We Celebrate Pride
This June, we honor Pride Month. Center for Balanced Living is an affirming space. This includes LGBTQ+ clients, families, and community members. We believe in healing within identity. Relationships and lived experience are also key. Every person deserves to feel seen and respected. Our trauma-informed practice is committed to care. We provide inclusive, compassionate care. It honors each person's story. Pride celebrates authenticity and belonging. These values guide us all year. Not just in June.

We connect with our community in new ways. We invite you to follow this new chapter.
Notes from Boston: The Trauma Research Foundation Conference
This month, Dr. Serravalle attended a conference. It was the Trauma Research Foundation Conference. It took place in Boston. Clinicians, researchers, and educators attended. They explored trauma treatment and neuroscience. The conference highlighted evolving research. This included attachment and nervous system regulation. Trauma recovery was also a key focus. It emphasized integrating approaches. This meets each client's unique needs. Dr. Serravalle returned inspired. She brought these insights back to CFBL. They validate our current work. They also strengthen our client care. This includes their families.
Creative Expression and Support Groups
We announce new opportunities for connection. They foster creativity and healing. Amanda's Art Therapy Group is accepting forms. This group explores emotions. Participants build insight and self-expression. They use the creative process. It is a safe, supportive therapeutic environment. We are forming a Pet Loss Support Group. It is available virtually and in-person. Losing an animal can be deep grief. It is often misunderstood. This group offers a compassionate space. Share and be supported there. Connect with others who understand. Interest forms are open for both groups.
