Sometimes in life you can’t get more lucky.. and things work out better than you could have ever imagined.
✨
That’s absolutely my reality with this intelligent, driven, silliest of the gooses, big dreamer, fireballontheoutside-softlilmarshmallowontheinside woman.
😍
So incredibly grateful for this chapter (even if we both said we would NEVER be with another therapist..😅)…and excited for what’s to come.
🌆
Shoutout to all those faces on the rooftop that helped make this engagement special AND somewhat of a surprise for a woman that always anticipates what’s next.
🙏🏽

I consider myself so lucky in a ton of ways..but maybe none more lucky than getting to be this dudes father.
💗
Spending time with you reminds me of the best times I had with my dad… being outside in nature, playing video games, or asking a thousand questions about life.
☀️🌴🌊
I often don’t know what I’m doing but I do know I love you and am grateful to be your father.
🐻

05/12/2024

Happy Mother’s Day to the biggest inspiration I’ve ever had in my life.
💗
Anyone can TELL you how to live but it’s another level of influence when someone SHOWS you.
💯
My mom has been a constant model of endurance, intelligence, and persistence.. getting a BS, MS, and PhD all while raising two young boys.
📚
I would have never of thought that I’d be able to go to graduate school for ANYTHING if it wasn’t for her modeling and encouragement.
🎓
Despite all the ups and downs I’ve been through in my life, I’ve always felt incredibly grateful for the mother I got.
🙏🏽
Love you Mom!

Whatever you see on social media know it is only part of the story.
I don’t really think social media is a “lie”… it can be.. but more often than not it is a “curated highlight reel” (often quoted by my bestie ).
Thanks for letting me share!
🙌🏽

Therapist: “What’s your favorite form of self-care?”
Me: “Bubbles”
Therapist: “What?”
Me: “Lots of bubbles..”
Therapist: 🤨📝
And yes, .jackiehrzich is a bubble sorcerer…

Woke up feeling 80,000 times better.
🤓
It’s natural in life that we go through lows… but for so many of us we don’t talk about it.
We lose connection with ourselves because of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma… or the constant changes of LIFE.
But then we put on a face and give the quick response of “I’m fine” to coverup our suffering.
What I want you to know is you don’t have to drift through these times alone!
Therapy is an awesome place for healing… and yet often what we need is to be open and vulnerable with those around us to get the connection and release the suffering we’ve been pushing down.
You will find that when you step into vulnerability it will illuminate what relationships truly matter.
I hope you give yourself a chance to be heard, seen, and understood… you deserve it!!!
Thank you for all the love and helping crush mental health stigma every day!
🖤

Well Hey 70 k!!
🖤
I’ve loved watching this account grow over the past few months with people interested in crushing mental health stigma!
Here’s a bit about me:

- I grew up in Northeast Ohio as a 90’s kid who idolized Tony Hawk
- I got interested in mental health as a result of my father and brother passing away
- I was lucky enough to have an awesome therapist back then and I continue to practice what I preach and go to therapy now
- I very much believe that the biggest difference you will ever make in this life will only occur when you are authentically YOU
- Some of my all time favorite bands are: Blink 182, Green Day, Weezer, CCR, Catfish and The Bottlemen & Twenty One Pilots
I appreciate each and every one of you for being here!!!
🙌🏽

05/15/2021

YOUR 👏🏽 TRUTH 👏🏽 MATTERS 👏🏽
There really is no point in comparing traumas because it means nothing without the uniqueness of how the event was experienced.
I hope you give yourself a chance to express what you have been through without judgment of whether it’s “big enough” or “bad enough.”
🖤

A rare “back in the office” photo!
🤓

For those who are new.. Hey!!! 👋🏽 and here’s a little about me:

🌴 I’m a licensed psychologist living in south Florida.

✨ My passion is breaking stigma surrounding mental health by having open conversations, sharing my story and providing psychoeducational information!

🙌🏽 Although I can’t provide you specific therapeutic advice, I love answering your questions about mental health here on Insta, during lives (often on TikTok), and in my story!

🛋 I have a private practice where I primarily work with teens and young adults with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

👶🏻 I just had my first child and am figuring out parenting like every new mom or dad out there!

🖤Grateful you are here and can’t wait to grow this supportive, informed, and curious mental health community!

05/05/2021

Being able to define any psychological or mental health phenomenon is important!
But as a therapist my concern lies not whether something is or is not “trauma” but rather are people seeking treatment for events that ARE impacting their mental health!
Whatever you’ve been through, I hope you understand that you deserve to tell your story and be heard.
🖤

05/01/2021

These symptoms can feel AWFUL but it is a common result of unearthing and moving through the thoughts and emotions we’ve buried for so long.
Regulating activities slow you down, allow you to be present, and give you release, which is critical to balancing-out the hard work of therapy.
🖤

04/22/2021

A few other points since 60 seconds is never enough..
I wouldn’t recommend replacing Alex’s toy right away. Maybe there is a way they can “earn it” back or just have time to understand that things aren’t always easily replaced.
Another point, logical consequences can open opportunities to model values.
Having Susie apologize to the neighbor and offer to help replace the damaged flowers models “being a good neighbor.”

04/20/2021

NO. There is no perfect discipline strategy.
YES. You may have to place your child back in the timeout area multiple times and reexplain the consequence.
All of us parents need to be flexible and try strategies that teach consequences without damaging them.
There are always multiple opportunities in any situation to make it educational.. I’ll talk more about this in the next video.
Here is a great article by Time: https://time.com/5700473/time-outs-science/

04/19/2021

All of us are capable of learning new information and applying it to our lives... not all of us are open to it.
If I’ve learned anything as a psychologist it’s you can’t convince people of things they don’t want to hear.
Hoping this series will be helpful for you all looking for alternative strategies to spanking.
🖤

03/30/2021

I don’t love running.
Yep. That’s pretty much the face I make the entire time.
But I do it because I know it’s good for me. It helps me regulate and release stress. I don’t always feel like doing it but afterwards I typically feel energized and more at peace.
The same holds true with meditating. I don’t always look forward to doing it and during each session I can feel very different.
Sometimes I’m distracted by thoughts, anxious about 99 things going on in my life, or trying to predict the future.
But I do it because it allows me to notice my mind and move towards being in the present, more balanced, more myself.
Don’t give up on your self-care because of how you feel before or during. Do it because you are building a healthy life for yourself in the long run.
Keep progressing!
🖤🙌🏽

03/11/2021

Building-up self-esteem and confidence after having someone with NPD in our life can be difficult.
I hope you stay grounded in the compassionate, adaptable, connecting relationship you deserve!
No relationship is perfect, but our voice should be valued!
👏🏽

.
Even with all the stress, chaos, and trauma of this past year...

I would do it over and over again to get this little guy.

😍

.

Dissociation is also commonly linked to trauma or severe anxiety.
It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional to see what your experience is related to.

02/21/2021

.
When is it just “You time?”
When do you allow yourself to BE without any distractions or drive to constantly be going or doing?
We all need time to reset... do you take it?

02/17/2021

.
Giving direct advice has a time and place.
That time and place is usually after boosting intrinsic motivation by asking great questions.
Give it a try on your friends, partner, or family. You might see or shifts as opposed when you just tell them what to do.

02/14/2021

Does this look like you this Valentine’s Day?!
☹️
Just remember that you don’t need a “lover” to feel good about yourself.

Take pause today and give yourself a moment of appreciation for the friends, family, accomplishments and sh*t you have endured in life!

Our narrative is always being written and every part of our journey has something to cherish... even the most difficult parts.

Sending love and appreciation to you today and all days!
🙏🏽

02/12/2021

Most universities and colleges will have access to the Strong assessment but you can also talk to your therapist/psychologist about taking it too!
Shout-out to whatever bug bit me for the 5 seconds I was in my clusia at the end of the video.
👿

02/07/2021

I’m so grateful that nurse dropped her sage wisdom on me that day!!!
🙏🏽
What’s some wisdom that sticks with you?!

02/04/2021

This took me forever to make...
😅
Hope it helps SOMEBODY!
🙌🏽

02/02/2021

Everyone can grieve a breakup differently and it’s important to process and express whatever you feel.

I hope eventually you embrace that there is no freedom quite like being single (especially when you don’t have kids).

It’s not to say this is better or worse, but different chapters of our lives have perks to enjoy.
🙌🏽

02/01/2021

Take your mental health one step at a time.

The most meaningful changes we make in our lives are never all at once!
🙌🏽

01/28/2021

Connecting through our emotions is definitely not easy for all of us.

But learning to name what we are feeling and expressing it to others is an important part of forming close connections!

These audios are getting too personal.. 🫠 Personallyyyy I think it’s always worth collecting the experience even when we don’t know how it will turn out. . And yes, so many things in life don’t go the way we hoped. 🫥 But it doesn’t always mean it wasn’t worth the effort or experience. ✨ If we are reflective sometimes we can glean something from the experience that aids our growth. 🌱 . #reflection #reallife #therapist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #keepgoing #keepgrowing

Get OUTTA those modes of comparison! ✋🏽 They minimize the uniqueness of your own journey and may leave your strengths under utilized if you believe you should be like somebody else! 🫥 Briefs moments of comparison.. may be okay in SOME instances… but prolonged modes of comparison?… Often take gas out of our tanks instead of fueling us up. 🫠 . Stay in your lane and try to grow from the mile you are currently on. 🙌🏽 #comparison #comparisonisthethiefofjoy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #therapy #therapist

SON OF A… 😫 For real the truth is a supportive therapist will help you LEAVE a limiting comfort zone for more rewarding opportunities! 🙌🏽 But a lot of therapy is learning to lean into discomfort for the sake of future mental health peace. 💯 Keep going my friends! ✨🛋️✨ #therapy #therapyiscool #therapyworks #gettingoutofmycomfortzone #therapist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters

This one feels personal for all of us chronic doers. 🫠 Sometimes we do so much and keep moving because we are avoiding something heavy. 😓 I have lived this truth and let me tell you.. the journey is so much lighter and more rewarding when we pause to take the weight off our backs. 💯 Hope you have the courage to face what you are running from my friend. . #therapy #avoidance #nonstop #trauma #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #therapist

Welll…. damn… 😅 For real I LOVE these questions and this energy… because if us as therapists aren’t practicing what we preach then what are we doing? 💯 It’s not on perfection but in believing the message to the point that we model the behavior in our own lives. 🙌🏽 Feel free to ask your therapist these questions and point them towards me if they get upset. 🫠😂👌🏽 #therapy #therapyiscool #therapyworks #practicewhatyoupreach #therapist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters

Love you dad. ✨ Take care of yourself out there my friends.. and remember suppressing how you feel is never the answer. 🙌🏽 Release your truth.. no matter how complicated it is. 🖤 . #griefjourney #griefsupport #griefhealing #grief #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #therapist

“Heyyyy… who doesn’t need therapy?! Ya know. I know I do…” 🤓 Throwing me under the bus like that?!?? 😳🚌🫠 For reallll, some times our job as therapists is to help you understand the dynamics you are in AND help YOU to advocate for yourself. 🙌🏽 There are specific cases where a therapist may intervene or be a bridge to help directly.. but in the long run we want you to be able to speak your truth to whoever needs to hear it. 💯 . #therapy #therapyiscool #therapist #mentalhealthprofessionals #mentalhealthawareness #psychologist #therapyworks

What is unfamiliar and new can often create temporary stress and anxiety EVEN WHEN the behavior is good for us. 💯 Try not to trade a short-term feeling uncomfortable for a long-term mental health disturbance. 🙌🏽 It will get easier as you press forward. ✨🛋️✨ . #therapy #therapyiscool #therapist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #psychologist

#treatyourself 💯 Listen… I’m not saying a Salted Caramel Truffle blizzard is going to solve your mental health problems…. ✨🍦✨ but… you may feel something well deserved after the hard work of therapy. 🛋️ Whether it’s a sweet treat or pause in appreciation of yourself… I hope you give yourself the credit for leaning in towards the difficult things. 🙌🏽 . #therapy #therapy #therapyiscool #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #psychologist

This is a hot topic: IS THERAPY JUST VENTING?!? 🧐 She short answer is NO… absolutely not. 🛑 However, Can therapy sometimes LOOK or FEEL like venting?… ❓ Yes… and whether this is good or bad for you depends on how you are currently doing, what your goals are, and if it is helping! (More on this in the next vid).. 🛋️ . #therapy #maintenance #change #therapist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #therapyiscool

Welp that explains it… 😂 I don’t think I’ll ever use the word again once this trend fades. ✌🏽 . #notdemure #demure #socialmediatrends #therapist #themoreyouknow

Even as therapists, we may be concerned for someone, we may have data/research to backup that what they are doing may be harmful…AND they still get to decide how they are going to live their life. 💯 If you are chronically trying to save people, remind yourself that you can only call out to them and see if they want help. 👋 Otherwise you may find yourself exhausted trying to drag those along who don’t want to be saved. 🛟🛑😫 . #chronichelper #selfsacrifice #helper #therapist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #psychologist

We ALL, no matter the age, need room for experimentation and creativity. ✨🐘✨ Sadly as we age we can feel limited and put less effort into finding new journeys to embark on. 🫥 For our mental health and continued growth experimenting and being open to new possibilities are imperative. 💯 Hope you can find your childlike, curious self within. 🙌🏽 . #kids #innerchild #innerchildhealing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #therapist #growth

Athletes can face such unique and intense pressure outside of them trying to maximize performance. 😓 We break down the role of sports psychologists, the use of guided imagery, and define what the heck is flow all in episode 117 of the @welcometogrouptherapypod ⚽️🏓🏂🏅 Thanks as always for your questions and feedback! 🎧 #mentalhealthpodcast #sportperformance #sportpsychology #mentalhealthawareness #psychology #therapy

Avoidance TRIGGERED because the cognitive dissonance is real… 🫠 This is far too common especially when people have rampant self-criticism going on upstairs. 🧠😫 The good news is we can learn how to treat ourselves with more compassion AND becoming accepting of others niceties. 🙌🏽 But working through what feels comfortable/familiar may not be good for us is where the work starts. 🛋️ . #selfcriticism #negativeselftalk #selfdeprecating #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #therapist #psychologist

I WANT THE DATA!!!! 📊 Those SAD summer numbers have got to be on the rise.. 📈 I’ve never in my life wanted summer to be over faster… 😫 Almost there… almost… 🍃🍁🎃👻 . #summertimesadness #seasonalaffectivedisorder #seasonaldepression #heatwave #mentalhealthmatters #therapist #psychologist

“Oh my.. heavens!” 😲 Time for a new therapist! ✌🏽😂 In all seriousness.. we don’t always have to match with our therapist on all things. Sometimes differences keep us in check and progressing! 💯 But your preferences matter so find the connection that you need for the good of your mental health. 🛋️ . #therapy #therapyiscool #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #therapist #psychologist

These words hit hard… just like some of those after session reflective sits.. 🛋️ It is a real privilege to get to know so many people on a personal level.. when you know how incredible they are. 💯 Yet, mental health lows often block our light from shining. 🌘 We can move through those dark times friends. It may not be easy, but you deserve to be your authentic self and light up the world for others. ✨ . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #therapy #therapyiscool #therapist #psychologist

The struggle is REAL… 😅 Yes, sometimes we just laugh and let it out! 🤣 Other times… we gotta steer the therapeutic ship back on track and it is TOUGH. 🥲 Some of you are too funny for your own good anddddd some of us use humor to derail from being vulnerable.. 🤓 We got our eyes on ya… the best we can… 🛋️👀 . #humor #therapy #darkhumor #therapyiscool #therapist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #psychologist
