Today we honor Juneteenth—the day that marked the end of slavery in the United States, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

It’s a reminder that freedom has never been equally granted, but must be continually fought for and protected.

At Iron City Counseling, we believe healing is not just individual—it’s collective. We recognize the intergenerational trauma caused by systemic racism and the ongoing need for mental health spaces that are safe, affirming, and accessible for Black communities.

To our Black clients, colleagues, and community: we see you, we honor you, and we remain committed to holding space where you can rest, resist, and heal.

📚 Not sure what Juneteenth is really about? Now is a great time to pause and learn.

We hold space for all of it.

Take care of your heart today.
And if you need support, we’re here.

Counselors are human too, and we make mistakes just like anyone else. Therapy is a partnership built on trust and honesty, and it’s okay to express your concerns or discomforts. If something feels off, speak up—your voice matters in your healing journey. The health of this therapeutic relationship can actually model the health of your real-life relationships. Having open, hard conversations with your therapist can lead to deeper understanding and growth.

When you feel comfortable having hard conversations with your therapist about concerns or discomforts, you’re practicing skills that translate to other areas of your life. Speaking up can be the key to breakthroughs in therapy, as well as help us, as therapists, adapt and grow in our own therapeutic skills.

We’re here to support you, and that means working together, even through the tough moments. 🌱

💬 The Roles of a Therapist 💚

Therapy is so much more than just talking—it’s about building a relationship where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported. As therapists, we get to play many roles in this meaningful journey.

Sometimes, we are a guide, helping you navigate life’s ups and downs while empowering you to find your own path. Other times, we become a safe space, where you can express your true feelings without fear of judgment and feel a sense of comfort and acceptance.

We might serve as a mirror, reflecting your strengths when you can’t see them yourself and showing you how far you’ve come, even on the hardest days. Or perhaps, we’re simply a companion, someone who listens, holds space for your story, and makes sure you know you’re not alone.

Therapy is about connection, growth, and honoring your unique story. It’s a place where you can discover your strength, find your voice, and explore new possibilities for your life.

To all those who trust us with their journey—thank you for allowing us to walk beside you. 💚

✨ Team Time! ✨

We believe that connection is key—both in and out of the office. Once a month, our team of dedicated counselors steps away from the counseling room to relax, recharge, and build stronger bonds with one another. 🫶

We know that maintaining strong, positive relationships helps us show up better for our clients, so we make it a priority to gather together for some fun! 💼💙

This month’s outing was full of laughs, good food and ties, but the true connection is between us as a team. 😄👔
