Hi KRTW Community:
I will be out of office from July 3rd until July 11th; during this time I will be completely without access to service.
My husband and I make it a priority to take an extended trip into the wilderness once a year. It is so good for my soul to have this trip to look forward to. I have to be intentional about training my body for it, which really motivates a lifestyle that is good for my mental health. And being in the wilderness itself is a really special experience. It's free of to do lists, deadlines, things to remember -- I know we can all relate to feeling inundated with those things. It's so important and refreshing to get a break from it, whatever way you can that excites you and lights you up. It helps me to recenter; reconnect with myself. And in the mean time, I get a lot of quality time with my husband as we have plenty of time to just talk. (Even though we do stink a lot.)
If you need to make any changes to your appointments upcoming, please remember you can do so through the client portal: https://kelseyriddlelmft.clientsecure.me and using your email to login as 'Existing Client'.
If you should have any mental health or behavioral crisis, please either call 911 or contact your nearest crisis resource, which can be found at http://crisissolutionsnc.org/.
I will return all messages within 24 hours when I'm back on July 12th morning. And I'll look forward to reconnecting with you when I see you next. I am so glad to be part of your life, and I appreciate you understanding my need for rest -- and I hope you listen to and prioritize your own needs as well.
Gentle reminder: I have openings for July 21st and 22nd (my last week in office in Arizona). If you would like to meet with me in person before I go, you have the option to switch to an opening on one of those days.
Thinking of you-
With gratitude,
Kelsey
