a foundation of emotional safety that stays with them into adulthood. Pregnancy brings another profound transition. Hormone levels rise higher than at any other time in life, which can create emotional sensitivity, increased worry, vivid dreams, and shifts in focus. For some women, pregnancy feels grounding; for others, it’s overwhelming or destabilizing. Both experiences are valid. Pregnancy affects every woman differently, and the most important thing is feeling supported, informed, and free to talk about what you’re experiencing—without fear of judgment. The postpartum period is one of the most intense hormonal transitions a woman can face. Immediately after birth, estrogen and progesterone drop rapidly, while a mother is also adjusting to profound physical recovery, feeding demands, identity changes, and—perhaps most difficult of all—sleep deprivation. Many mothers experience tearfulness, mood swings, irritability, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or brain fog. While “baby blues” usually pass within a couple of weeks, ongoing distress may signal postpartum depression, anxiety, or OCD—very real, very treatable conditions that deserve compassion and support, not silence or shame. Perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause, can feel like puberty in reverse. Hormones don’t simply decline; they fluctuate widely before settling, and those fluctuations can trigger anxiety, irritability, sudden mood shifts, sleep problems, emotional overwhelm, and cognitive fog that leaves many women saying, “I don’t feel like myself.” These experiences are real and often under-recognized. Women deserve validation, information, and supportive care during this season rather than being told it’s “just stress” or something to simply push through. Menopause itself marks twelve months without a menstrual cycle and a shift into a new hormonal baseline. Some women feel a sense of calm and clarity as moods stabilize. Others experience emotional changes, anxiety, sleep disruptions, shifts in libido, or a sense of loss. Like every stage of womanhood, menopause is not an ending but an evolution-- one that can bring renewed purpose when women feel informed and supported.  One of the most beautiful truths about these transitions is that women were never meant to move through them alone. Historically, women gathered, shared stories, and supported one another through every season of life. Today, in a world that asks so much of us, these circles of connection are more important than ever. When women share their experiences, something powerful happens: we feel seen rather than misunderstood, validated rather than dismissed, and connected rather than isolated. We recognize that our emotional experiences are human, not flaws. We rediscover strength we didn’t realize we had. Community creates healing; hormones may influence how we feel, but sisterhood influences how we heal. As we talk openly about these hormonal shifts, it’s also important to acknowledge that for some women, emotional symptoms interfere with daily life in ways that deserve additional support. Psychiatric medication management can be a helpful, compassionate tool—not a last resort or sign of failure. When symptoms such as persistent anxiety, depression, panic, intrusive thoughts, irritability, or significant mood swings begin to affect work, relationships, sleep, or overall quality of life, a medication evaluation can create real relief. Some women benefit from antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications, others from targeted sleep supports or mood stabilizers, and some from a collaborative approach that includes hormonal treatment with their OBGYN. Pregnancy and breastfeeding deserve special consideration, but many medications are safe, and for some women, staying on or beginning treatment may support a healthier pregnancy or postpartum experience. Medication is never the whole story—it’s simply one tool that can help a woman feel more like herself so she can fully participate in her life. Your body is wise. Your emotions are valid. And your journey through hormonal change is part of what makes you resilient and deeply human. Whether you’re guiding a teenager through puberty, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, wrestling with perimenopause, or stepping into the transition of menopause, you deserve care, community, and compassion. If you ever wonder whether therapy, medication, or evaluation might help, reach out. You are not alone—and you never have to walk these changes by yourself. When women support each other, we don’t just survive these transitions. We thrive.
Yubi Aranda Sandoval, MS, LCMHCA, NCCPsychotherapist Couples therapy is one of my favorite types of therapy sessions. Some therapists choose not to do couples therapy due to the complexity of working simultaneously with two individuals who are navigating distress in their relationship. I have to admit—it isn’t easy. However, when we take a moment to slow the session down, we often begin to uncover something important. Many times, the couple is caught in a cycle that has been gradually developing over time. At first, the disagreements may seem small—misunderstandings about communication, differences in expectations, or moments when one partner feels unheard. But over time, these small moments can accumulate. Before long, small disagreements grow into larger arguments, resentment begins to build, patience wears thin, and one partner’s defensiveness can start to sound like an attempt to “win” rather than understand the other. What is fascinating about couples therapy is that the conflict we see in the room is often just the surface of something deeper. Beneath the frustration, anger, or distance, there are usually unmet needs, fears, and vulnerabilities. One partner may be longing to feel appreciated or prioritized. The other may be feeling criticized or inadequate. When these emotions go unspoken or misunderstood, couples often fall into patterns of blame, withdrawal, or defensiveness. These patterns are what therapists often refer to as cycles. One partner might pursue conversation while the other shuts down. The more one pushes, the more the other retreats. Over time, both partners begin to feel alone in the relationship, even though they may deeply care about one another. In these moments, the goal of couples therapy is not to determine who is right or wrong. Instead, the work focuses on helping the couple recognize the pattern they are caught in and understand how both partners are affected by it.  Slowing the conversation down is one of the most powerful tools in couples therapy. When couples are arguing at home, discussions can escalate quickly. Voices get louder, assumptions are made, and the original concern becomes buried beneath layers of hurt feelings. In therapy, we intentionally slow things down so that each partner has space to speak and, just as importantly, to be heard. Often, when one partner finally feels understood, the intensity of the conflict begins to soften. Another important part of couples therapy is helping partners shift from defending themselves to becoming curious about each other. Instead of reacting with “You always…” or “You never…,” couples can begin asking questions like, “What did that moment feel like for you?” or “What were you hoping for from me in that situation?” These small shifts in communication can open the door to empathy and reconnection. One of the most hopeful aspects of couples therapy is witnessing how quickly change can happen when partners begin to understand each other differently. When couples start to see the cycle they are caught in, they often realize that the problem is not necessarily each other—it is the pattern they have both been pulled into. This realization can create a sense of teamwork rather than opposition. Couples therapy is not about creating a “perfect” relationship. Every relationship will experience conflict, stress, and moments of disconnection. The goal is to help couples develop healthier ways of navigating those moments so that conflict becomes an opportunity for growth rather than a source of ongoing pain. Despite the challenges, couples therapy remains one of the most meaningful types of work I do. There is something powerful about watching two people move from frustration and misunderstanding toward empathy, clarity, and renewed connection. When couples begin to feel seen and heard again, the relationship often starts to feel like a place of safety rather than struggle.
Gail Herbert, MS, LPC, LCMHCAPsychotherapist When my boys were little, if one was crying, and I met them with “Stop crying, it wasn’t that bad,” they would sniffle and the painful feeling would be extended. If I instead met them with, “It hurts doesn’t it?” and rubbing their back, they would finish crying and return to playing. If I slowed and took my time with gentleness and comfort, the feeling moved along. If not, it seemed to get stuck. Moments like these have shaped how I understand what it really means to heal. What is healing? I believe it is integration of the parts of a person. Dr. Dan Siegel says: “harmony [unfolds] with the five features of FACES flow: Flexible, adaptive, coherent (holding together dynamically over time), energized, and stable.” To be able to be flexible and adaptive to circumstances, to be coherent in thought, and to feel energized and stable in emotion, is to be able to flow with the ups and downs of life. When healing is a goal–if you feel like something has shattered within–then slowing down is important, even if you want it to happen quickly. This can be frustrating, I know! But remember that healing happens continuously on a path. It is not a final destination that happens suddenly. And if you feel as though you have shattered, those pieces can be put together any way you want them to be. You can rebuild yourself into who you want to be.  So how does a person “slow down” emotionally? It means spending time with emotion. This does not mean sinking down into a pit of sadness. Rather, it means noticing feelings with curiosity and without judgment. A person may do this in meditation, while being creative, while walking or showering, any way that helps you feel emotion. It is critical to meet the emotion with curiosity and not judgment. For example, if I feel sad, I feel uncomfortable. I might close my eyes to tune into my body. Then I might notice I feel a little bit of fear in my stomach. Rather than trying to push it away with thoughts such as “You should not be feeling this way” or “Just get over it!” instead I might notice those thoughts and think “I wonder what is making me feel afraid?” Or I might picture myself as a child or friend. I might imagine giving that person a hug or being nurturing. If I can learn to treat myself as I treated my boys, with slowness and nurturing kindness, healing will move along more quickly than with harsh criticism of myself. Give it a try. Let yourself feel emotion. This is where healing begins.
Sharon A. Findlay, MSDirector of Human Resources & Administration "Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being." ― Victor Hugo If you’re thinking, Wait—trees? Isn’t this blog usually about mental health? The answer is yes… and also, we really love trees. Before I go any further, a quick history lesson: The year is 1872, and journalist J. Sterling Morton is struck by how barren the plains of his home state of Nebraska appear. As a nature-lover, he proposes a mass tree-planting event and the seeds for what we now know as Arbor Day are planted (multiple puns intended)! This brief peek into the past reveals more than you might expect. Why was it so important to cover the plains with trees? What else was happening at the time? Pioneers were still settling the area, and without trees on the Great Plains, the soil was at the mercy of the wind. The land couldn’t be worked effectively for farming, limiting settlers’ ability to survive and thrive. Trees and their stabilizing root systems weren’t just a want they were a necessity. And that’s what roots are: a necessity. They hold things together. They provide nourishment. They protect stability. They are life-giving and life-sustaining. Banyan trees, in particular, are known for their impressive root systems. They grow “prop roots” that begin high in the branches and extend downward toward the ground. Once these roots take hold, they form new trunks and root systems of their own. This unusual process allows banyan trees to grow outward in a nearly indefinite fashion, making them exceptionally strong and resilient. It’s hard not to see how this mirrors our inner lives. So let’s take this metaphor inward for a moment: What are your “roots”? Not necessarily where you came from, but what grounds you, protects you, and gives you life. And what happens when those roots become ungrounded? Imagine a banyan tree with multiple trunk and root systems. If one of those systems is damaged or removed, the tree can become unbalanced—more vulnerable to wind, water, or other forces that might uproot it.  Humans are much the same. Often, it isn’t just one thing that leads someone toward healing and inner work. Sometimes it is—but more often, it’s a collection of experiences, stressors, or losses that gradually create a sense that something is out of balance. That’s where the beauty of therapy comes into play. You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy can offer extra roots, extra shade, and extra support during a season when you need it most. It’s part of why our founder named the practice Banyan Tree Counseling. This Arbor Day, I hope you’ll think of lots of things, including trees. I hope you’ll notice the beauty around you, thank the roots that sustain you, honor the roots that need more support—and maybe even smile at a tree.
Emily Ortiz Badalamente, MA, LCMHC, ATR-BCPsychotherapist As an art therapist, I often get the pleasure of hearing about people’s relationship with the word “art.” Some people talk to me about their favorite kind of art or craft. Others tell me about their favorite art projects from school. I hear about favorite museums, wine and paint nights with friends, or experiences like knitting that feel therapeutic and peaceful. It’s one of my favorite topics to discuss with others. Often, I also hear people say “I’m not good at art.” I hear about how much people loved art class in childhood, but felt discouraged by grades. Or how they try to be creative, but perfectionism gets in the way. For all those who have a positive relationship with art, I meet just as many people who feel that art and creativity are out of reach. This saddens me, because art and creativity can make us happier and healthier - no matter how “good” we are! A 2016 study showed that short artmaking experiences led to lowered cortisol levels, suggesting lowered stress. This was true regardless of type of artmaking, or if the person had any previous art experience (Kamail et al., 2016). Other studies suggest that enjoying art is linked to higher levels of wellbeing and happiness, as well as potential for lowered hypertension and inflammation (Lee et al., 2024). This is obviously great for those who enjoy artmaking, or like being around art. But what about those who feel intimidated or bored by art? Because I am an art therapist, you can probably predict what I’m going to say… Art is for everyone! Creativity is for everyone, and everyone is creative in their own way. I know that the “classic” ways of being creative, like drawing or painting, can often feel intimidating. Because of this, I like to encourage people to pay attention to creativity that already exists in our everyday lives. Some examples of this are:
When we start to notice where creativity already exists in our lives, we can start to nurture it, and take it even further! If you’re interested in art and creativity, but are maybe unsure of where to start, here are a few ideas:
Whether you are interested in making art, or just appreciating it, I encourage you to nurture your own connection with creativity. It can be a great way to better know yourself, learn new skills, or challenge your worldview. And you might just find ways to feel happier and healthier along the way!  If you’re interested in going further, and would like to explore how creativity can help you work on your mental health and wellbeing goals, consider working with an art therapist or creative arts therapist.

Leslie "Les" Gura, LCMHC, NCC, CCTPPsychotherapist The spring equinox represents the passing of season, from the harshness of winter’s cold and early darkness to the brightness of warmer temperatures and longer days. Many people welcome this time of year with joy in their eyes and a spring (so to speak) in their step. But it’s rarely that simple, is it? Some people are sad to say goodbye to winter. I’m one of them. It’s not that I love the cold or snow – although the storm that dumped 6 inches on us the last day of January was the most beautiful in my 23 years in North Carolina. It’s just that this time of year reminds me of two difficult dates in my life. My dog, Nilla, the most gentle, perfect canine ever, died on March 17, 2023. Thanks to social media, I am reminded of that day constantly this time of year. And April 2 will mark what would have been my father’s 106th birthday. My best friend and most important influence has been gone for nearly 44 years. In other words, when I think about the onset of spring, my mind goes to those two huge losses. My throat is tightening as I write this blog. The thing is, treating grief is an essential part of counseling. And my lived experience informs and strengthens my work with clients who are grieving. Some don’t even know it because grief, though centered on loss, is not always about death. Often, I will gently point out to clients that their anxiety or depression over losing a job or breaking up with a partner is actually the way they are experiencing grief. Regardless of the type of grief, how do you recognize it? Here are a handful of ways:
And how do we learn to manage grief’s symptoms? It starts with recognizing a loss, because once we accept we have suffered one, we can begin to grieve it more openly. My father’s death in 1982 was shattering because it came out of the blue; he had appeared at age 62 in the best shape of his life. I was just 22 and didn’t know how to shed tears, much less grieve. It took seven years, when the 1989 movie Field of Dreams was released, before I grieved my dad’s death. At the end of the movie, Kevin Costner’s Ray Kinsella turns around in the twilight to see his father emerge from the cornfield and they get to play catch. In the darkened theater, my throat caught. I could barely breathe. And, oh, I felt hot tears rolling down my cheeks more quickly than I could wipe them away. My wife noticed. And for the first time, I was able to share the pain of my dad’s death with another person. Flash forward 34 years and grieving came easily, but no less painfully, when I recognized my dog, Nilla, was in decline. In October 2022, I chose to get ahead of the grief to come by through a series of daily social media posts honoring Nilla, sharing fun, nostalgic and poignant pics of my 14-year-old dog. Then, after she died, I let the immediate pain subside and eventually blogged about knowing when and how to make that awful, merciful decision about a beloved pet.  There are many ways to manage grief. Here are a few ideas:
Remember, if you find your throat tightening or eyes welling this season, let the tears flow. More than anything, grief is a process that, like the seasons, can be hard to predict.
Brittany Proxmire, MA, LCMHCPsychotherapist & Community Outreach Coordinator March has always felt like a special month to me. Not only do I celebrate another year around the sun this month, but I also love the shift from winter to spring. The longer days, the warmer air, the sunlight. It feels like the world is waking up again. The sun brings out all the serotonin and somehow wakes up my soul, too. More recently, I realized that March holds another important day, International Women’s Day, which feels especially meaningful at this point in my life. I’ve been surrounded by strong, intelligent, and impactful women for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a female-dominated home, and now I work for businesses that are also largely female-led. When I really stop and think about it, the influence of these women has shaped so much of who I am today. There’s something deeply empowering about that kind of environment. A sisterhood where each person’s strengths, weaknesses, and individuality are welcomed and embraced. When I applied to work at Banyan years ago, the fact that it was a woman-owned business really resonated with me. At the time, I was still shedding parts of my younger self. The timid, people-pleasing version of me that often stayed quiet or followed the lead of others. But deep down, I knew I wanted to grow into someone stronger. I wanted to be someone who could be unapologetically themselves. Someone who stands up for others, empathizes with people’s struggles, and leads with confidence rather than feeling the pull to simply follow. At 30 years old now, I can look back at who I was in the first few decades of my life and smile, because I know little Brittany would be so proud of me and would truly see me as an inspiration. I’m still growing and evolving, and am proud of it. Looking at where I am now, I know that so many women before me helped make that possible. Women like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Maya Angelou, Dolly Parton, and Rosa Parks, just to name a few. Their courage, creativity, and determination created space for others to find their voice. If you ever visit our offices, you might notice that many of our therapy rooms are named after influential women throughout history. It’s a small but meaningful reminder of the legacy they’ve left behind and the paths they helped create for the rest of us. Who are the women who shaped you? The ones who modeled courage, compassion, resilience, or strength in ways big or small. For me, the most influential figures were the ones sitting beside me at the dinner table, cheering me on from the sidelines, or quietly reminding me that I am capable of more than I realized. Maybe they were the same for you. And maybe that’s what International Women’s Day is really about. Not just celebrating the icons we read about in history books, but also recognizing the everyday women who inspire growth, encourage authenticity, and remind us to keep becoming who we are meant to be. I can confidently say that I’m surrounded by many incredible everyday women: my sisters, my friends, and my colleagues, who continue to inspire me in ways big and small.
