Four years ago, Vital Minds Therapy was just an idea. Today, it’s a 10-room therapy practice with a beautiful lobby, coffee bar, and an incredible team of therapists serving the Las Vegas community. This space represents a lot of long days, hard decisions, growth, risks, learning, and believing in something before it existed. I’m so grateful for every client, clinician, referral partner, friend, and family member who has been part of this journey. We built this for our community, and we hope when you walk through our doors, you feel welcomed, supported, and cared for. Welcome to Vital Minds Therapy. 💗

Clark County is launching a free late-night recreation program for teens this summer at four community centers across the Las Vegas Valley.

Beginning June 9 through July 31, teens ages 13–18 can participate in free activities from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Cambridge, Torrey Pines, Walnut, and Whitney recreation centers. Programs include basketball, boxing, DJ classes, fitness training, mentorship opportunities, and workshops.

Clark County officials say the initiative was created in partnership with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police after reviewing crime data and identifying areas experiencing increases in youth violence. The goal is to provide safe, structured activities for teenagers during summer evenings while school is out.

Participation is free, though parents must complete a one-time registration before teens attend. Walk-ins are welcome.

Officials say the program will be evaluated throughout the summer and could expand to additional recreation centers in the future if successful.

📍 Participating locations:
• Cambridge Recreation Center
• Torrey Pines Resource Community Center
• Walnut Recreation Center
• Whitney Recreation Center

DBT Skills : Module : Emotion Regulation. Skill. Understanding Emotions.

Emotions are crucial in navigating everyday life. Many of life's problems can be resolved by better emotional awareness.

"I need a drink after that"
"The day I've had.."
"She made me so angry"
"He had such road rage .."
"It's like treading on eggshells coming home from
school/college/work''...

Emotional awareness is key to emotion regulation. Then not needing to change the way we feel with anger outbursts, unhealthy lifestyle choices :drink, drugs, feeding our feelings, overeating, spending, shopping, gambling, other forms of unhealthy ways of coping /self harm.

Most of us have a more than reasonable grasp on emotional literacy.
We know that we need the so called ' negative emotions' as much as the feel good 'positive emotions'.

If we've never experienced sadness then we wouldn't know joy.[ ie :the movie Inside Out and its sequel].

Yet still we go about our day, or many of us do - blaming external issues for rising levels of stress, overwhelm, reactivity.

DBT can really help us with this.
