Updates and changes
I've been quiet and here is why
I’ve been quiet with intentionality.
After about 4 years of launching, relaunching, reconfiguring, and trying to figure out how in the world to have a practice and business that made sense, I realized I was just tired. I felt like I was running an uphill battle and was constantly losing. I was making money but I wasn’t doing what I loved or even what felt “worth it” for myself and my family. Our family needed a change. And we made tons of changes. In the past year, we had our second baby and we moved across the country to North Carolina, where we have enjoyed a more diverse and welcoming community. I made new friends. I quit the group practice I was a virtual therapist for. And I met other therapists who encouraged me. I decided to fully invest in my own thing.
So here is my new thing. I rebranded and relaunched my practice (mostly due to North Carolina policy/procedure) and am now Statz Therapy Services, PLLC. You can find me online here. I am focusing on serving bicultural South Asians and other marginalized communities. I’m networking. I’ve met some amazing Indian women who are community builders and true hustlers. I’m raising my prices and saying “no” more often. I may post on Instagram but I’m not driven by “therapist as an influencer = more clients”. I’m integrating my love of yoga into sessions and I’m going to be doing more treatment and intentional work with clients. I’m going to volunteer and help create community for people with my story. I’m going to be flexible with what my business needs and what I need, but I’m not going to overextend myself. I’m going to be better about writing more regularly and I’m going to really invest in nap time.
Thank you to everyone who has sat with me through this journey. Thank you for clicking open these posts when they land in your inbox. I know you don’t have to (and some of you are related to me and probably feel like you HAVE to) but you really don’t. Those 5 minutes you spend reading this fills my cup and I’m so grateful.
