Healing is a strange thing. It’s a journey that involves many ups and downs. In therapy, I often tell people that sometimes it feels like it gets worse before it gets better. You’ll have a breakthrough and are so encouraged that you are feeling better, but then you have a setback that makes you feel like all progress has been lost and you are backsliding. As discouraging as this can be, it is very normal and part of the process.

Every step forward that you take matters. Healing takes a lot of time and it’s important that you take care of yourself, especially in the times when things feel heavier. You are worth all of the ups and downs ♥️

I love this perspective on ending one year and entering another. 2025 was an exciting year! I got my clinical license and started my private practice - two goals I’ve been working on for a long time. I am so, so grateful for the clients that have come my way this year and all of the work I’ve been able to do with them so far.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me as I start this practice. Every shared post, prayer, and referral means a lot to me.

Looking forward to serving more people in more, exciting ways in the new year!

The post-celebration blues are real. It’s very normal to feel tired or down this time of year after all of the holiday festivities. Here are a few ways to cope!

With the holiday season coming to an end, it's normal if you find yourself having a hard time. Holidays can be stressful and bring about all kinds of emotions and difficult memories. Even when things are joyful and fun, it's common to experience what can be known as "post-celebration blues."

If you are struggling or wanting to look ahead and get started in therapy in the new year, give me a call at 409-203-5099. I'd love to help.

Today is a national day of remembrance. Days like these can bring up distressing feelings, and combined with the tragic events that happened yesterday, it makes sense that many people are grieving and experiencing intense emotions today. I love these reminders from SAMHSA. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself even if that means taking a break from social media/news coverage. We weren’t meant to consume so much tragic information all at once and have constant access to images and video clips of traumatic events.

Call or text 409-203-5099 if you are interested in starting therapy.

September is su***de prevention month. This can be a delicate topic and it carries so much weight. By learning about risk factors and being intentional about being kind and supportive to everyone we encounter, we can each do our part in preventing su***de. To anyone who has been affected by su***de in any way: You are not alone.

The flooding in central Texas has affected us all in different ways. Even when we are not directly impacted by a tragedy like this, we can still experience symptoms of trauma from constant exposure to the events or knowing someone who was impacted. This is known as secondary or vicarious trauma and the following symptoms are common:

Feelings of sadness or helplessness
Anxiety and fear
Emotional numbness
Trouble focusing or concentrating
Changes in appetite/sleep patterns

and many other symptoms.

If this is something you are struggling with, talking to a therapist can be helpful in processing your feelings and learning ways to cope. Call 409-203-5099, email katiemcgeelcsw@gmail.com, or visit katiemcgeelcsw.com to schedule a free session through the end of July.
