Halloween can be a time of great excitement, fun, creativity and adventure.
For some others it is a chance to be or feel quite scary—people sidle up to concepts, characters and images around death, afterlife—ghosts, zombies, undead, etc.

How do we handle our fear?

Perhaps the best way is to find your own unique way to be in it! For example, enjoy the candy, the trick or treat fun and admire the creative costumes. Decorate the house, the yard, the front stoop. Carve pumpkins, or attend a parade or pumpkin patch. Or watch a fun movie or tv show, make a favorite meal or special snack. Be with friends. And most importantly, enjoy the candy/treats without the fear!

Today is National Cat Day! A myriad of studies have shown animals bring comfort to young, old, and everyone in between. Check out our featured feline, Spoon. He was rescued at two weeks old and has been the perfect support.

The companionship of a cat (as well as other animals) underscores the deep attachment of love and care and constancy we all benefit from when we have that in our life. Hence, even in our most difficult and vulnerable moments, our animals will still love us, be there for us, and sometimes can feel even more attuned to our feelings than human beings.

In short, our animals can be a barometer for how we are doing and what is happening around us. A calm home means a calm cat; a frantic one creates uneasiness. How wonderfully comforting to have that presence there for us each and every day!

”It’s not your fault.”

That scene in Good Will Hunting stays with so many of us—not just because of what’s said, but because of what it represents: the moment someone finally feels safe enough to let their guard down.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you see yourself with compassion. At The Counseling Center, we create that kind of space—one where you don’t have to carry it all alone, where understanding replaces judgment, and healing begins with being seen.

Sometimes, the first step is hearing those words—“it’s not your fault”—for yourself. We must learn to accept and then let go of blame. As the saying goes, “underneath Blame is Shame,”— therapy can help to release those emotional burdens.

On a magnificent sunny day last week, we found ourselves on the lawn of the Bronxville School with some 450 students and faculty members supporting Mental Health Day. As we all know, students today are quite stressed out, and we hoped to offer some tools and simple tips to de-stress. Squishy, stretchy stress balls to squeeze away their anxiety were on hand. And we really loved assembling the colorful pinwheels that came with printed deep breathing tips. And the advice isn’t just for students! Teachers and Administrators can feel stress, too! Swipe to read our tips—Pinwheel not required!

Be a Transformer

This month, The Counseling Center began our annual appeal, reaching out to friends and neighbors who believe in the power of care and connection.

We know that therapy can be out of reach for many individuals and families, and we never want cost to be the reason someone can’t get help. With your support, we’re able to welcome new clients and offer care at a price they can manage.

Every contribution makes a real difference—helping us continue this good and meaningful work, one person at a time.

Fear can show up in many ways—feeling cautious, weak, scared, anxious, nervous, or worried. These emotions remind you that you care about safety, connection, and that you accept challenges that make you uncomfortable.

At the Counseling Center, we help you explore these feelings with compassion—learning how to face fear without letting it control you. You don’t have to manage it alone. 💛

If a particular stressor or problem is drawing all your focus and leaving you in a cloud of worry or negativity, try zooming the lens out to get a fuller, healthier view of your life. As the widening lens takes in your week, month, year, decade, you will be reminded of your strengths and values, of all the things you are proud of and grateful for. This helps to create a reset and place the problem in its proper perspective, where it now feels smaller and more manageable.

🍂✨ A Seasonal Shift Offers the Gift of Change

Changing seasons often feel like a fresh start—new air, new energy, new possibilities. Just like the seasons shift, we too can adjust, reset, and step into opportunities for growth—big or small.

Change might look like trying something new, reconnecting with someone, or even just pausing to reflect on what’s working and what’s not. The important thing about change is that it means capacity. Capacity to grow, to expand, and to move forward. 🌱

While change is powerful, it isn’t always easy. If you feel stuck or held back by stress, anxiety, or uncertainty, therapy can help clear the roadblocks so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. 💛

Take a breath, feel the breeze, and allow yourself to step into what’s next.

Anxiety is a common part of life—it’s not realistic to imagine living without it. The key is not to fight anxious thoughts (which usually creates more stress), but to reframe and make incremental adjustments.

Life often feels demanding unless we first center yourselves, and recognize our own stress thresholds. With busy jobs, family challenges, or caring for small children or aging parents, it’s easy to dismiss our own need for time to reset. Yet, creating inner space gives us more flexibility and freedom to handle what comes.

Often, anxiety shows up as catastrophizing—imagining the worst as a way to feel in control. This coping strategy makes sense, because worrying can feel like protection against being blindsided. But in the long run, it only increases anxiety.

The real path forward is awareness and acceptance: noticing what we can and cannot control, and gently releasing the rest. This shift allows us to respond to life’s demands with clarity instead of overwhelm.

This World Mental Health Day, the focus is on access—because care should be easy to reach when you need it, whether the issue feels big or small. At The Counseling Center, we make that first step simple: a free, safe conversation with our clinical director to find the right fit for you. Therapy isn’t always long-term—it can be a tune-up, a place to process what’s weighing on your mind, and a step toward relief and clarity. Access matters. You matter.

As the cliche goes, “you cannot tell a book by its cover.”
That said, what we show on the outside, when we approach can make an impact on another person. For example, when we offer a welcoming smile, it is that openness that most often elicits warmth and positivity and a wish to reciprocate —— in short, the person on the receiving end will smile as well.
Remembering that how we experience another’s emotional presentation matters, we feel better when someone beams with a smile, thus engendering reciprocal joy from us, too. Smiles usually beget more smiles and more smiles and more smiles😀😁😄😀😁😄😃😀! They tend to be contagious!
