𝒫𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑜𝓃𝒶𝓁 𝓅𝑒𝒶𝒸𝑒 doesn’t come from fixing everything at once.
It begins with noticing what’s happening within you — without judgment.

These 𝟱 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻𝘀 are an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what you need right now — not what you should need.

✨ What feels heavy?
✨ Where are you stretched thin?
✨ What kind of rest fits this moment?

You don’t have to have all the answers.
You just have to start listening.

Save this post to come back to when things feel overwhelming — or share it with someone who could use a moment of grounding today.

And if you find yourself needing more support, therapy can be a steady place to unpack these questions together.

Every therapist at Bestow Counseling brings their own blend of care, curiosity, and compassion — and today, we’re excited to introduce 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗺𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗲𝗿, 𝗟𝗔𝗣𝗖, 𝗟𝗣𝗖, 𝗡𝗖𝗖. 🌿

Sammy works with kids, teens & adults who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the often-unspoken challenges of growing into themselves.

She offers thoughtful, client-centered support for:
• Anxiety, depression & mood disorders
• ADHD & behavioral concerns
• Self-esteem & body image issues
• Spiritual trauma & stress
• Relationship challenges
• Life transitions
• Trauma & PTSD

Sammy believes therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and approachable — a space where clients can build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and take meaningful steps forward at their own pace.

𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗲 — 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚.

From 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 learning safety through connection
to 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 navigating big feelings
to 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 building coping skills
to 𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀 learning how to pause before reacting
to 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 unlearning survival patterns
to 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 (+caregivers), 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 (+athletes), 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀, and 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀 carrying the weight of others…

Regulation isn’t about “staying calm.”
It’s about learning how to return to yourself — again and again.

And the truth is:
No one is born knowing how to regulate emotions.
We learn it in relationship. We practice it over time. And sometimes, we need support to rebuild it.

If any of these made you feel seen — you’re not alone.
And if regulation feels hard right now, that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means your nervous system may need care, not criticism.

At Bestow, we support emotional regulation across the lifespan — with compassion, evidence-based tools, and space to go at your pace.

✨ 𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

Sometimes it simply means new tools — and more compassion for where you already are.

As we step into a new year, many people feel pressure to reset, improve, or “do better.”
But healing rarely happens through force. It happens through small, steady moments of awareness and care.

These 𝟰 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 are simple ways to support your nervous system when things feel heavy, overwhelming, or uncertain — especially during long winter days here in the Midwest.

You don’t have to use all of them.
You don’t have to use them perfectly.
You just have to start where you are.

💛 Healing isn’t a resolution. It’s a relationship you build with yourself — one moment at a time.

If you’d like support beyond these tools, our therapists are here to walk alongside you.

As this year comes to a close, 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙚.

Grief. Growth. Unfinished healing. Quiet resilience. And hope — even if it feels fragile.

If 2025 taught us anything, it’s that healing doesn’t happen all at once. It happens in moments of honesty, courage, and choosing support when you don’t have all the answers yet.

Despite the lingering stigma, therapy is more common — and more effective — than many people realize:
• 𝟱𝟯% 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 believe counseling is an 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (Gallup, 2024)
• 𝟲𝟴% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 reported an 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 (Grow Therapy, 2024)
• 𝟳𝟴% 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 begin noticing improvement 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮–𝟴 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (GT, 2024)

Healing doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you.
It means you’re willing to care for yourself — on purpose.

As we step into 2026, may this be the year you choose support, softness, and space to heal — in whatever way that looks like for you.

And if therapy is part of that story, we’re here. 🤍

𝗗𝗖:𝟬–𝟱™ is a developmentally informed, relationship-based approach designed to support the mental health & emotional well-being of infants & young children — ages 0-3 years. (Stands for "Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health & Development Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood.")

This approach focuses on how young children experience the world ... through relationships, regulation, attachment & early emotional development.

It may be helpful if your child:
• Has intense emotions or difficulty calming down
• Is experiencing changes in behavior, sleep, or attachment
• Has experienced stress, disruption, or early trauma
• Feels hard to “read” or respond to as a parent or caregiver

This approach emphasizes early support — helping caregivers better understand their child’s needs while strengthening the parent–child relationship as the foundation for healing and growth.

Early connection matters — and support at the beginning can make a lifelong difference.

As Christmas approaches, emotions can feel heightened — joy, grief, nostalgia, loneliness, gratitude, all intertwined.

Some years truly do sparkle.
And some years… they sting.

Both are real.
Both are allowed.
Both deserve compassion — especially from yourself.

If this season feels tender, heavy, or different than you hoped, you are not doing it wrong. You are responding to your life, your losses, your love, and your story.

At Bestow Counseling, we hold space for all of it — not just the parts that look merry on the outside.

May you meet yourself gently this holiday season.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, birth trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the weight of it all, therapy can provide a steady, compassionate space to process what you’re carrying.

Our licensed therapists walk alongside parents with care, understanding, and respect — helping you build resilience, strengthen emotional regulation, and reconnect with yourself during seasons that can feel both beautiful and heavy.

You don’t have to feel okay to be worthy of care.

You don’t have to have the right words.
You don’t have to be grateful, productive, or “holding it together.”
You don’t have to know what comes next.

If today feels heavy, quiet, numb, or overwhelming — that doesn’t disqualify you from support. It invites it.

At Bestow Counseling, we believe care isn’t something you earn by feeling better. It’s something you deserve simply because you’re human.

The days around Thanksgiving can hold a lot — joy, nostalgia, pressure to “feel grateful,” and for many, a quiet ache underneath it all.

If this season feels heavier than it looks on social media …
If you’re missing someone you love …
If your heart can’t hold only one thing …

Please remember this:

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.
You can carry love and loss at the same time.
You are allowed to feel the fullness of your experience, exactly as it is.

However this holiday meets you, you are not alone.
Your feelings are valid. Your story matters. And your heart deserves gentleness this week and always. 🤍

𝗖𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 (𝗖𝗕𝗧) is one of the most well-known — and most effective — approaches to therapy. It focuses on understanding how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, and teaches you tools to navigate them with clarity and control.

You might benefit from CBT if you:
• Struggle with negative self-talk or perfectionism
• Feel stuck in worry loops or “what if” thinking
• Avoid certain situations due to fear or past experiences
• Want practical tools to manage anxiety, stress, or low mood

CBT is evidence-based and solution-oriented — empowering you to identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge them, and take steps toward lasting change.

Healing begins when you see your thoughts differently — and respond to them with compassion and confidence.
