Plan ahead for your rainy three-day weekend by ordering a copy of our Director of Counseling's new book, which is full of wisdom and encouragement for rainy seasons in your own life:

“Feasting with joy in his daily provision shifts my focus from what is lacking to what is plenty. Because His loving presence is my strength and comfort and protection, I have hope in the uncertainties of life.”
” --Audra Dahl, Into Your Hands, O Lord

This kind of up-close, gentle care draws near to the heart of Christian counseling.

Many of our counselors are also moms themselves, but we all attempt to bring this same compassion, patience, and nurturing spirit into the way we care for clients.

This Mother’s Day, we’re grateful for mothers and the many ways they offer "not only the gospel of God but their own selves" in care for others.

Happy Mother’s Day. 🌷

This Mental Health Month, don't forget that

➡️ Sometimes anxiety, burnout, or despair are intensified by exhaustion, dehydration, or lack of nourishment.
➡️ Before deep processing, your body may need rest and regulation.
➡️ Caring for your body is not separate from mental health—it’s often the starting point.

Time for a water/snack/nap break, folks!🥛🍞💤

Let’s be honest…
The Star Wars saga might’ve gone differently if Darth Vader had seen a counselor. And the Empire probably had excellent insurance coverage.

Our recommendations:
Episode 1: Play therapy with Heather Hogue
Episode 2: Premarital counseling with Aaron Spaight
Episode 3: Grief counseling with Jena Bennett
Episode 4: CBT with Rebeca Meyer
Episode 5: Trauma therapy with Deborah Shields
Episode 6: Identity therapy with Stephanie Collins

Or: Read the bios www.rushcreekcounseling.org and “searched his feelings” to find a counselor.

Laughter actually helps your body shift gears—it lowers stress, lightens your mood, and gives your mind a break from the constant “to-do” list in the background.

Weekend call to action: choose one intentionally joyful moment this weekend—watch something funny, spend time with someone who makes you laugh, or be silly with your kids.

A little laughter can go a long way in helping you reset your nervous system for the week ahead.

A biblical reminder on this Wednesday that even your biggest stressors cannot separate you from the love of God in Christ.
