💖 True love in a healthy relationship isn’t s

💖 True love in a healthy relationship isn’t something that just happens—it’s something we choose, build, and nurture every day. Lasting love goes beyond the initial spark; it’s about creating a foundation of trust, empathy, and consistent care.

💖 Healthy relationships grow through intentional acts—showing up for each other, communicating openly, and navigating the ups and downs together. But it’s important to remember that this journey takes two people equally willing to invest in the relationship. Not every situation can or should be nurtured in the same way. For some, the healthiest choice is to prioritize their own well-being.

💖 Love thrives when we put in the effort to understand and support one another, creating a space where both people feel valued and secure. Healthy love means choosing each other, over and over again, in an environment that feels safe and supportive.

✨How can you nurture your relationships today—starting with yourself?

Let’s talk about Internal Family Systems (IFS) T

Let’s talk about Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy

Have you ever felt like different parts of yourself are at odds with each other? Maybe one part of you craves success, while another holds back in fear. That’s where Internal Family Systems (IFS) comes in.

IFS is a powerful, evidence-based approach to therapy that helps us understand and heal the “parts” within us—our internal family. We all have different parts, like the inner critic, protector, or child, each with its own role and needs. IFS helps you connect with your core “Self” to lead these parts with compassion, clarity, and calm.

✨ How Does It Help?
By understanding and healing these parts, IFS offers a path to:

• Greater emotional balance
• Deep self-awareness
• Healing from past trauma
• Empowerment to live with more self-compassion

IFS can transform your relationship with yourself for the better! We are thrilled to have therapists trained in IFS therapy at Crown Counseling. Reach out to be set up with one of our qualified practitioners! 🌟

✨Meet Cara Goldsmith MHC!✨ “Hi, I’m Cara

✨Meet Cara Goldsmith MHC!✨

“Hi, I’m Cara Goldsmith, Mental Health Counselor.
Acceptance is a word that is extremely important when reflecting on the reason I chose to become a mental health counselor. I believe that we are all on our own individual journeys of self-exploration, creating balance in our lives and accepting the difficult choices that we all must go through which will lead us through our own journey. I have learned that surrounding yourself with people who listen, provide you support, and create a positive environment will allow us to grow and become a stronger and healthier version of ourselves.

I have received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Touro College and currently working under my Limited Permit. When working with clients I often implement CBT, Whole Person Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I always acknowledge that each client is an individual and every client will have their own path of healing. I understand that it is my responsibility to provide each client with their own tools to help enhance their lives and to become the healthiest and happiest version of themselves.“

As parents, teachers, and caregivers, we’re all

As parents, teachers, and caregivers, we’re all doing our best to guide the children in our care. Sometimes, it’s hard to know the right response when a child is overwhelmed with big emotions like sadness or frustration. But every feeling, including sadness, is valid. Giving children the space to express their emotions without judgment helps them feel safe and understood. It’s not about fixing how they feel, but letting them know it’s okay to feel.

When children are allowed to process their emotions in a supportive environment, they grow up feeling more secure, resilient, and emotionally aware. The way we respond can shape how they handle their feelings for the rest of their lives. 🌟

Ah, the dreaded therapy homework! 😅 We’ve all

Ah, the dreaded therapy homework! 😅 We’ve all been there—assigned work we really don’t feel like doing. And hey, that’s totally okay! Therapy homework isn’t for everyone, but trust that your therapist assigns it because they genuinely believe it’ll help you in the long run. And don’t worry, we’re human too! If you didn’t get to it, feel free to be honest—we get it! 😂

✨Humans are capable of feeling many things at on

✨Humans are capable of feeling many things at once. We are complex and sometimes this can feel confusing. It is easy to become overstimulated with everything going on in the world and in our own lives. But you don’t need to make the feelings go away, attempting to do this will only make them feel more overwhelming or will cause them to resurface in other less healthy ways. So here’s your sign to give yourself permission to let those feelings express themselves. You can give yourself compassion in knowing that what you are experiencing is totally normal and okay.

✨Have you ever experienced multiple feelings at the same time? How do you deal with overstimulation? Let us know in the comments!

🌟The concept of rupture and repair emphasizes t

🌟The concept of rupture and repair emphasizes the importance of restoring connections and relationships after a disconnection occurs, rather than solely focusing on the initial rupture. Human connections and relationships are vital not only for mental well-being but also for survival.

🌟Every relationship encounters ruptures, such as disagreements, hurt, and misunderstandings. When a relationship can endure these challenges, it demonstrates its strength and security, highlighting the significance of the repair process.

🌟According to Philippa Perry, repairing involves recognizing the disruption, addressing underlying issues, and striving to mend the connection. Repairs are crucial and have the potential to strengthen relationships, fostering deep trust and connection instead of superficial avoidance.

Did you know that sleep can have a significant imp

Did you know that sleep can have a significant impact on our mental health? 😴 Keep reading to learn more.

💤 Mood Regulation: Adequate sleep helps regulate mood by maintaining the balance of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are critical for emotional stability.

💤 Stress Response: Poor sleep increases the production of stress hormones like cortisol, making it harder to cope with daily stressors.

💤 Mental Resilience: Consistent, quality sleep enhances mental resilience, making us less susceptible to anxiety and depression.

💤 Cognitive Function: Sleep is essential for cognitive processes such as memory consolidation, problem-solving, and decision-making, which directly affect mental health.

💤 Emotional Reactivity: Sleep deprivation can heighten emotional reactivity, leading to increased irritability, anger, and mood swings.

💤 Risk of Mental Health Disorders: Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to a higher risk of developing mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

💤 Sleep and Trauma: Poor sleep can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, making it harder to process traumatic experiences and recover emotionally.

💤 Social Interaction: Lack of sleep can impair our ability to read social cues and respond appropriately, leading to strained relationships and increased social isolation.

💤 Long-term Impact: Chronic sleep issues can contribute to long-term mental health problems, making it harder to break the cycle of poor mental health and poor sleep.

So how can we improve our sleep? 🥱 There are numerous things that can help with better sleep including:

-establishment of a consistent sleep schedule
-relaxing bedtime routine
-making bedroom cool, dark, and quiet
-limit exposure to screens at least an hour before bed
-exercise regularly
-natural light exposure to regulate circadian rythm
-limit naps
-seek mental health support

Meet Miriam Ilyayev, LMSW!

“I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Touro College Graduate School of Social Work in 2014.
Ever since I was young, many have gravitated toward me for a listening ear, words of encouragement, and guidance. Taking my natural ability to easily connect with people from all walks of life, I went on to take my skills to a professional level and am now helping people become the best version of themselves. My motto has always been one must not only survive but thrive despite one’s challenges – life gave you lemons? squeeze, add sugar – and enjoy the best lemonade.
As an immigrant who is familiar with many obstacles, I’m all about embracing diversity and uplifting spirits using many different modalities.
My professional experience has been solidified working with pre-school age children, post-college adults.
I have worked with the Re-Entry population, primarily males re-entering society after their release from New York State prisons, as well as working with adult women with disabilities and children with behavior and learning challenges. I also work with parents counseling them to help school children perform better academically, socially and emotionally.
I am a spiritual person and believe G-d gave me special talents that I can use to enhance my passion to make this world a better place. In my desire to take care of others, I founded numerous projects under the umbrella of Russian Nshei in Crown Heights, including MaMi which provides meals for families who had a baby, baby packages and other items to ease families with their new addition. In my free time, I love going places with my family, listening to and playing music, and participating in concerts and speaking engagements.
The key is to build resilience and strive to achieve not only your goals but also your dreams. Let me help you find and bring out the best inner you that will climb mountains.
