In my control: my texts ✏️
Out of my control: the cryptic “k” reply 😂

In my control: my boundaries ✋
Out of my control: them thinking rules are suggestions 😬

In my control: my reactions 😌
Out of my control: the unsolicited advice 🙄

Moral: stay in your circle, the rest is just noise… and remember, you can’t please everyone 💛

🌿 “I finally found someone who gets it and actually helped me” 🌿
We hear this a lot at Willow Counseling Services—and honestly, it never gets old. 💛

Whether it’s infertility, postpartum, parenthood, loss, or traumatic birth, having someone who truly understands makes all the difference.

We focus on matching you with the right therapist, not just whoever has an opening. Each therapist draws from EMDR, IFS, DBT, Flash, and more—so therapy fits you, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Offices in Middletown & Dover, plus Telehealth throughout DE, PA, & FL

🎉 Help us welcome Ava, MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to the Willow Team! 🎉

Therapy with Ava is anything but stiff or blah. She mixes empathy with humor, and uses tools like IFS, Flash, and DBT to help you do more than just talk about what’s hard. With her, sessions feel safe, real, and sometimes even fun (because yes—you can laugh and heal). 💛

She will begin seeing clients in-person at our Middletown office in October. Drop a comment below to help us give her the warmest welcome!

Monday Reminder:
🌟 You’ve made it through 100% of your hardest days- Even the ones that felt impossible🌟

If today feels heavy, take a moment to breathe and remember how strong you really are.

💬 Please share this with someone who might need to hear it today. Sometimes a simple reminder can change everything.

Grief is something everyone experiences and it’s often complex. Grief of a child…well that is a grief that never leaves you.

People tell us ‘time heals,’ but the truth is, the grief ball doesn’t shrink. Some days it hits hard, taking the wind out of you, and some days it barely nudges you—but it’s always there.

Living with that grief doesn’t mean forgetting, and it doesn’t mean it gets easier in the way people expect. It means learning how to carry the ball, growing your life, learning to breathe through the ache, and how to keep going even when the world feels heavy. You are not alone. 💔

🦋 Forget therapy dogs—meet our therapy luna moth! She only lives about a week… and she chose to spend her time at therapy. Such a wise little moth! 😎💚

She stayed on our office door all day, quietly reminding us to make every moment count—and to take time to rest.

Take a pause today, even if it’s just a few minutes—you deserve it. 💛

Even one mindful choice — like skipping a heavy song — is an act of self-care in infertility. 💭

Overly positive husband + infertility = screaming internally (or externally 🫣)

🇺🇸 Today we remember 9/11—honoring the lives lost, the heroes who served, and the families who carry the weight of that day. 💛
