Mental Health, Reimagined: A New Approach

By Elisabeth Plutko, Co-Founder Revelations Counseling & Wellness

This May, as we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re invited to pause and consider what it really means to be well—not just mentally, but physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At Revelations Counseling & Wellness, we believe these parts of the self are deeply connected. That belief is what inspired my sister, Emily Heyl, and I to open our counseling and wellness practice right here in Wexford.

We started with a simple but powerful vision: to create a space where healing could happen in a more complete and connected way. As mental health professionals and wellness advocates, we saw a need for something more than siloed care—a place where counseling didn’t exist in isolation but alongside movement, nourishment, and the pursuit of self-understanding. And so, Revelations Counseling & Wellness was born.

Our approach is rooted in integration. We offer mental health counseling (for individuals and groups), nutrition coaching, personal training, reiki, yoga and self-mastery programs, all under one roof. Each service stands on its own, but they’re designed to work together—to support our clients in finding balance, strength, and resilience in all areas of life. We offer these services for both children and adults.  

In our work, we’ve seen time and again how deeply mental health is influenced by the body—and how the body, in turn, responds to our mental and emotional lives. A breakthrough in therapy might come after a long walk. A sense of peace might emerge after a yoga session. A shift in self-confidence might begin in the gym. Healing is not linear, and it rarely fits into neat boxes. That’s why our team collaborates across disciplines, ensuring that care is as dynamic as the people we serve.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage you to check in with yourself—honestly and gently. How are you really doing? What do you need more of? What would help you feel more connected to yourself, to others, or to the world around you? What goals do you have for yourself for the second half of 2025 and what steps can you take to accomplish those goals? Whether you’re seeking support for a specific challenge or simply wanting to grow in a new direction, you don’t have to do it alone.

Our doors are open. And we’re honored to be part of a community that believes in whole-person care. To view a complete list of our services you can view our website at RevelationsCounselingWellness.com. We hope to see you soon and we look forward to partnering with you on your wellness journey!
