We have an important announcement!
You Matter Counseling Services, Inc. will now be located solely in Mt. Juliet, TN.

Our practice in Melbourne, FL is now owned by Joseph (congratulations, Joseph!). It’ll be under a different name soon, but many familiar faces remain and we are confident they’ll take care of their clients.

We at You Matter Counseling Services can’t thank you all enough for trusting us with your care ♥️.

Please be patient with us during this time as we switch things over.

Come join us for an inclusive, safe, and welcoming support group! 🌈 ♥️

Dealing with addiction can feel extremely isolating and it’s hard to find groups that are safe for those of us in the LGBTQ+ community.

This peer-led group offers a place of understanding and support while also providing access to information on available community resources.

For more information, please feel free to text or call Jordyn, our Case Manager and Community Outreach Specialist, at 585-435-7192 !

Hope to see you this Saturday! ♥️

Think of it as another tool you can use to maintain your mental health. You don’t need to actively be in crisis to benefit from therapy :).
Sometimes just having someone in your corner cheering you on can make a difference. Especially since it’s so easy to feel isolated nowadays. We truly are there for you and want you to know that you matter ♥️.

We’re seeing a huge spike in overdoses and Xylazine related wounds. Basically, anything with Fentanyl will probably also contain Xylazine.
Xylazine is not Narcan responsive.
Learning how to use Narcan will help keep you, your loved ones, and your community safe. Your local health department, fire station, and/or police station would know about any upcoming trainings. Online resources are also available.

We want you to know that you matter. There’s no shame in utilizing resources and we are so glad you’re here with us. We understand the complex nature of addiction / substance use disorders and are here for you no matter where you are in recovery. Even if you’re just thinking about it, please reach out ♥️.

You Matter Counseling Services has Narcan and test strips on hand.

Please keep in mind that many of our most vulnerable community members do not have phones or reliable access to these updates. If you do any type of outreach work, please help relay any important updates to our community members.

Stress, unfortunately, is unavoidable and even good situations can cause stress. So what do we do when we notice the signs?

Here are 3 ways to quickly de-stress!

1. Movement! Stimming, exercise, stretching, etc…
2. Relaxation and Mindfulness techniques
3. “Phone a friend”. Talking about what we are experiencing with a trusted friend or member of our support network can help immensely.

How do you de-stress? 😊

In the long-term, it’s important to learn how to identify signs of stress that are specific to you. Do you withdraw? Experience headaches? Have changes in mood or attention? All of those can be signs that we are stressed. Then we can work on skills to cope with, address / problem solve, or acknowledge what is causing the stress.

You’re not alone and we want you to know that you matter!
If you are looking for individual therapy, couples counseling, skills and support groups, or case management, please reach out. We would love to help.

We are hosting a Dignity Drive at our Mount Juliet, Tennessee location in partnership with the Community Resource Center! The goal of this drive is to gather menstrual supplies for those in need. Menstrual supplies are expensive and are not covered by any government assistance programs. While utilizing reusable supplies can cut down on costs for some, those who are unhoused, have sensitivities, disabilities, or limited access to other resources may be unable to care for and sanitize those reusable products. Access to the menstrual supplies of one's choosing is a necessity. After all, they know what works best for their body!

YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH AND YOU MATTER HERE!

You don’t have to apologize for existing. You don’t have to apologize for needing support. It’s not wrong to struggle. It’s OK to ask for help.

Remember, resources are always available at twloha.com/find-help. 💙
