This exercise uses bilateral stimulation to activate both hemispheres of the brain and to calm the amygdala (the brain's fear center).

Deep INTENTIONAL Breathing helps stimulate the vagus nerve and trigger a relaxation response.

YES. You DO have 5 minutes. Nothing is more pressing than the present.

Wind Phone Location ☎️

Have you ever heard of The Wind Phone?

If not, let me tell you! This was born out of my idea and research while I was a provider at Free Indeed Counseling! I have experienced the loss of my mother to cancer at the very young age of 23, while she was 48. Grief is still a very real thing in my life. When I got “wind” of the “Wind Phone” that originated in Japan, and knew we didn’t have a “registered” one in the state of Wyoming, I was eager to be the first! My husband Evan, built these huts to house the wind phones and Sir Speedy donated some funds to begin this project towards the signage. If you are grieving, missing the loss of a loved one, grieving a relationship or just wanting to sit with the words that were left unspoken…go find this one. It’s the FIRST of many…more to come. Memorial Park in Gillette behind Gillette Ave on the West side. SPONSORED by Free Indeed Counseling Services and Sacred Start Counseling

The wound is not your home. It’s just a hallway leading you somewhere new.

Hey All 👋 Just a little re-introduction because this community page has grown a lot lately and I am so grateful for that!

I’m Nicole 👈🏼

Yes, I’m a therapist — but I’m also a mom who reheats her coffee three times, a creative mind with too many ideas, someone who laughs easily, cries at meaningful moments, and believes healing happens in ordinary AND sacred spaces.

I ❤️

1️⃣ Watching the sunrise as I sip my coffee
2️⃣ Hearing my kids laugh
3️⃣Camping and fishing with my family
4️⃣ Reading my devotionals and Bible
5️⃣ Watching the sunset
6️⃣ Writing
7️⃣ Serving others
8️⃣ Honored to show up at a job everyday I love
9️⃣ Decorating and Home Decor
🔟 Listening to the birds chirp
🔢 Last but definitely NOT least, seeing MY therapist because mental health therapists are NOT immune to hard things. Let’s remove the shame of mental health.

🔆I’m here to be steady, to show up, to normalize being human and to remind you that support exists long before you ask for it. I’m walking this life alongside you!🔆

There has been a heavy, noticeable, dark cloud hanging over our community these past couple of weeks. 💙💙💙 This website is a wonderful way to receive letters from others if you are looking for a reason to stay. A reason to still be here. A reason to live. If YOU want to be the one to write a letter, you can help too! I will continue to pray for our community and our state, that we continue talking about hard things and that the judgement that comes is freed.

When the world feels heavy, a kind word can make a difference. Receive anonymous letters from people who have been there. No pressure, no spam—just a quiet reminder that you are not alone.
