Edge Counseling & Wellness

We treat adults and adolescents, both individually and in groups!

We are a group of therapists and wellness practitioners that wish to come alongside individuals in the Central Illinois area to help them find their best, most authentic selves.

🐾💜 Last Friday was a special one for our team at Edge Counseling and Wellness! Amber and Audrey had the opportunity to return to Logan Correctional Facility with Harvest Hope Collaborative—and this time, they brought along our facility dog, Lily.

Lily has a unique connection to Logan. She spent about a year there as part of the Paws Giving Independence program, where she was trained by women in the facility before joining our team at Edge. Getting to bring her back for two group therapy sessions was such a full-circle moment filled with joy, laughter, and a few happy tears.

Dressed in her adorable Halloween dress 🎃🐶, Lily spent time reconnecting with her trainers and even got to play with some of her puppy friends. The smiles, hugs, and stories shared reminded us how healing and connection can reach far beyond one moment—or one place.

We’re so grateful to partner with Harvest Hope Collaborative and Paws Giving Independence to be part of this meaningful work. 💜

🍁 When You’re Falling… Into Fall

The leaves are falling, the temps are dropping, and somehow your calendar keeps filling up faster than your coffee cup. ☕️

But here’s your friendly reminder from Edge Counseling and Wellness: even trees know when to let things go. 😉

This week, try a little autumn-style self-care:
🍂 Rake your mental clutter.
🍎 Take a crisp walk (bonus points if it involves cider).
🧣 Wrap yourself in something cozy — including compassion.

Because while pumpkin spice is optional, slowing down is not.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month — a time to stand together, speak out, and support survivors of domestic violence. 💜

📊 Did you know?

In Illinois, approximately 41 % of women and 26 % of men have experienced intimate partner violence in their lifetimes.

🛑 What you can do if you suspect someone is in an abusive situation:

Believe them. Hear their story without judgment.

Offer support, not pressure. Let them know you’re there, no matter what they decide.

Give them resources:

National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 (also available in Spanish)

Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV): 877-863-6338
ilcadv.org

Safety first. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Educate yourself. Abuse isn’t only physical—emotional, financial, and digital abuse are all real and harmful.

Let's use this month to amplify the message: You are not alone. Survivors deserve safety, respect, and healing. If you or someone you know needs help, reach out — the first step toward change often begins with a simple ‘I’m here.’

😴 When the Mondays hit… even Lily can’t keep her eyes open!

Sometimes self-care looks like deep breathing and mindfulness… and sometimes it looks like an unapologetic nap on the therapist’s couch. 🐾💤

Here’s your reminder to take it slow today — coffee helps, but rest helps more. 😉☕

🎃 It’s spooky season 👻 … but remember:

Ghosting your therapist is not the kind of haunting we recommend.

You can’t pumpkin spice away your burnout.

And your feelings? Definitely not something to sweep under the cobwebs. 🕸️

Take care of your mind — it’s the only one you’ve got. 💙

💙 Giving back to our community is something we’re always proud to do!

Our team recently dropped off donations for the Free Little Pantry at Von Steuben Middle School — part of our ongoing partnership through the Peoria Public Schools Foundation’s Adopt-A-School program.

These pantries help provide food and essential items for students and families who may need a little extra support. We’re grateful for the chance to play a small part in helping meet those needs and supporting our local schools. 🫶

If you ever have extra nonperishable food or hygiene items, consider donating to a Free Little Pantry near you — small acts of care make a big difference. 💫

💚 World Mental Health Day 💚
This Friday, we’re taking a moment to pause, reflect, and remind everyone: your mental health matters.

This year’s theme is all about making mental health a global priority — but it starts right here, with each of us. Whether it’s taking a walk, setting a boundary, reaching out for support, or simply giving yourself permission to rest, every small step toward caring for your mind matters.

At Edge Counseling and Wellness, we believe in breaking the stigma, starting conversations, and building spaces where healing and hope can grow. 🌿

Let’s keep checking in on ourselves and each other — not just today, but every day. 💙
