NYC Mental Health Offerings for April 2025
Hi Friends,
Spring is finally on its way, bringing longer days, warmer weather, and the promise of fresh starts. When I was a little girl, my granny used to spend a whole weekend at the start of spring working in her garden. When she taught me how to weed the flowerbeds, she would tell me about the importance of removing things that were an impediment to growth.
I like to think that this season is a perfect reminder that growth and renewal are always possible—especially when we take the time to remove things that are not serving us. This month, please join me in focusing on embracing the season of renewal by refreshing my mind, nurturing my well-being, and weeding out the things that are preventing my full growth.
Wishing you all the best,
Veshonte & the IndieSpace Team
