Definitely Not Therapy: Monthly Mental Wellness for Creatives is monthly event from 6-7 PM at Clearstory Arts Workspace, hosted by Walnut Street Publishing. This gathering is a wellness coaching space for creatives to reflect on where they are mentally, identify areas to focus on, and build a personalized map for reconnection.
Coaching differs from counseling in that it focuses on actionable strategies and forward movement, rather than addressing past trauma or deep emotional processing. It’s not therapy, but it’s just as essential—a judgment-free, forward-looking approach focused on actionable strategies and helping you move toward greater mental wellness and a place connect with community while you’re at it.
Facilitated by Regina Gee, the founder of Wellspring Coaching, these gatherings offer a unique perspective on mental health, particularly for those who feel disconnected or overwhelmed. Regina’s integrative approach, grounded in her background in Neuroscience, Anthropology, and Integrative Wellness, views depression not as a disorder, but as a signal of disconnection. She helps participants explore how disconnection from body, place, people, source, and hope might be affecting their mental well-being, and provides practical tools to find relief and reconnection.
