Today is World Sleep Day.

For many people—especially parents, caregivers, students, and those managing anxiety—sleep can feel out of reach.

If racing thoughts keep you awake, try:

✨ A grounding exercise (5-4-3-2-1 method)
✨ Gentle breathwork
✨ Writing down worries before bed

If sleep struggles are ongoing, therapy can help address the root causes.

Better rest supports better mental health.

03/10/2026

Sleep and mental health are deeply connected.

Chronic sleep disruption can increase anxiety, impact mood regulation, and intensify depression symptoms. And mental health challenges can make restful sleep harder to access.

Small shifts can help:

• Consistent sleep schedule
• Limiting screen time before bed
• Creating a calming wind-down routine
• Reducing caffeine late in the day

Rest is not laziness—it’s essential care.

On International Women’s Day, we honor the emotional labor, leadership, caregiving, advocacy, and strength women carry every day.

Women—especially women of color, q***r women, trans women, and women with disabilities—often face higher rates of anxiety, depression, trauma, and systemic barriers to care.

Mental health care should feel safe, affirming, and culturally responsive.

Your voice. Your story. Your healing. It matters.

Adolescence is a time of identity, change, and growth—but it can also bring anxiety, depression, social pressure, and self-doubt.

On World Teen Mental Wellness Day, we’re reminded that teens need spaces where they feel heard, respected, and safe to explore who they are.

At Circle in a Square, we support adolescents (ages 13–18) with culturally responsive, affirming care—especially for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth navigating unique challenges.

Mental wellness starts with connection. If you need support, we’re here.

March 1 is Self-Injury Awareness Day.

Self-harm is often a way people cope with overwhelming emotions—not a sign of weakness or attention-seeking. Behind it is usually pain that hasn’t yet found safe words.

If you or someone you love is struggling, compassionate support matters. Healing begins in spaces free from shame and judgment.

You deserve care, understanding, and tools that truly support you.

If you’re in Washington State and looking for support, we’re here. 💜

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week is this week, and we want to remind our community that eating disorders affect people of all ages, genders, races, and body sizes.

Small acts of kindness can have a big impact—on others and on ourselves.

Today, consider a simple act: checking in on a friend, offering patience to yourself, or taking a mindful pause. Kindness is a powerful mental health tool.

🧧 Happy Lunar New Year from Circle in a Square Counseling! 🧧

As we welcome the Lunar New Year and celebrate the Year of the Horse, we honor renewal, resilience, and forward movement. The Horse symbolizes strength, freedom, determination, and vibrant energy—qualities that also show up in the healing journey.
Lunar New Year is a time for reflection, reconnection, and intention setting. It reminds us that growth happens in cycles, and each new season offers an opportunity to begin again with courage and hope.

We recognize and celebrate our Asian and Asian American communities and the cultural traditions that bring families and communities together during this meaningful time.

May this new year bring vitality, balance, and continued movement toward well-being. 🐎✨
