☕ Welcome to Coffee and Counseling! ☕

Join Rachel Steinhardt, LMHC and Stephanie Van Schaick, LMHC as we dive into why slowing down feels so uncomfortable and how to give yourself genuine permission to rest. Whether you're a therapist, someone in therapy, or just curious about mental health, we’re here to challenge conventional perspectives and get real about what healing actually looks like.

In This Session, We Cover:

✅ Why your nervous system resists rest even when you’re exhausted

✅ What slowing down actually looks like in real life

✅ Practical ways to release guilt, create space, and reset your pace as you move into a new season
