Continuing Your Journey: Support After Therapy

Whether you’re completing your time with us, relocating, or just taking a break, we’re proud of the work you've done. This page is here to support your continued well-being, with tools and guidance to help you navigate the next steps — and a reminder that you can always return.

A New Chapter in Your Wellness Journey

Completing therapy is a significant milestone, and we want to acknowledge the courage, vulnerability, and hard work you've invested in your personal growth. This transition doesn't mean you're alone in your ongoing journey—rather, it marks a new chapter where you'll continue applying the insights and skills you've developed.

This page is designed to provide you with resources, reminders, and pathways back to support whenever you might need them. Many people find they benefit from occasional check-ins or returning to therapy during new life transitions, and we're always here when those moments arise.

Remember that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness, and maintaining your mental wellbeing is a lifelong practice—much like physical health requires ongoing attention.

Celebrating Your Treatment Journey

During your time with us, you may have explored and developed several valuable skills:
  • Recognizing and challenging unhelpful thought patterns
  • Building emotional awareness and regulation techniques
  • Developing healthy boundaries in relationships
  • Practicing mindfulness and present-moment awareness
  • Implementing stress management strategies
  • Enhancing communication skills
Your progress isn't measured only by how you feel when things are going well, but by how you respond to challenges using the resources you've developed. Take a moment to reflect on the distance you've traveled and the strength you've demonstrated throughout this process.

Continuing Self-Care Practices

Self-care isn't selfish – it's essential maintenance for your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Keep caring for your mind and body with these tools.

Mental Health Apps

These apps can support your mental wellness through guided activities, mood tracking, and relaxation tools:

  • Insight Timer – Free meditations, sleep sounds, and breathwork
  • Calm – Meditation, music, and sleep stories to ease your mind
  • Smiling Mind – Mindfulness app developed by psychologists and educators

Worksheets

Self-paced resources can help you keep the momentum going. Here are a few therapist-recommended materials from Therapist Aid:

Podcasts & Audio Resources

  • Mental Illness Happy Hour

Journaling Prompts

Regular reflection can help maintain awareness of your thoughts and feelings. Consider these prompts:

  • What brought me joy or peace today?
  • What challenged me today, and how did I respond?
  • What am I grateful for in this moment?
  • What boundaries do I need to maintain or establish?
  • What would help me feel more connected to myself or others?

Staying Connected to Third Space

Just because therapy is ending (for now), that doesn’t mean the door is closed.

We know that life can shift – and sometimes that means taking a break from therapy. Whether you’re relocating, pausing for travel, or feeling like you’ve made the progress you needed, we support your decision.

But should you ever want to return, we’d be honored to welcome you back. Here’s how it works:
  • Reach out anytime – Just fill out our appointment form or email us to get started again
  • Same therapist, if possible – If your former therapist has availability, we’ll reconnect you. If not, we’ll thoughtfully match you with another member of our team
  • No pressure, no judgment – Whether you’ve been away for a month or a year, we’re glad to reconnect when you’re ready

Crisis Resources & Emergency Support

If you are in crisis or need immediate help, please don’t wait.

Third Space is not a crisis center and we do not provide emergency services – but there are people ready to help, 24/7.
  • Call 988: National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (24/7)
  • Text HOME to 741741: Crisis Text Line (24/7)
  • Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room if you're in immediate danger
If you’re feeling unsafe, overwhelmed, or in emotional distress, you deserve help now – not later. These resources are free, confidential, and always available.
