Memorial Day invites us to pause and remember the individuals who gave their lives in military service - it is a time to reflect on sacrifice, honor loved ones who are no longer with us, and acknowledge the lasting impact their service has on families and communities.

At Anacortes Psych & Wellness, we recognize the courage, sacrifice, and humanity behind that service. We also recognize that for many veterans, military families, and loved ones, this day can carry grief, reflection, pride, and complicated emotions all at once.

As a community, we have an opportunity to care for one another in meaningful ways. Sometimes support looks like gathering together. Sometimes it looks like listening without trying to fix. Sometimes it is simply checking in with someone who may be carrying more than we can see.

Today, we honor those who did not return home and extend gratitude to the families and communities who continue to carry their memory forward.

Wherever this Memorial Day finds you, we hope you find moments of connection, reflection, peace, and support. As a military culture informed practice, we are committed to understanding and honoring the unique experiences, values, and challenges faced by service members, veterans, and their families.

Today, on Mental Health Provider Appreciation Day, we want to recognize and celebrate the clinicians who help carry the emotional weight of our community with compassion, skill, and humanity.

At Anacortes Psych & Wellness, our clinicians do far more than provide therapy sessions. They create spaces where people can exhale, feel understood, rebuild trust, process grief, strengthen relationships, heal from trauma, and reconnect with themselves.

This work requires deep empathy, continued learning, emotional presence, patience, and resilience. Behind every session is a clinician who is thoughtfully preparing, supporting, documenting, collaborating, advocating, and showing up fully for the people they serve.

We are incredibly proud of our team and deeply grateful for the care they provide to children, teens, adults, couples, and families throughout our community. The impact of this work often happens quietly, behind closed doors, but it changes lives every single day.

To our clinicians at APW, thank you for the warmth, authenticity, professionalism, and heart you bring into this work. Thank you for helping create an environment where people feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for.

And to mental health professionals everywhere, thank you for the work you do that so often goes unseen, but never unnoticed. Your presence matters. Your care matters. You matter. 💚

Clients this week may notice a few changes as we have shifted some of our offices at to better support our play therapy space and storage for children’s materials.

Each of our offices is intentionally designed and thoughtfully decorated by our Clinical Director to create a warm, safe, and inviting environment that supports meaningful therapeutic work across all ages.

We are truly grateful for the flexibility and understanding our clients have shown during this time, both throughout the recent construction & expansion for and as we continue making adjustments to better support the children and families we serve.

These updates allow us to care for our youngest clients more fully while maintaining the same level of comfort and intention throughout the practice. We are so grateful to grow in this beautiful space and to continue supporting our wonderful community!

As we reflect on her passing yesterday, we want to pay respects and honor the life of Dr. Edith Eger, a Holocaust survivor, psychologist, and teacher who leaves behind a legacy that has profoundly shaped the field of mental health.

At Anacortes Psych & Wellness, her influence is deeply woven into the way we approach therapy. Her teachings on resilience, choice, and the possibility of healing, even in the aftermath of profound trauma, continue to guide the work we do with our clients each day.

Dr. Eger reminded us that healing is not about forgetting what we have been through, but about transforming our relationship with it. Even in our most painful experiences, there is the potential for growth, meaning, and freedom.

Her legacy lives on in the therapeutic relationships we build, the compassion we hold, and the belief that change is always possible. We are deeply grateful for the impact she has had on this field and on the countless lives she has touched.

This is the view from the start line of this Saturday’s FIRST Annual Women’s Wellness Run!

At Anacortes Psych & Wellness, we believe healing doesn’t just happen in an office… it also happens in moments like these. Mental health is supported through movement, nature, and through connection.

The Women’s Wellness Run, benefiting follows the shoreline along Cap Sante Marina from Seafarers Memorial Park. Pair the gorgeous scenery and ocean air with intentional movement, and you create a natural reset for both body and brain. Not only does this event support rhythmic movement (through walking or running), which helps regulate the nervous system and reduces stress, it also increases connection with others in our wonderful community!

Join us for the first annual Women’s Wellness Run and experience the impact of movement, nature, and community!

✨ Rethinking Resolutions with Compassion ✨

As therapists, we notice how traditional resolutions can create pressure. This year, try a gentler approach:

🌱 Monthly themes > year-long demands.
Choose a theme each month so goals feel flexible and manageable. Think “rest,” “connection,” or “movement”. As the month comes up, feel free to shift the theme. Put a note on your bathroom mirror so you remember to live with intention.

💛 Lead with self-compassion.
Progress isn’t linear. Being kind to yourself is part of the work.

🌅 Every day is a fresh start.
You don’t need the perfect moment to begin again. Some days, a goal just isn't going to be the focus and that is okay.

🎯 Try SMART goals when structure helps.
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound: tools to support you, not pressure you. If the goal seems overwhelming, break it into smaller steps. Smaller and smaller until you can start.

Small steps count. You don’t need perfection to grow. 💫
