We’re so thankful for you, Sierra, and for the care you bring to Counseling Associates and those you serve!

Sierra James LCSW - Champion of Care Award

A special shout-out to our first-ever Sunshine Award recipient, Lucinda Levings, LPC. Lucinda was chosen for bringing positivity, support, and light to our team every day. 🌞 One voter said “everytime I see Lucinda, she is smiling. I don't think I have ever witnessed her seeming negative or grouchy. She makes sure to say hi in the hall and gives quick compliments on people's clothes, hair, etc. She also checks in if she thinks someone looks under the weather or stressed.” Thank you Lucinda for the positivity!

** shoutout to John McNail and Mcnail's Woodworks for the beautiful plagues again this year!

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE!!

’Tis the season for sugar, spice, and a little clinical creativity! ❄️🎄🏠
Our team spent the night building gingerbread houses and practicing some solid seasonal coping skills:
Step 1: Breathe.
Step 2: Don’t panic when the gingerbread walls fall down…. Or the roof
Step 3: Eat a little icing for grounding. 😂🍬

Help us pick the winner! Vote for the gingerbread house that brings you the most holly-jolly healing by giving it a like! ✨

🌿 Mental Health Reminder 🌿
Nobody starts out calm, wise, or strong — those are skills built through struggle, healing, and growth.
As says:
"The calmest people used to overreact.
The wisest people used to overthink.
Growth just needs a reason and effort, not perfection."
Let that sink in. 💭
✨ You don’t need to have it all figured out.
✨ You don’t need to be perfect to make progress.
✨ You just need a reason to keep going — and the courage to try again.
Where you are now is not where you’ll stay. Keep doing the work, even if it’s messy. Especially if it’s messy.
You’re not behind — you’re becoming. 💛

🧠✨ Mental Health Check-In ✨🧠
To the past version of you — the one who felt lost, overwhelmed, confused, or barely holding on…
Thank you.
You may not have had it all figured out. You may have stumbled, doubted, or felt stuck.
But guess what?
You survived.
And that survival gave this version of you the chance to grow, learn, and thrive.
As says so powerfully:
“Be kind to the version of you that had no clue what they were doing. That version survived, so this next version could thrive.”
💛 Healing isn’t linear.
💛 Growth isn’t always graceful.
But you’re here. You’re evolving. You’re doing the best you can.
Keep going. You're becoming someone incredible. 🌱

🧠💛 Mental Health Reminder 💛🧠
Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re growing.
As beautifully puts it:
"Give yourself grace while you organize your life at this level... That’s not a sign you’re falling behind, it’s proof you’re rising."
Life might be asking more of you right now than it ever has before — emotionally, mentally, spiritually. That’s not because you’re weak. It’s because you’re leveling up.
🌱 Growth is messy. Progress feels heavy sometimes.
🛑 Take breaks.
❤️ Be kind to yourself.
👣 And most importantly — keep going.
You’ve come so far already. Don’t stop now.

Hey you — yes, you — the one holding it together even when it feels like everything's falling apart.
