✨ Welcoming 2026: A Year of Courage, Healing & Alignment ✨

As we step into a new year, many of us are noticing a quiet pull — a desire for change, a need for rest, or a longing to feel more connected to ourselves and others.

2026 carries a collective energy of:
🔥 Courage — advocating for your needs, even when your voice shakes
💧 Emotional Healing — tending to the wounds we’ve carried alone
🌱 Alignment — choosing relationships, work, and routines that honor who you are
🧱 Boundaries — saying “no” when necessary, without apology

At Blue Chair Counseling, we believe that growth doesn’t have to be loud or fast.
It can look like:
• one small boundary
• one honest conversation
• one breath before reacting
• one step toward the life you want

If this year is inviting you to rethink how you show up in your life — you’re not alone.
We’re here to walk with you, at your pace, in your time.

Grounded. Compassionate. Here with you in every season.

🩵A Growing Team & a Grateful Heart🩵

As we close out our second year at Blue Chair Counseling, we’re pausing to reflect on just how far we’ve come—and to celebrate where we’re headed.

We are so excited to officially welcome Devin to Blue Chair Counseling as our Administrative Coordinator! Devin will be supporting the heartbeat of our practice behind the scenes—helping with communication, coordination, and systems that allow our clinicians to remain present and focused on client care. We’re incredibly grateful to have her joining our team.

We also want to take a moment to express our deep appreciation for our clinicians, Whitney and Darren. Their compassion, professionalism, and dedication to their clients are foundational to the heart of Blue Chair Counseling. We are grateful for the care they bring into the therapy space each day and for the way they embody our values of integrity, warmth, and connection.

✨ To our clients:
Thank you for trusting us with your stories, your healing, and your courage. Your trust is something we hold with deep respect. As our practice grows, every decision we make—like expanding our administrative support—is rooted in our commitment to providing thoughtful, ethical, and consistent care.

🌱 Looking ahead to 2026:
We’re entering the next year grounded, intentional, and hopeful—focused on sustainability, connection, and continuing to show up with compassion, for our clients and for one another.

This photo represents more than a team—it reflects shared values, collaboration, and a collective commitment to creating a safe, welcoming space for healing.

Here’s to growth, gratitude, and what’s ahead. 💙🪑

🕯️ Yule: A Trauma-Informed Reflection 🕯️

Yule marks the winter solstice—the longest night of the year—and the quiet turning toward light. In trauma-informed care, we understand that darkness doesn’t mean failure; it often reflects survival, protection, and endurance.

This season invites rest without guilt, slowing the nervous system, and honoring what it has taken to get here. Healing rarely happens in dramatic leaps. More often, it begins subtly—in moments of safety, steadiness, and compassion toward self.

At Blue Chair Counseling, we recognize that growth can coexist with heaviness. If you’re feeling tired, numb, reflective, or hopeful all at once—you’re not doing it wrong.

As daylight gradually returns, may you allow yourself patience, gentleness, and trust in your body’s timing. Healing unfolds when safety leads the way. 💙

International Mountain Day ⛰️

Today we celebrate the strength and beauty of our mountain environments 🏔️—ecosystems that sustain communities, protect biodiversity, and offer the grounding presence we seek when life feels heavy.

Mountains also mirror our inner journeys. Some days bring steep climbs or unclear paths 🚶‍♀️🌀; others offer moments of clarity where we can look back and see just how far we’ve come ✨. Just as these landscapes need thoughtful stewardship, our emotional worlds need care, balance, and protection too.

Caring for our mountains and caring for ourselves both create stability, resilience, and hope for the generations that follow 🌍💫.

Tonight’s Full Cold Moon 🌕 the last full moon of the year — offers a quiet reminder to slow down, breathe, and notice what this season is bringing up for you.

The Cold Moon is often associated with clarity, reflection, and the gentle release that winter invites.
At Blue Chair Counseling, we see this moment as an opportunity to:

• slow the pace
• honor what you’ve carried
• set down what’s too heavy
• and make space for the light that’s coming

Whether tonight feels peaceful, emotional, or a little tender — your experience matters.
Wishing you warmth, grounding, and compassion under this December moon.

🦃Thanksgiving is a meaningful day for many, bringing connection, tradition, and gratitude.
It is also a moment to acknowledge the deeper history of this land and honor the enduring presence and culture of Native American peoples.

At Blue Chair Counseling, we hold space for both truth and tradition. This season can bring joy, reflection, complexity, or a mix of emotions — all of which are valid.

As you move through the week, we encourage gentle awareness:
🍁Honor the traditions you cherish
🍂Acknowledge the history that came before us
🍁Notice what you’re feeling and give yourself compassion
🍂Rest and reconnect in ways that support your well-being

From all of us at Blue Chair Counseling, we wish you a grounded and mindful Thanksgiving.

🩵 For any shade of blue 💙

🎷 Saxophone Day: Finding Your Voice

The saxophone has a sound all its own — bold, soulful, and impossible to mistake. That’s what we love about it. 💙

At Blue Chair Counseling, we believe therapy helps you find your sound again — the one that gets drowned out by stress, perfectionism, or self-doubt. Like learning an instrument, it takes patience, breath, and the courage to hit a few wrong notes on the way to something beautiful.

So on this Saxophone Day, give yourself permission to speak, feel, and express — loudly or softly — whatever is true for you. 🎶

🌊 The Last Days of Atlantis 🌅

As October drifts into November, the air feels like a threshold — soft, still, and full of quiet endings.

The legend of Atlantis reminds us that even great things must sometimes fall away so that something wiser can rise. In therapy, and in life, we release what no longer serves — old patterns, self-doubt, the illusion of control — and make room for renewal.

Honor what’s sinking. Trust what’s surfacing. 💙

🐾✨ Happy National Black Cat Day! ✨🐾

Black cats often get an unfair reputation, but in reality they’re just as lovable (and lucky!) as any other. 💙 Today’s a good reminder that sometimes our thoughts about ourselves can be a little like those myths—negative, distorted, or just plain untrue.

🌟 Challenge for today: Notice one “myth” you’ve been carrying about yourself and see if you can replace it with a kinder, truer thought.

And if you’ve got a black cat at home… give them an extra treat today! 🐈‍⬛💫

🌍💙 World Mental Health Day 2025 💙🌍

Today we pause to honor the importance of mental health—for ourselves, our families, and our communities. This year’s theme is “Mental health is a universal human right”—a reminder that care, compassion, and connection should be available to everyone, everywhere.

At Blue Chair Counseling, we believe that every shade of blue deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. Whether you’re navigating stress, trauma, loss, or the ups and downs of everyday life, your mental health matters.

Let’s continue to break the stigma, start conversations, and check in on each other—not just today, but every day. 💙
