The post Keeping the Home Fires Burning appeared first on Vervewell.
]]>I’ve officially gone through every closet, every drawer, every room, the garage, my storage space…I’ve organized, cleaned out, purged, donated, sold, sorted all of it. My storage space is so tidy and neatly filled with the things I find worthy of keeping: winter clothes, some beautiful Christmas ornaments, as well as a stack of gorgeous Lenox platinum dishes with which I simply can’t yet part ways. The Vervewell offices now house the modest art, photography, and record collections I gathered over my forty plus years in Texas, which, in my opinion, fill each space with soul.
I’ve done what has been asked of me before I move, before I relocate, wander, explore, find. I have turned “my home” into “their Air B&B”. You, too, can rent my home for your guests beginning in June of this year. It’s a lovely space. It’s where I wrote my book. It’s where I turned a corner.
All I have left to do is a practice run of packing my daughter’s car with what I plan to take w me. If some things won’t fit, they will be left in my storage, or donated.
Dare I say, I am ready. Now…I count down days…34, 33, 32…27, 26, 25…13, 12, 11…
While I will be back every four to six weeks indefinitely, I will miss my daily connection with the Vervewell offices and, specifically, my staff, who are, more accurately, my friends. Thankfully, technology is such that daily communication can be a strong existence between me and them. Please allow one of them to be your therapist. I promise this will become a relationship of support, trust, confidentiality and the always needed, personal growth. That is the goal of therapy: personal growth. Some say the goal is to heal, which is also accurate. Whatever your reason, I encourage you to be the keeper of such a solid connection, a gift to your soul.
I am not leaving, I am relocating…going. I am still seeing clients through Vervewell telehealth. My clients will catch me in various backdrops, some still yet to be determined: Hudson, NY, Barnstable, MA, Newport, RI, Mystic, CT as I submerge myself into various locations, cultures, experiencing life as me, no longer as my things.
I am proud that Vervewell is strong enough to do this.
That’s some good therapy. You are in the best hands, with each therapy room full of soul.
Accept nothing less.
In personal growth and healing,

All the while, Vervewell is keeping the home fires burning.

]]>The post THANK YOU to each of you appeared first on Vervewell.
]]>I’ll make this email short and sweet. THANK YOU to each of you who take the time to read these emails, as well as those of you who construct a kind reply. Connecting with our clients means the world to each of us therapists here at Vervewell.
Admittedly, I’m TIRED this week, which is why this will stay short.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how to be good to myself, and why it’s so important to do so.
And no matter how difficult or complicated or deep I try to make it, I come back to this simple idea:
When I am good to myself, the happier I feel, and the happier I feel, the more genuinely available I am to those who are wanting to connect with me (maybe that’s my child, my parent, my brother or sister, my co-worker, my best friend, my sweet cats who talk to me each time I come home from wherever I’ve been).
For the love of those who love you, be good to you.
That’s it for this email.

Coming SOON:
Beth is taking her clients along on her nomadic adventure as she explores various small towns in the northeast. She is switching her clients to telehealth or phone calls (instead of in person). If you’d like to get on her schedule, and go along for the ride, please do so at Vervewell.org. Her Nomadically Northeast experience begins Monday, June 3, 2024. Feel free to get on her calendar before she relocates, so you can see the charming Vervewell offices beforehand.
Virtually Vervewell is in the works! This will be a link on the Vervewell website that offers on-line/virtual therapy and coaching courses. This link will also have Beth’s book for sale upon its release on June 1, 2024.
So much GROWTH at Vervewell, all so that we can extend our hands to offer more and more methods for personal growth, stronger relationships, and healthiest lifestyles. We got you!

]]>Please enjoy our latest season of our Vervewell podcast, entitled:
This Won’t Be Done By 5.
I came up with this title, and this podcast many years ago. It gives a nod to the on-going process that is the human condition. My staff and I take the time to get transparent and personal and talk about therapeutic topics, as well as our own life stories and experiences.
It’s an easy listen. We hope you enjoy what you hear!
And if you have a topic, you’d like to hear us discuss in our future seasons, there is a link at the bottom of our podcast page for this exact thing.
Also, staff member Heather Chandler, LPC will be hosting a virtual TEEN GROUP beginning January 18!
Please email Heather for more information:

Best to each of you in this new year!

]]>The post We’ve Been BUSY This Year appeared first on Vervewell.
]]>I strive to hire licensed therapists who have their own stories nestled down in their hearts, in their souls. I encourage my staff to use their stories to shape their therapeutic lenses. It is from our own paths, the miles we’ve walked, our heart felt efforts, as well as our heartaches that we can show up in our therapy rooms with our hearts wide open, our empathy on point, and our presence calm, grounded, available for each client to receive high end therapy at its finest. This is our mission; this is my promise.
The Vervewell staff is like a small family, and I am confident this energy is felt as our clients walk into our waiting room and into their therapy rooms. Please spread the word if we’ve served you well. Our website is beautiful with everything one needs to know to get themselves scheduled with one of our exceptional therapists. We also have a podcast if you haven’t listened to it yet! We will be recording Season Three this fall. And if you go a little deeper within our site, you will see the awards, the magazine mentions and features, and the TV spot! We are proud of what we do, and we are available to be of service to you and yours.
Thank you for allowing us the honor of being in your corner…
Sincerely,
Beth Lewis, LPC-S
