Today the four social workers of the group spent time in an ethics training put on by the UMHB social work department 📚 because ethical care isn’t optional. It is foundational.

We believe:

✨ Our clients deserve the highest standard of care
✨ Ongoing education makes us stronger clinicians
✨ Integrity should guide every clinical decision

We’re grateful to serve this community and proud to do the work well. 💛 Thanks for hosting us today UMHB!

When your brain won’t slow down… put your hands to work 🧠✨

Repetitive, rhythmic movement (like folding laundry, coloring, knitting, or organizing) helps calm the overthinking parts of the brain and regulate your nervous system.

Busy hands = calmer brain.

Next time your thoughts feel loud:
• Do a small, simple task
• Try a quick craft or puzzle
• Knead dough or play with putty

Even sitting at the salon while your hair color processes and want to do something else? Bring a small project instead of scrolling. 💇‍♀️

It’s not avoidance, it’s regulation. 💛

Valentine’s Day PSA from your friendly neighborhood therapists 💌

If your relationship has you saying:
• “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem” — when you’ve actually been doing the work
• You’re calling anxiety “chemistry”
• You’re rewriting red flags as “they just love differently”
• You’ve lived through “we are never ever getting back together” (and then… getting back together)

That’s not romance. That’s your nervous system asking for a snack and a boundary.

Healthy relationships feel calm.
Safe.
Predictable in a good way.
More peace, less “this is why we can’t have nice things.”

Pop culture moment (purely observational):
🎶 Taylor Swift lyrics have given us an entire emotional vocabulary... but therapy helps you decide which lines you no longer want to live inside.

This Valentine’s Day, choose:
❤️‍🩹 regulation over chaos
🚩 clarity over confusion
🧠 mental health over the bare minimum

Signed,
— therapists who believe in secure attachment

🎉 It’s Chelsea’s birthday week, so let's introduce her!

Chelsea brings over a decade of experience supporting children, families, and individuals across diverse settings, including local foster care, non-profit agencies, and juvenile probation. For the past seven years, she has been in private practice, where she has focused on doing deep, meaningful trauma work.

Trauma is Chelsea’s area of expertise. She is fully trained in TF-CBT and EMDR, with a strong foundation in evidence-based care. She also has extensive training in play therapy and is just a few short hours away from becoming a Registered Play Therapist (almost there!). Chelsea is currently working toward full EMDR certification, engaging in additional consultation to continue sharpening her skills and showing up as the best possible provider for her clients.

While Chelsea specializes in working with children, she also sees adults, and is known for blending clinical expertise with warmth, creativity, and connection. She thrives on staying connected to the community and loves finding thoughtful ways to integrate Willow into the broader community.

✨ Fun fact: Chelsea recently took up golf and has developed a strong love/hate relationship with the sport...but remains committed!! (most days)

It’s that time of year when everyone is making resolutions for a healthier life. But with so much conflicting—and sometimes misleading—information out there, it can be hard to know what truly benefits your brain. Let’s cut through the noise and explore proven, science-backed strategies for maintaining brain health with our neuropsychologist, Dr. Joy Clark.

1) Move your body! Regular physical activity improves memory, mood, and reduces risk of cognitive decline. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.

2) Nourish your brain. A Mediterranean-style diet—rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins—supports optimal brain function.

3) Prioritize sleep. Adults need 7–9 hours of quality sleep nightly. Good sleep helps consolidate memory and clear brain toxins.

4) Stay mentally active. Challenge your brain with puzzles, reading, learning new skills, or playing musical instruments to keep your mind sharp.

5) Connect with others. Strong social connections lower the risk of dementia and improve overall well-being. Stay engaged with friends and family.

6) Manage stress. Chronic stress can harm the brain. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, mindfulness, or yoga to protect your mental health.

7) Control vascular risk factors. Keep blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar in healthy ranges. What’s good for your heart is good for your brain!

As we close out 2025, we’re taking a moment to pause, reflect, and feel incredibly grateful 🌿

This year at Willow Counseling Collective, our team completed 324 psychological evaluations 🧠 and provided 3,748 therapy sessions 🤍 in our community.

Behind every number is a human story — courage, vulnerability, healing, and growth ✨ We are deeply honored that so many people trusted us with their experiences, their pain, and their hope. That trust is never taken lightly.

We truly love the work we do 💚 It is a privilege to walk alongside our clients, to witness resilience, and to hold space during some of life’s hardest and most meaningful moments.

Thank you to our incredible team for your dedication, compassion, and heart 🌱 And thank you to every client who allowed us to be part of your journey — it is an honor beyond words.

Here’s to continued healing, connection, and growth in the year ahead ✨🤍

✨ Wishing you peace this holiday season from us at Willow Counseling Collective.

11/24/2025

This week we traditionally enter into a space of gratitude. Did you know that gratitude can light up parts of the brain tied to emotion, memory, and even our natural reward systems? Research suggests the amygdala and hippocampus respond to gratitude helping boost mood and giving us a little hit of dopamine. (And of course, gratitude isn’t a cure for depression/anxiety, but it can be a supportive practice)
So we’ll go first!
1️⃣Here at Willow, we are first and foremost grateful for one another. The opportunity to work together as a team of 5 like minded women is a dream! We challenge and encourage each other daily.
2️⃣Second, we are grateful for our landlords who provide us this space to practice! They are kind and generous and take great care of us.
3️⃣And last but certainly far from least, we are grateful for our clients. Those of you who show up and entrust us with your healing journey. This space feels sacred because of you.

11/14/2025

As the holiday season approaches, we want to remind you that grief is not a linear journey. It’s normal to experience a range of emotions—sometimes all at once. If you’re finding this time of year difficult, please know you’re not alone. Take it one day at a time, be gentle with yourself, and reach out for support if you need it.
