☕️ Friday in a Counseling Office... The Little-Known Truth
You might think we’re winding down…
But here’s the reality:
Yes, some private practice folks cut out early on Fridays.
Because we’ve been working late nights, squeezing in emergency sessions, and navigating emotional plot twists since Monday.
But most of us?
We’re still here—responding to messages, finalizing notes, and trying not to throw our phones out the window.
Also:
💬 We resent Jim.
Jim’s the one who said, “Let’s be more accessible to clients on their schedules.”
Now Jim might mysteriously go missing.
(Not really. Probably.)
But hey—we’ve got:
🎶 Chill music
☕ Really nice coffee
🧠 And enough therapeutic insight to stop ourselves from actually committing crimes.
Happy Friday from your friendly, slightly tired, highly caffeinated therapy team.

🎸 You can rock, you can roll… but if you do both?
👉 Just make sure you're not burning out in the process.
Life gets busy. You’re juggling it all—
🎤 Showing up for work
🎓 Supporting your kids
🧠 Managing your mental health
💪 Trying to grow, heal, and maybe just breathe
But remember:
Even rockstars need rest.
Even rollers need recovery.
✨ It’s okay to move fast, and it’s okay to pause.
Therapy is here for both—your hustle and your healing.

🎸 "Hello… is there anybody out there?"
👀 Smile if you can see me.
Sometimes posting on social media feels like sending messages into the void.
We hope you're out there—scrolling, smiling, maybe even reflecting.
We post reminders, support, tools, and a little humor too…
But truthfully?
💬 We never really know who’s watching…
Until someone says, “That post? I needed that.”
So if you're out there—
If you've read a post and felt seen,
If you've laughed at our therapist humor,
If you've saved something for “when I’m ready”…
🖤 We see you, even if you’re quietly reading.
You’re not alone. And yes, we’re still here—posting, hoping, and holding space.

👋 We’re Back in the Office! ☕️
Refreshed. Recharged.
Coffee in hand.
And only 143 voicemails to go through 😅
Therapy is OPEN—but be gentle with us…
We’re still:
📨 Checking messages
📞 Listening to voicemails
👂 Catching up on colleague weekend stories
🎒 Helping our kids emotionally process going back to school (again)
😮‍💨 Wondering how it’s only Tuesday
We missed you—and we’re ready to get back to doing what we love:
Holding space, solving problems, and maybe remembering where we left our pens.
Let’s do this. 💪

📴 We’re CLOSED Today
…which means therapists everywhere are:
🛋️ Putting their feet up
🎧 Not listening to anyone's problems
🙉 Ignoring all feelings (just for today)
☕ Refilling their coffee without racing to the next session
🧠 Letting their brains rest from being emotional ninjas
No active listening.
No deep processing.
No “how does that make you feel?”
Just peace, pajamas, and maybe a nap.
💬 We’ll be back soon—calm, caffeinated, and ready to hold space again.
But today… we’re holding the remote instead. 😎

🛠️ Labor Day Weekend Reminder 🌿
For many, this long weekend offers a rare pause—a chance to step back, breathe, and just be.
Whether you:
👨‍👩‍👧 Spend it with family
🎨 Dive into a favorite hobby
🍁 Or simply savor the early signs of cooler weather...
👉 Remember: Rest is not a reward—it’s a necessity.
In a culture that often glorifies productivity, choosing to slow down is an act of self-respect.
Your nervous system needs it. Your relationships benefit from it. Your mind clears in it.
✨ Use this time to recharge however you need to—without guilt.
Wishing you peace, connection, and space to just exist this Labor Day Weekend. 💛

🌍 "You either adapt… or the world will adapt for you."
Life will always bring change—sometimes planned, sometimes unexpected.
But if you don't take an active role in your growth, your boundaries, your healing...
➡️ Life has a way of making those decisions for you.
💥 Burnout forces rest.
💔 Unspoken feelings turn into distance.
📉 Avoided stress becomes anxiety.
Adaptation doesn’t mean giving up who you are—it means evolving to support who you are becoming.
✨ In therapy, we don’t just react to life. We learn how to respond—with intention, clarity, and strength.
Take the wheel.
Choose growth.
Adapt with purpose.

🔍 “Comparison is the thief of joy.” —Theodore Roosevelt
In the age of social media, it’s easier than ever to:
✨ Compare your progress to someone else’s highlight reel
✨ Feel “behind” in your career, relationships, or healing
✨ Judge your worth based on someone else’s timeline
But here’s the truth:
💡 You’re not supposed to be them.
You’re supposed to be you—growing at your own pace, in your own way.
👉 Comparison creates pressure.
🌱 Self-compassion creates peace.
Let go of the race.
Focus on your path.
That’s where joy lives.

📚 Back to School Isn’t Just for Kids 🧠
For parents, this season can stir more than supply lists and schedules. It can bring:
💼 Extra mental load
🕒 Less time for self-care
💔 Emotional waves as kids grow more independent
Whether you're:
👶 sending a child to preschool
🚌 watching them board the middle school bus
🎓 or dropping them off at college...
The truth is: Every stage requires emotional adjustment.
And every parent carries a unique blend of pride, grief, anxiety, and joy.
🧩 Back-to-school isn’t just a logistical shift—it’s a psychological one too.
💬 If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone.
Make space for:
🔹 Grace in your parenting
🔹 Support from your circle
🔹 Acknowledging your emotions
🔹 Prioritizing your own mental health, too
Seasons change—and so do we.
Let your mental health evolve with the moment.

🧠 Friday Afternoon at a Counseling Practice Be Like...
Internal dialogue, 3:52 PM:
– Are my notes done?
– Did I return all my calls?
– Did I reschedule my client?
– Did Karen cancel again for Monday morning?? 😒
– Wait... did I eat lunch?
– What even is time?
Meanwhile:
🪑 Therapist staring at screen, clicking the same tab 17 times
📅 Outlook calendar looking like a game of Tetris
☕ Coffee #4 going strong
💬 Brain buffering...
But hey—we made it.
Somehow, the notes will get done.
Karen might cancel again.
And yes, snacks are a form of therapy.
Here’s to making it through another week of holding space, staying grounded(ish), and surviving the documentation pile. 🙃

😰 Is It Just Stress… or Anxiety?
Anxiety isn’t just “worrying too much.”
It can show up in ways you might not expect:
🔄 Constant overthinking
💬 Replaying conversations in your head
⏰ Trouble sleeping—even when you're exhausted
💥 Feeling overwhelmed by small decisions
💓 Racing heart, tight chest, or upset stomach with no clear reason
🧠 Sometimes, anxiety gets mistaken for ADHD—because both can affect focus, memory, and productivity.
But anxiety is often driven by fear, perfectionism, or the need to control.
You don’t have to keep powering through it alone.
✨ Therapy can help you:
Quiet the mental noise
Understand your triggers
Learn how to respond—not just react
✨ Medication management can also support your healing by addressing the underlying biology.
💬 Anxiety is common. Treatment is available. Peace is possible.
