Mighty Oaks Counseling and Wellness

09/25/2025

Benny has arrived in our Mighty Oaks waiting room!! If you don’t know his story, Benny visits children on Halloween to spread kindness to all children, including those with food allergies, sensory difficulties, sensitive immune systems, experiencing deployment, children that are in the hospital, and many others, that cannot celebrate in a “typical” way.

I love this book in our house, as a food allergy mom, and it’s the perfect time to grab Benny before October begins. Thank you to the authors, The Johnsons, for this affirming and loving book. May we spread kindness, just like Benny, this October.🦇 🎃

I’m so proud and in awe of these amazing parents, that pushed to get the Heaven’s 27 bill passed. Your voices made that happen!

May we one day, too, convince lawmakers to pass gun legislation. Our hearts are broken, as another two children have died, and countless will forever be changed, by gun violence.

Let us continue to lift our voices, share our stories, and scream from the rooftops, to make change, and protect our most precious gifts. 💙

It’s never a dull moment in play therapy. We are thankful for our clients that get us to play and be silly, too. As adults, we tend to be too serious. Get out there and play today!

What a great opportunity, to help with those back-to-school jitters.

In this playful and supportive comedy workshop, kids will learn how to stay present, catastrophize less, and connect more confidently with their peers, all through the power of improv and play.

Thank you for the incredible donations in our GoFundMe, for the girls and families affected by the devastating flood at . This week, we will send 380 books out, to help our Mystic family know we are all connected, even when we are not together.

After we finish this round, we will be raising money once again to collect and ship “The Invisible String” to the campers, counselors, and staff at the Camp Mystic Cypress Lake location. While not in the flood path directly, these girls also experienced some scary things, as the campers and counselors from Camp Mystic Guadalupe were transported here after being rescued. They also had to end their term early, like so many camps in the area.

Thank you, again, to everyone! If you’d still like to donate, the link is in the comments. 💚
