All behavior is communication. All of it. The best advice I can give as a therapist who has worked with kids for over a decade and as a parent to my own kiddos who are wired for anxiety is this: Tune out the unsolicited opinions of others, even the well meaning ones, and trust your gut. Get to the root. Connect before correcting. You know your kid, your family, your situation.

🌈 Pride Month is more than a celebration — it’s a powerful reminder of identity, resilience, and the importance of being seen.

At Andrea Heston Counseling, we honor the strength of the LGBTQ+ community and remain committed to providing a safe, affirming space for healing and growth.

Pride is a time to celebrate love and authenticity — and also to recognize the ongoing fight for equality and mental health access. You deserve support that respects who you are, every month of the year. 🏳️‍🌈💛

Healthy boundaries help you thrive. Remember, it’s okay to say no and protect your space - emotionally, mentally, and physically. You deserve respect and peace. 🌸

“As awareness grew, so did identification. It's not over-diagnosis. It's improved detection. It's more people being seen, named, and ideally supported."

The concept that “you are responsible for the energy you bring into a space” highlights the impact our attitudes and emotions can have on our surroundings and the people in them. Our mood, whether positive or negative, influences the dynamics of any environment we enter. By being mindful of this responsibility, we can choose to contribute positively, fostering an atmosphere of kindness, empathy, and collaboration. This form of self-awareness encourages us to manage our own emotions and recognize the potential ripple effect of our energy on others, ultimately promoting a more harmonious environment. Recognizing this responsibility empowers us to be proactive in creating and sustaining supportive spaces for ourselves and those around us.
