Uncharted Territory

We know that the idea of therapy can feel… intense. Sitting across from someone, talking about your feelings, not knowing where to put your hands — it’s a lot, especially if you’ve never done it before. But what if therapy didn’t have to look like that? What if your first steps toward healing didn’t start […]

Big conversations. Cramped spaces. No topic off-limits. Let’s just say it: some conversations are too real for polite company. Sobriety.Money.Race.Sex.Spirituality.Control.Shame.The stuff you avoid at dinner parties but live with every day. That’s where we’re going—with a mic, a guest, and just enough room to make everyone slightly uncomfortable. Welcome to Too Big for This Room—our brand-new podcast series dropping […]

Mary, therapist and SAFE EMDR practitioner at The Pursuit Counseling  If you’re someone who shows up for other people—day in, day out—this is for you.If you’re the one who leads the classroom, runs the small group, keeps the team grounded, or checks in on your coworkers before checking in on yourself… this is for you. […]

In a world that worships the hustle, EMDR is a full-body permission slip to slow down and actually feel what needs to be felt. With this hustle, some of us seek trauma therapy, but some of us don’t realize that anxiety treatment can be related to things that most don’t view as PTSD therapy. Sometimes […]

You might not realize it, but you married a warrior. She’s not just a “sports mom.” She’s the backbone of a traveling machine, the command center for your child’s athletic journey. She’s the one who remembers which uniform needs to be packed, which hotel doesn’t have laundry, which field is a mud pit when it […]

Last week, I did something brave. Not brave like booked-a-solo-trip-to-Italy like those instagram people brave. Brave like opened-the-pool-bag-from-last-summer brave. You know the one.Shoved in the hall closet.Still faintly smells like sunscreen and regret.Sticky granola bar wrappers.One swim goggle, somehow twisted in a hair tie.The moldy imprint of a half-eaten peach. It was not just a bag. It […]

Let’s be real—dealing with insurance is a headache. The calls, the denials, the fine print that somehow never works in your favor. That’s exactly why we don’t take insurance at The Pursuit. Not because we don’t want therapy to be accessible (we do), but because insurance companies get in the way of good therapy. They decide how many […]

Let’s be honest—when it comes to therapy, the first session can feel like the biggest mountain to climb. Your brain is spinning with questions:What do I say? What if I cry? What if I don’t cry? What if they think I’m too much? Or not enough? Do I lay down? Do I vent? Do I […]

Let’s talk about the part no one admits out loud. Here it is. The question that floats underneath every quiet Google search. Every saved therapist profile. Every half-written intake form. “If I go to therapy… what does that say about me?” Not out loud, of course.But in your head? It’s loud.Because you’re not just thinking […]

We get it.Actually, we really get it. Maybe the thought of therapy has been lingering in the back of your mind—or maybe someone else planted the idea. But every time it comes up, something in you tightens. You think, “I just don’t want to talk about it.” And we want you to know: that’s okay. […]

You care deeply. You show up fully.But that kind of heart comes with a cost. If you’re a teacher, nonprofit leader, justice worker, or someone doing work that matters, you already know what burnout feels like. The kind that’s not just about being tired—but about feeling like you’re losing pieces of yourself in the process. […]

You’re the one who always shows up.At work. At home. In your community.You’re thoughtful, responsible, and tuned in to everyone else’s needs. But lately, you’ve been wondering… who’s there for me? Mary Laughlin works with people who are great at holding it together—even when they’re running on empty. The educators. The counselors. The quiet feelers. […]

You’ve done the work.You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe even tried to meditate through the chaos. But deep down, something still feels off. Disconnected. Unsettled. Like you’re constantly managing your life instead of living it. That’s where Sathiya Palanisamy comes in. Therapy That Moves Beyond the Surface Sathiya blends clinical theory expertise with mindfulness […]

You don’t need a meltdown to justify needing support.You just need a minute to be human. Katie Huggins works with people who are stretched thin—parents, professionals, athletes, overachievers—people who are high-functioning on the outside and quietly overwhelmed on the inside. You might be the one keeping everything running. The one everyone else leans on. But […]

Jason Collins has spent over two decades walking with couples and individuals who are navigating deep questions about life, love, and faith. With a background in both pastoral ministry and clinical counseling, he brings […]

When the pressure’s always on, and the spotlight never dims…Who do you turn to? For high-achievers—CEOs, pro athletes, founders, and visionaries—the answer is often Adam Glendye. Adam isn’t just a therapist. He’s a trusted partner in the kind of transformation most people don’t talk about. The private kind. The kind behind closed doors. The kind […]

I used to wake up in a house I chose, next to a partner I loved, headed to a job I worked hard for—and still feel like I wasn’t in my own life. From the outside, it looked like I was living the dream. But inside? I felt like a stranger to myself. My days […]

For the guys who’ve been holding it down for everyone else—and might just be starting to wonder… at what cost? Alright, brother—let’s have a real one. You’re solid. You get things done. You know how to hold the line, get through it, push forward. Whether it’s the flight deck, the field, the job, the family—you’re […]

You’ll often find us chatting between appointments not just about therapy—but about our runs. Katie Huggins, Julia Akins, and Adam Glendye have been steadily building their endurance as runners. Whether we’re following a structured marathon training plan or simply logging miles for general aerobic fitness, running has become more than just a hobby—it’s become an […]

The part that’s uncomfortable, necessary, and kind of magical—if you let it be. We all love the second half of that phrase.“…bring May flowers.”The bloom.The reward.The sunny part. But nobody talks enough about the April part.The soggy, muddy, gray-area season.The part where things feel messy.Where everything feels a little off, but you can’t quite name why.Where […]
