Thrive on Counseling, LLC

Thrive on Counseling, LLC Stephanie is a LMHC, SUDP, MHP, Dual Diagnosis psychotherapist, Court ordered Reunification Therapy

Our Mission Statement is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying specific therapeutic approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life and incorporate coping skills. We offer comprehensive behavioral health services for children, individuals, couples, and families promoting integrated healthcare, recovery, and community inclusion. Services are designed to promote recovery, increase independence, improve quality of life, and support community integration and inclusion. Our vision is to provide culturally competent, holistic, and wellness focused services that promote social-emotional development, prevent development of mental health challenges, and address social-emotional problems that currently exist. This is done by using evidence-based strategies in our services; by supporting staff training and wellbeing; by implementing effective mental health consultation to children, individuals, couples, families, and staff; by facilitating mental health services for parents who need them; and by continuing to strive for excellence in supporting mental health for all. I am an experienced facilitator and clinician with a demonstrated history of working in the professional training and consulting industry as well as a wide variety of clinical and non-profit settings. I am skilled in connecting with diverse clients and audiences. I possess wide-ranging experience in nonprofit organizations, crisis intervention, individual, family, and couples therapy, conflict resolution, forensic psychology, addictions, as well as curriculum development and quality assurance. My passion is psychotherapy, teaching, facilitating, writing, and helping others recognize and reach their potential.

You are shaped by your thoughts, aspirations, and the ideals you hold dear. Whatever your present environment maybe you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideals. If your desires are limited and controlling, you will find yourself confined to a smaller existence, whereas if you nurture growth and insight, you will grow and elevate your life to heightened levels. Ultimately, the trajectory of your life reflects the strength and clarity of your mindset, underscoring the profound impact that your inner thoughts have on your external reality.

Growth and change often require considerable disturbance or upheaval. Viewing life through this lens allows us to appreciate that evolution and personal development are integral to our journey. We must recognize that periods of turmoil, transition, and change are beneficial, guiding us toward becoming our best selves. Difficulties and challenges present in various forms whether through mistakes or the unpredictable nature of life. The key lies in whether we extract valuable lessons from these experiences, enabling us to avoid repeating mistakes or gaining a broader understanding and knowledge from the difficulties we face.

Love is never planned. It is meeting someone you did not plan on, feeling drawn to them, and sharing a powerful connection. The most beautiful romances are those that catch us off guard, a serendipitous gift of chance. It is not about crossing fingers and hoping; it is about those magical moments where two hearts connect easily. Unexpected, natural, and beautifully unplanned, real love is a journey that starts with an instant connection and grows into something far richer than any description can convey. Embrace the unexpected, for it can lead to the most profound and fulfilling love stories.

You must shape your future intentionally; it is essential to break free from the patterns of your past. If you do not take charge, your mind will default to the familiar patterns and experiences of your past. This means if you wish to cultivate a life filled with optimism and achievement, you must consciously envision and embrace a mindset focused on healing, success, peace, and continual growth. Each day presents a new opportunity to infuse your life with positive energy, setting the tone for what lies ahead. Embrace this practice, as you truly deserve to live life fully.

Embracing the journey ahead with unwavering determination is essential; it is about forging ahead with resilience and unyielding determination. Life often presents challenges that can feel insurmountable, yet it is in these moments of adversity that our true strength is revealed. Each setback serves as a steppingstone, a lesson that moves us forward rather than holding us back. By cultivating a mindset that refuses to surrender, we not only enhance our capacity to overcome obstacles but also inspire those around us to pursue their own paths with courage. The essence of progress lies in the relentless pursuit of our goals, living life fully, learning throughout our lifetime; where every small victory fuels our motivation and every failure becomes a catalyst for growth. Therefore, as we navigate the complexities of life, let us commit to moving forward, firm in our resolve to never give up, for it is this journey that shapes our character and defines our legacy.

One of the most precious gifts one can receive is encouragement. When someone offers you support, they help you navigate challenges that you might struggle to face alone. Life often presents moments of uncertainty, where feelings of confusion and disarray can weigh heavily. However, when a friend steps in with encouraging words, it brings a sense of clarity and upliftment, guiding you toward a way out of the darkness. The essence of encouragement transcends mere words; it encompasses the entire presence of the friend, who empathizes with your situation and offers understanding without judgment. Their support provides a comforting release, allowing you to see the hidden paths forward.

Embrace the process of personal development: learning new coping skills, life skills, controlling your thoughts, reducing knee jerk emotional reactions, is crucial for mental health, as it encourages individuals to focus on growth rather than perfection. There is no such thing as perfection, only doing your best. The belief that one must be perfect sets one up to feed the false belief that one is not enough or inadequate, which is self-sabotage (if you look for evidence you are not enough, you will always find it, whether it is true or not). By committing to the work involved in self-improvement and growth, one learns to appreciate the small victories and lessons that arise from challenges, and to accept they cannot control anything or anyone other than themself. This journey fosters resilience, self-awareness, acceptance, and mindfulness, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life. Enjoying the journey encourages an optimistic perspective, reminding us that progress is often nonlinear, and growth takes time.

Walking away from things, situations, or people that no longer serve you can be difficult or heart wrenching; but when you let go it will create space for new possibilities. Difficulties provide opportunity for growth and learning; even though it may initially feel like loss and grief. Leaning into what you are feeling allows you to reflect on why you engaged in the first place, what was learned, and how you could use this knowledge in the future. Not as armor or another brick in your wall; but a lesson learned, wisdom, a wider perspective and recognition that not everyone is in the same place as you are, equally yoked, or willing. Do not hang on to disappointment, pain, guilt, fear, or shame.

To release what no longer serves you it is imperative to identify what you are feeling, and lean in. Be truly honest with yourself; do not take your irrational thoughts and weave them into a narrative you will believe. Did you do your best? If you did not, you learned you need to show up and do your best every day. If you know you did your best you need to be able to accept and recognize you did your best and gave it your all; ensure your filter is cleaned off so your perspective is clear, not weighted with negative self-talk or irrational thoughts. This ensures you make your decisions based on love not fear. And always remember to take the risk again, love again, live again, and trust that good things will replace the empty space. It is a way to free yourself so you can live life fully.

What if Today…
You decide to do the work; no short cuts, no quick fixes, but a commitment to continual growth. You will learn to believe in yourself, love yourself and embrace your enoughness. You finally recognize how infinitely worthy you are, as you are, just for exisiting. You choose to allow yourself a new chance, a new adventure, a new love, a new perspective of life. You choose to let go of all the could have, should have, would haves or fears/worries of the future and you let your heart sing, you let yourself have hopes and dreams, and you live in the present. You recognize your life is a precious gift; that we cannot predict when our last sunrise or sunset will be, and you chose to live this day to the fullest.
