Sometimes our therapists put words to the emotions so many of us feel but struggle to name.
This poem, written by our therapist Amelia Abernathy, explores the pull of black-and-white thinking and the courage it takes to inch toward the middle — where healing, clarity, and color begin to emerge.

Earlier this week Derek Bylsma shared some ways to calm your mind & body —

“Stress and anxiety are part of being human—but too often, we try to push through instead of slowing down and addressing what’s really happening.
At Millennium Counseling Center, we know that small, intentional practices can make a big difference. Breathing exercises, grounding techniques, movement, and connection are all accessible tools that anyone can use to manage stress in the moment.

But sometimes, what’s needed is deeper support. That’s where therapy comes in—helping you not only cope, but also understand the root of what’s driving your stress and build lasting resilience.

I’m proud of the work our team is doing to reduce stigma, break down misconceptions, and provide resources that help people feel less alone.”

💭 What strategies do you use when stress or anxiety show up in your life?

💙 Today we pause to recognize 988 Day — a reminder that help is always just three digits away.

The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 for anyone in emotional distress, experiencing a mental health crisis, or supporting someone who is. You are not alone, and reaching out is a sign of strength.

At Millennium Counseling Center, we believe that asking for help is the first step toward healing. Whether it’s a phone call, a counseling session, or simply telling a friend, your voice matters and your life matters.

📞 If you or someone you love is struggling, dial 988 for immediate support.
And if you’re ready for ongoing care, we’re here to walk alongside you.

✨ You deserve hope. You deserve healing. You deserve tomorrow.

Derek Bylsma, LCPC recently shared his thoughts on starting a recovery journey. Read below;

“Early recovery can feel like standing at the bottom of a mountain, staring up.

The climb looks overwhelming. The path is unclear. And it’s tempting to believe you can’t make it.

But here’s the truth: recovery is rarely about speed or perfection—it’s about consistency, community, and courage. One step at a time. One day at a time.
At Millennium Counseling Center, we walk alongside people in that climb, because no one should have to do it alone.”

What’s one piece of encouragement you’d give to someone just starting their recovery journey?

✨ “What should I expect from therapy?”
We hear this question all the time—and it’s a good one. Taking the step to reach out can feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t know what therapy actually looks like.

At Millennium, we want you to know that there are no silly questions when it comes to starting therapy. Here are some of the most common ones we hear.

At the end of the day, therapy is about creating a safe space for you to show up as you are. Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, or growth—we’ll walk alongside you. 💙

👉 What’s a question you’ve always had about therapy? Drop it in the comments—we’d love to answer.
