DESCRIPTION
What if therapy didn’t mean sitting on a couch in a quiet office? On this episode of Southaven Business Beat, we sit down with Anthony Wood and Brandy West from Desoto Family Counseling & Pediatric Therapy Center, a counseling group serving Southaven, DeSoto County, and the greater Memphis and Mid-South area. They walk us through a very different approach to mental health, one that can happen on a walking trail, on a boat, or with a fishing pole in your hand.
We cover the biggest misconception people carry about counseling, the warning signs to watch for in the coworkers and family members you see every day, and the simple tools you can use between sessions when your therapist is not on call. You will also hear why sleep and water might be the two most underrated habits for your mental health, and why they are also the hardest to stick to.
If you have ever felt too nervous to walk through a therapist’s door, this conversation is for you. It breaks down what a first visit actually looks like, how the practice matches you to the right therapist instead of the first available one, and what outdoor therapy really involves.
