Firefly Health aims to be place where clients can find top quality mental health care. Founded by Rhianna and Henry, this is our third evolution of a mental health private clinic. Why 3 you may ask...Each move has brought us closer to family. Originally meeting in Colorado over 15 years ago, we lived the mountain life and opened Blue Water Counseling, private practice and therapeutic wilderness programs. As we began planning to start our own family, we made the decision to move east and landed in Asheville, North Carolina. While there we opened Smoky Mountain Counseling which grew into a thriving practice. Now with our own family in tow, we followed the call to put down roots near family in NWI.
We share an approach to therapy which highlights the inherent wisdom and potential for healing within each client. We also recognize that emotional wounding happens in relationship and is therefore healed in healthy relationship. Thus, building and tending the therapeutic relationship is an important and intentional process.
In therapy we help clients develop healthy boundaries, strengthen emotional regulation, and deepen self connection. Bringing a mindfulness component to therapy, we work with clients to cultivate mindful awareness which enables them to stay present in the moment. This is where change can occur. Mindful awareness also helps build the foundation of one's mind body connection which is central to the somatic experience of the healing process. Evidence continues to show that emotions are stored in the body as well as the mind. Practically speaking, practicing mindfulness is like building a muscle which helps address challenging emotions and behaviors.
It is important to remember that therapy looks different for each person as each person's history is different and every individual has different goals for therapy. We will talk about what your goals are!
In the coming months and years we are excited to have other providers join us at FFHC and dream up even more ways to be of service to the community.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons and all reasons are valid. Mental health is as important as physical health. Research shows that emotions are stored throughout our bodies, not just in our minds and memories. Thus mental health and physical health are interdependent.

Therapy offers the opportunity to consciously make change. Every individual has an inherent ability for healing. While symptom management may be a component of treatment, healing is a primary objective.
