🎃 Trick or Treat & Happy Halloween!

As you head out today with costumes, candy bags, and spooky vibes, remember that you never really know what someone is carrying with them. Adults and kids alike, we all have a mask we sometimes put on to hide those parts of ourselves we struggle with.

Some people might be handing out smiles but holding onto stress. Others might look totally fine on the outside but are feeling a bit haunted on the inside. Mental health isn’t always as obvious as a witch hat, clown costumes or pumpkin bags.

This Halloween, let’s be generous with the good stuff—kindness, patience, understanding, and maybe an extra Reese’s or two. Check in with your people, and don’t forget to treat yourself with the same care. And if you find yourself stuck? Give us a call. We're here to help you shed whatever mask you're ready to take off.

Stay safe, have fun, and be kind out there (to others and yourself)!

The Fountain Hill Center is pleased to announce that we have begun offering DBT Skills Education groups. We recognize that the need for mental health services, such as DBT, is substantial in our community, and we are pleased to begin offering this resource to individuals who feel they may require more support than individual therapy alone can provide.

Tatum Wilson, MS, LLP has written a great article on DBT on our blog. Follow the link below to read more!

Did you know our Mindfulness Group offers more than just meditation?

This group is about real connection with yourself and your surroundings. Each session starts by helping you tune into your body and build awareness around how you move through your day.

We’ll map out your nervous system to help you recognize when you’re in fight-or-flight, when you shut down, when you feel calm and at ease, and what triggers each of those states. From there, you'll learn simple, practical tools to slow down, check in with yourself, and regulate your nervous system throughout the day.

It’s about creating lasting change from the inside out. Curious to learn more? Come join us.

Mindful Minute with M & Em: An Invitation To Notice

As the season begins to change, the weather growing cooler, the leaves beginning to fall... we want to encourage you to simply pause and notice. Take an extra deep breath as you leave your house in the morning or take the long route home so you can see the fall colors. Sometimes it’s hard to slow down in the midst of chaos and busy schedules.
