We’re officially obsessed 🍩✨

Harbor Counseling is feeling extra loved by our new neighbors at Hero Diner & Valley Post! Between the donuts, the coffee, and the all-around good vibes, this place has already become a favorite stop (and let’s be honest… a great way to start or end a therapy day 😌).

If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check them out!! Supporting local never tasted so good. Welcome to the neighborhood, friends! 💙🍩☕

✨ Staff Spotlight: Amechele Toups✨
I want to take a moment to publicly recognize Amechele, who truly keeps the wheels turning at Harbor Counseling.
Running a therapy practice takes far more than what people see from the outside: scheduling, communication, insurance coordination, organization, and a thousand small details that matter deeply to our clients and clinicians. Amechele shows up every day handling those details with care, patience, and steadiness.

She is often the first voice people hear when they reach out, and she does that role with warmth and professionalism. She supports our therapists, helps our clients feel grounded and informed, and manages the flow of the office in a way that allows me to focus on clinical work and growth.

No office runs well without someone anchoring it, and Amechele does exactly that. I am grateful for the work she does, the heart she brings, and the way she helps make Harbor Counseling a place that feels organized, supportive, and human.
Thank you, Amechele, for all you do. We are better because of you. 💙

Couch update: After a month of procrastination, no plan, and using incorrect drill bits… it’s fixed.
By “fixed” I mean: if it collapses, that’s between you and the Lord. 🙃🛠️ don’t be surprised if I ask you to sign a waiver the next time you come in 🤣🤣🤣

🇺🇸Happy Veterans Day from Harbor Counseling Services 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country, and we do so from a place that is deeply personal to us.

At Harbor Counseling, we are proudly pro-military. Our practice has been shaped and strengthened by the sacrifices of those who have worn the uniform, especially those close to our hearts. My husband’s service and years in the military fundamentally shaped who I am, the work I do, and the ability I’ve had to build this practice. His sacrifice gave me the stability, resilience, and perspective I needed to create Harbor Counseling and serve our community the way we do today.

Because of veterans, because of their willingness to stand in the gap, we get to live in a country where we can openly talk about trauma, grief, mental health, and freedom. We can have conversations that in other parts of the world people cannot even acknowledge. That is a gift, and it is not lost on us.

To every veteran: thank you.
Thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, your sleepless nights, your resilience, and your unwavering service.
Thank you for protecting our freedoms, visible and invisible.
Thank you for allowing us, as mental health professionals, to do this sacred work in a country where healing is possible and voices can be heard.

We see you.
We honor you.
And we are grateful for you today and every day.

From our Harbor family to yours.
Happy Veterans Day. 🇺🇸💙

She has a gift for making people feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for, whether she’s supporting someone through anxiety, navigating life transitions, or helping kids and teens build emotional regulation and confidence.

One of the things we love most about Angie is her ability to balance professional wisdom with warmth and approachability. She maintains an environment where clients feel supported to be honest, messy, reflective, and human. Her sessions are judgment-free zones grounded in real connection and growth.

Angie is passionate about empowering clients to discover their strengths, lean into who they are, and move toward emotional and relational security. Her steady energy and her ability to meet people exactly where they are make her an invaluable part of our Harbor family.

There’s something simple yet deeply grounding about caring for another living thing, even something as small as our office fish. Taking a few quiet minutes to feed them, watch them swim, and notice their rhythm reminds us how connection and care don’t always need words.

At Harbor Counseling, we believe tending to others, whether it’s a pet, a plant, or a person, nourishes the soul just as much as it sustains life. 💙
