It’s often easier to recognize signs of struggle – like anxiety or low mood – than it is to describe what mental wellness feels like. Unlike physical health, where we can tell the difference between a cold and something more serious, mental health isn’t always as clear.
This Wellness Assessment is designed to help you notice areas of well-being that might otherwise go overlooked. If many of your answers fall under “Some of the Time,” “Rarely,” or “None of the Time,” it may be a sign that something is getting in the way of your well-being.
If you’d like to talk through your results, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary consultation.
Below are some statements about feelings and thoughts.
Please tick the box that best describes your experience of each over the last 2 weeks.

If you take any action or inaction as a result of the content found on this site, this is based solely on your decision, and Inner Life Psychotherapy cannot be held liable for the consequences of such action or inaction.

This mindfulness group provides a supportive space to explore the benefits of mindful awareness while engaging in practical exercises each week.

Each session blends psychoeducation with opportunities to practice mindfulness through guided meditation and grounding exercises. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or seeking to deepen your practice, this group offers tools you can integrate into your daily routine to cultivate presence, improve focus, and build greater resilience. The goal is not perfection, but developing a compassionate awareness that can support both mental and emotional well-being over time.

The Life Transitions Group is designed for people experiencing major changes—such as career shifts, retirement, relocation, family changes, or loss. Transition often brings both possibility and uncertainty, and this group provides a place to process those experiences with others who are also in times of change. Through reflection, guided discussion, and shared support, participants will explore themes of identity, resilience, and adaptation. This group offers tools for coping with uncertainty while helping you move forward with confidence, connection, and renewed direction.

By the end of the series, members will gain tools and insights to strengthen their spiritual awareness and walk more intentionally with God.
Spirituality as Support is a group for those who wish to draw on their spiritual life as a resource for growth and well-being. In a respectful and inclusive environment, participants will explore how spiritual beliefs and practices – whether through prayer, meditation, sacred texts, or community – can provide comfort, resilience, and guidance in the midst of life’s challenges. Each session offers space for reflection, sharing, and gentle practices that help integrate spirituality into daily life. This group is open to people of all faith traditions and to those simply curious about the role spirituality can play in healing and support.
Strength in Stories is a narrative-based group that invites participants to share, reflect, and reframe the stories that have shaped their lives.

Together, the group creates space for honoring challenges, celebrating resilience, and rewriting personal narratives with greater clarity and compassion. This group is ideal for anyone seeking deeper self-understanding and a renewed sense of purpose in their journey.
Resilience Circle offers a supportive community where participants learn and practice coping skills to navigate anxiety, stress, and difficult emotions. Each session focuses on practical strategies – such as grounding, self-compassion, emotional regulation, and boundary-setting – that can help you build strength for both daily stress and larger life challenges. Alongside learning these tools, you’ll have the chance to share your experiences with others who understand, creating a safe and encouraging environment for growth. The goal is to leave each week feeling more equipped, more connected, and more hopeful.
