Living with chronic pain can feel isolating but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Highland Village Counseling is offering a Chronic Pain Support Group led by Wynne Sherman, LPC and Deanna Shires. This monthly group offers a supportive space to connect with others who understand, while learning gentle, somatic (body-based) tools to help manage pain, stress, and the emotional toll that often comes with chronic conditions.

✨ Connect with others who get it
✨ Learn practical, body-centered coping tools
✨ Reduce isolation and build support
✨ Find relief through mind–body awareness

If chronic pain has been impacting your daily life, this group may be a meaningful next step toward feeling more supported and empowered.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, resentful, or unsure where you end and others begin, our Better Boundaries Workshop is designed for you.

Join us next Saturday, December 6 from 9:00 AM–1:00 PM for a supportive, practical, and empowering half-day focused on helping you:

✨ Understand internal vs. external boundaries
✨ Say no with clarity and compassion
✨ Identify your limits (and what gets in the way of honoring them)
✨ Leave with tools you can use immediately during the holidays and beyond

Lunch is included, and space is limited.

Myth: You only go to therapy when something is seriously wrong.
Truth: Therapy is also a space for growth, reflection, and learning new ways to care for yourself.

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to start healing. Many of our clients come to explore patterns, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded in daily life.

Our specialty is trauma, but sometimes the way trauma shows up is subtle — a sense of disconnection, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck in old patterns.

Whether you’re navigating stress, transitions, or simply want a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can be a powerful way to slow down and reconnect.

✨ You deserve support, not because something’s broken — but because you’re human.
