Rhythm & Wave Therapy

Found myself pausing today during my late afternoon coffee to soak in the natural light in our office - maybe it's being thrown off by daylight savings time, but I'm feeling extra sappy today. Rhythm & Wave celebrated it's one year birthday in February and I haven't taken a breath to feel gratitude for all the humans (and dogs) that supported us in getting to where we are...whether through gentle encouragement, branding suggestions, or advice on being in private practice. 💌Sending a lot of love to all of you who guided us in this process. 💌Sending extra love to my partner in crime, Kelsey, who pushed me to take this leap, and then decided to join me in this wild adventure. There is something extra special about both working with a friend who inspires you everyday and who doesn't judge you when they find you napping between sessions (shhh...). Happy one year anniversary Kelsey 🎉👏 Can't wait to see what this next year brings. Love you, friend! - Em 😘

Have you ever struggled to explain to your partner why asking repeatedly for something to be done (i.e. dirty socks to be put in the hamper and not on the floor 🙋‍♀️) is so upsetting? In 'This is How Your Marriage Ends', Fray highlights common ways in which partners invalidate each other during seemingly mundane day-to-day interactions. This, although often unintentional, communicates a lack of care and respect that erodes trust over time. Good news is: with this insight, we can break habits that cause harm to our relationships and work towards reestablishing trust 🌱 #couplestherapy #mentalhealth #parenting #pmads #therapy #thisishowyourmarriageends

Sorry we've been MIA, but we've been busy! 🌱 Some updates to share with you: Rhythm & Wave Therapy is now located at the Lowry Rose Building in Minneapolis - we've taken the time to make the space cozy and reflect our personalities (i.e. weighted dinosaur pillow and prints of dogs drinking coffee). Now that we have the space, we are excited to start daydreaming about potential offerings in addition to the ones we've shared above. Let us know if there is a resource or need missing in our community that we could help fill ☕ #perinatalmentalhealth #mentalhealth #pmads #therapy #emdr #doula #minneapolistherapist #motherhoodjourney

And, oh boy, can grief be crushing. It is often unexpected, isolating, confusing, and all-consuming. A first step towards feeling better is sharing your story. #pmads #postpartum #birthtrauma #therapy #grief #motherhood

When we seek support, it is a request to be held. That desire to be held by others is simply part of being human. We are creatures that don't exist in isolation, and there is no weakness in that. It takes a lot of strength to ask to be held, and even more to let someone hold you. 🌿 How can you ask for help today? #pmads #mentalhealth #therapy #motherhood #parenting #minneapolis #selfcare

Raising a kiddo may feel like the most important thing you’ll ever do, and you may put intense pressure on yourself to do it perfectly. Here is a reminder that you are human, and no one is perfect. It’s okay to need to help. #pmads #parenting #therapy #motherhood #allyoucandoisyourbest

It can be tempting to focus only on our “failures”, but here is a reminder that there are also wins that deserve to be acknowledged. Can you give yourself some credit today? 💕#parenthood

Those moments when your toddler seems wise beyond their years is a gem of a moment within the exhaustion of parenting. An important reminder to all of us, especially as we head into the weekend. Take a deep breath, be patient with yourself. No rush. #happyfriday #pmads #mentalhealth #maternalmentalhealth #parenting #motherhood
