Fall is a season of preparation.

After the long days of summer, we naturally shift into a rhythm of reflection, routine, and renewed focus. But for many, this change can stir feelings of stress, anxiety, or emotional fatigue.

Just like nature, we all need a season to reset. This is your reminder to take stock of what you’ve carried through the year—and intentionally make space for what you want to grow next.

Maybe that means returning to therapy, starting sessions again after summer, or setting new wellness goals with your clinician.

At Wooten & Associates, we’re here to help you prepare—mindfully, intentionally, and with care.

Schedule your next session or learn more about our team at wootenandassoc.com.

Meet Toni Ford, LPC 🍂

Toni’s journey to becoming a counselor began in an unexpected place—through marriage ministry at her local church. That spark grew into a calling, inspiring her to earn her Master’s in Counseling and expand her practice to include both individual and couples therapy.

With over 21 years of Air Force service, Toni is deeply attuned to the unique challenges faced by military veterans, as well as individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational struggles.
Her therapeutic approach combines evidence-based methods like DBT, CBT, EFT, and Gottman Therapywith a passion for helping clients grow across their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions.

✨ Toni believes no one should navigate life’s challenges alone—and she’s committed to walking alongside clients on their healing journeys.

💡 Midweek Mental Health Check-In

Stress doesn’t always show up as “stress.” Sometimes it looks like:

* Trouble sleeping 🛌
* Irritability ⚡️
* Constant fatigue 😴

If you notice these signs, it may be your body’s way of saying: slow down. Therapy can help you identify patterns, develop tools, and build resilience.
You don’t have to navigate it alone—we’re here to help. 💜

Today, we honor the dedication, resilience, and achievements of the workforce here in Phoenix and across America.

Labor Day reminds us of the labor movement’s fight in the late 19th century—a fight that secured safer workplaces, fair pay, and the dignity of work. Because of those efforts, generations of workers have built stronger communities and a brighter future.

To every worker—past, present, and future—thank you for the impact you make every single day. 🙌
