Exciting news, guys!! Welcome our newest intern to the team, Julianne Hanson!

Julianne is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa. She is super excited to begin working with clients and continue learning about the counseling field at Mount Vernon Family Counseling. She's excited to work with a diverse group of clients, and I am most interested in Person-Centered Therapy. In her free time, she loves spending time with her dogs, playing piano, and traveling!

Thank goodness it's Friday - Don't you agree, Ellis? ... Ellis?

She has been put to work ever since starting here! A client even caught this photo of her today 😸

A sweet cat fact for today:

Did you know that petting a cat for just 10 minutes can significantly reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels and stimulating the release of oxytocin, the "happiness hormone". Their calming purrs and presence offer companionship that can lower anxiety and provide a sense of emotional security, acting as natural stress-relievers.

Have a great weekend of rest, everyone! We know that Ellis will!!

We had a delightful time playing "Spot Our Interns" when we came across this post from the Iowa Association for Play Therapy about last Friday's conference!

Big Announcement! We now have an Office Manager! Please welcome Denise Cherry!

Denise, having worked in many office management positions in all capacities, is hoping her skills and know-how will come in handy for Tiffany and everyone here! You may notice calls, texts, and emails coming from her, as well as seeing her puttering around the office to ensure that it’s as warm, inviting, and as comfortable as possible for you. She can’t wait to assist in making the office processes here at Mount Vernon Family Counseling run as smoothly and efficiently as possible! 😊

Outside of work, she is an active volunteer at Starlighters II Theater in Anamosa, and has graced the stage there as well as at MVLCT right here in Mount Vernon! In her minimal free time she loves spending time with family and loved ones, being outdoors, and finding new adventures!

Highest of recommendations to this opportunity at the CR Downtown Library. The Dungeon Master is awesome and sure to engage your kids in trying out a Dungeons and Dragons' character in epic adventures!

Walk into Beems Auditorium at the Downtown Library on any given Wednesday evening and you’ll encounter epic battles, mythical creatures, and magic spells. This is the library’s Dungeons & Dragons club, where people of all ages gather each week for campaigns and camaraderie.

Programming Specialist John Zbanek-Hill started the club in 2022, with just a handful of participants. It has since grown to an average of 27 players each week.

“It’s for everybody. There really is a spot for you around the table, regardless of your age or ability,” he said. “A lot of people who have been looking for a place of welcome have found that here.”

Ya'll are tired of taking off time from work and school for therapy. We hear you and scoured the Earth to find a provider wanting to work WEEKENDS doing ONLINE counseling. Let me introduce you to....Tristin McDermott who currently has openings!

Tristin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (tLMHC) who enjoys working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment challenges, chronic illness, and adjustment disorders. She has provided care across multiple levels of treatment, including residential (RTC), intensive outpatient (IOP), and partial hospitalization (PHP), allowing her to bring a well-rounded perspective to the therapeutic process.

She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP). In her work, she integrates somatic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness to meet each client where they are in their journey.

Tristin is very client-centered and collaborative, dedicated to making the therapeutic space feel warm and inviting. She strives to help every client feel safe, heard, seen, and empowered as they work together toward healing and growth.

In her free time, Tristin can often be found experimenting with new baking recipes (with varying levels of success), trying to read two books simultaneously, or being with her family.
