Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Today, we honor the rich heritage, resilience, and cultural pride celebrated on Cinco de Mayo. While often misunderstood, this day commemorates the strength and perseverance shown at the Battle of Puebla — a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming odds, courage and unity can prevail.

Counseling by Penny believes in celebrating the diverse cultures that enrich our community.

We also recognize that healing and resilience take many forms — and we're here to support you on your journey, wherever you are.

Should you need a therapist that speaks Spanish, we have two, Melissa Salas and Saul Rodriguez.

Strengthen Your Relationship with Proven Tools from the Gottman Method

At Counseling by Penny, our therapists are Gottman-trained and passionate about helping couples build stronger, more connected relationships.

Here are 3 powerful Gottman-inspired tips to enrich your marriage:

1️⃣ Turn Toward Each Other – Notice your partner’s bids for attention, affection, or support—and respond. Small moments of connection build lasting trust.

2️⃣ Build a Culture of Appreciation – Regularly express gratitude and admiration. It’s a powerful antidote to resentment.

3️⃣ Manage Conflict with Gentle Startups – Begin difficult conversations with care and respect, not criticism or blame. How a discussion starts often predicts how it ends.

Whether you're facing challenges or just want to grow closer, we’re here to support your journey with science-based strategies that work. 💙

🌿 Herbs That Support Mental Wellness 🌿
Did you know nature offers gentle support for your mental health? While not a replacement for therapy or medication, some herbs have been shown to ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Here are a few well-known ones:

💚 Ashwagandha – Helps reduce stress and cortisol levels
🌼 Chamomile – Calms the mind and supports sleep
🌱 Lemon Balm – Uplifts mood and soothes nervous tension
🧘‍♀️ Rhodiola – May boost energy and improve resilience to stress
🌸 Lavender – Reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation

Everyone’s journey is unique. If you're navigating stress, anxiety, or low mood, we’re here to help. Herbal support can be a complement to therapy—not a substitute. Make sure to check with your doctor before mixing herbs or supplements with any medications.

Contact us today to schedule a session or learn more about holistic approaches to mental wellness.
