The Kay Doré Counseling Clinic

September 10th is designated as World Su***de Prevention Day, but everyday is an opportunity to prevent su***de. Kindness, a willingness to have a difficult conversation and an ability to share resources, such as the 988 number or a counseling service, can make a difference in someone’s life. 💚

Chronic pain can be overwhelming and isolating. We want you to know you are not alone. 💚

Research tells us that su***de touches certain industries – like the construction community – more than others.

This , we recognize the high rates of su***de within the construction industry and urge craft professionals to care for their mental health just as they would physical safety.

Good morning! Take a peek into four of our counseling spaces. These spaces were thoughtfully designed by our Counselor Interns. In these rooms heartache, trauma, grief and the various distress that life can bring about is transformed into healing, peace and comfort.

As Father’s Day approaches we acknowledge that is isn’t a beautiful day for everyone. We see you. Please take care of yourself and reach out if you need support

Father’s Day can be beautiful, but it can also be incredibly hard.

I’m thinking of the ones who lost their dad. The ones who never knew him. The ones who were abandoned or disowned. I see you.

I’m sending love to the dads who lost their children, who are doing it all on their own, who are trying to stay connected but feel the distance. You matter more than you know.

To those who are adopted or fostered, to the dads who stepped up through adoption or foster care, to the ones raising kids in non-traditional families your love is just as real.

To the ones struggling to become parents, and to the dads living with mental illness, chronic illness, or disability; you are worthy, and you are not forgotten.

You are all seen. You are all valid. You are all deserving of love today.

Father’s Day isn’t just for picture-perfect cards. It’s for the ones carrying grief, heartbreak, and unconditional love in quiet ways too.

If you are grieving, counseling can provide the space where the mask is set aside, and all the complicated emotions that come with loss can be addressed.
