🌟 Honoring the Strength of Military Children 🌟 April is the Month of the Military Child, a time to recognize those who grew up in military families—learning to adapt, sacrifice, and carry the weight of service in their own way. If you were a military child, you may still feel the effects of that experience today. Frequent moves, long separations, and the demands of military life shape emotions, relationships, and identity well into adulthood. At Symmetry of Self, we understand how growing up in a military home can impact your sense of stability, connection, and even the way you process stress. Your experience matters. Your story matters. Healing is possible. To those who were once military kids: We see you. We support you. You are not alone. #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild #PurpleUp #MilitaryFamily #Resilience #SymmetryOfSelf #VeteranCare #FirstResponderSupport #veterans

Breaking the Silence on MST 🚫 Military Sexual Trauma (MST) isn’t just an experience—it’s an injury. It leaves wounds that aren’t always visible, but they are real, and they matter. MST can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, rank, or branch of service. Survivors often face shame, fear, or the weight of silence, but here’s the truth: 🔹 You are not alone. 🔹 It was not your fault. 🔹 Healing is possible. At Symmetry of Self, we understand the unique struggles that come with military culture, service, and trauma. We provide judgment-free, veteran-led support to help survivors of MST reclaim their sense of self, safety, and strength. If you or someone you know is struggling, we’re here. Your story matters. Your healing matters. You deserve support. 🌐 Reach out when you're ready. #MilitarySexualTrauma #MSTAwareness #VeteranSupport #YouAreNotAlone #SymmetryOfSelf #HealingIsPossible

🚫 We’re Not Here to Sell You a Used Car 🚫 At Symmetry of Self, we believe in offering genuine, compassionate care — not a sales pitch.

Why Military Veterans Make the Best Therapists for Veterans & First Responders When you’ve served, you know—there’s a bond that forms in the trenches, in the late-night shifts, in the moments of shared hardship and unspoken understanding. That connection doesn’t just go away when we leave the military. It becomes part of who we are, shaping how we show up in the world—and in the therapy room. At Symmetry of Self, every therapist has served. That means we don’t just understand the challenges of military and first responder life—we’ve lived them. But it’s more than just shared experience. It’s about culture. The culture of service, of loyalty, of looking out for one another. The kind of culture where trust isn’t automatic—it’s earned. Where safety isn’t just physical, it’s psychological. We carry that into our work, ensuring that the space we create in therapy feels as solid and secure as the bonds we built in uniform. We know the weight of the silence. We know what goes unsaid. And we know how to hold that space—without judgment, without pretense, just with the same commitment we always had: having your six. Therapy with us isn’t about forcing change. It’s about navigating it together, just like we did in service. Because no one gets through this alone. #VeteransHelpingVeterans #FirstResponderWellness #VeteranTherapists #CulturalCompetence #GotYourSix #mentalhealthsupport #SymmetryOfSelf #TherapyForTheToughest

We’re excited to announce that Symmetry of Self has officially been listed in The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) Psychologically Healthy Fire Departments Directory of Behavioral Health Professionals! This is a significant milestone for our mission to provide high-quality support to those who serve our communities—especially firefighters who face high-pressure, emotionally challenging situations. We believe first responder culture shares many similarities with military culture, which is why we are confident in our ability to provide the right kind of care to the first responder community. With our very own Tony Federici, who is still operating as a paramedic, we have firsthand experience of the unique demands and stresses that come with the job. Being listed in this directory ensures that firefighters have access to the professional support they need for both mental and emotional resilience. We are committed to strengthening the psychological health of our heroes so they can continue to show up at their best. #NVFC #PsychologicallyHealthyFireDepartments #FirefighterSupport #MentalHealthMatters #FirstResponderWellness #SymmetrySupport

The Symmetry Standard isn’t just a set of guidelines—it’s the foundation of how we operate as a team, defining the ethos and integrity of our squad. At Symmetry of Self, we take pride in holding ourselves to the highest standards of care and professionalism because we know what’s at stake when it comes to supporting military, veterans, and first responders. This is more than a job—it’s a calling rooted in shared experiences, unwavering respect, and a commitment to doing the work, both for ourselves and those we serve. Our standard reflects the balance of strength and compassion, the power of vulnerability, and the drive to never stop evolving as practitioners. As a team, we lead by example, living out the same principles of self-reflection, emotional regulation, and resilience that we teach to clients. We hold each other accountable, ensure no one falls behind, and celebrate the victories—no matter how small. In everything we do, we seek to create not just a service, but a refuge for healing where individuals feel valued, seen, and supported in building meaningful change. It’s this ethos that transforms us from a group of clinicians into a united squad committed to having each other’s backs—and, above all, the backs of the clients who trust us with their stories. Together, we honor the unique challenges our clients face with authenticity, respect, and a shared drive for real, lasting transformation. That’s The Symmetry Standard. #SymmetryofSelf #FirstResponderSupport #VeteransCare #veteranshelpingveterans #firstrespondercare #MentalHealthSupport #VeteranLedCare #TraumaInformedCare #MentalhealthSupport #VeteranOwned #EndTheStigma #symmetrystandard

Celebrating National Hugging Day: The Power of Human Connection Today, on National Hugging Day, we celebrate the simple but powerful act of a hug. Not only does it bring warmth and comfort, but it also has scientifically proven benefits for your mental and emotional health. When we hug, our bodies release oxytocin, the “love hormone,” which helps reduce stress, enhance trust, and promote feelings of connection and bonding. At Symmetry of Self, we understand how important human connection is to healing and overall wellness. Hugs may not always be possible, but emotional support, safe spaces for sharing, and strengthening our relationships also nurture this healing response. By focusing on these connections, we are empowered to create trust and emotional safety, promoting resilience and well-being. The release of oxytocin can calm anxiety, improve mood, and reinforce feelings of bonding—offering tangible support in our journey to emotional wellness. We encourage you today to embrace those moments of connection that bring comfort and support as part of your own healing. As we continue our work supporting veterans, first responders, and others, we know that nurturing both emotional and physical connections is key to healing. #HugItOut #NationalHuggingDay #Oxytocin #LoveHormone #HealingThroughConnection #MentalHealthSupport #VeteranLedCare #EmotionalWellness #HealingFromTrauma #TherapeuticConnections #StressRelief #SupportAndHealing
