💙 It’s National Psychotherapy Day! 💙

At Willow Creek, we believe therapy can truly change lives. Here’s how:

🌱 Gain clarity & self-awareness
🛠 Learn healthier coping skills
💙 Strengthen relationships
✨ Heal, grow, and move forward
🤍 Build confidence & self-acceptance

Therapy doesn’t change who you are—it helps you become the healthiest, strongest version of yourself. Today, we celebrate the courage it takes to begin that journey. 🌟

✨ Employee Spotlight: Bridget ✨

Bridget is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience supporting children, families, and individuals through challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem. She takes a holistic, strength-based approach—helping clients address mind, body, and spirit on the path back to their “happy place.”

When she’s not in the office, you’ll likely find Bridget walking or traveling to warm, sandy beaches. 🌴💙

International Day of Peace

In a world that often feels heavy—with so much change, uncertainty, and conflict—it can be hard to find moments of calm. Today reminds us of the importance of peace, not just globally, but in our daily lives, our communities, and within ourselves.

Peace doesn’t mean everything is perfect—it means choosing compassion, listening, and understanding even when it feels difficult. 💙

Let’s take a moment today to reflect on the power of peace, and the role each of us can play in creating it—one conversation, one act of kindness, and one moment of calm at a time.

🎧 Podcast Spotlight: The Hilarious World of Depression 🎧

Mental health conversations don’t always have to feel heavy—sometimes humor can be a powerful way to connect and heal. The Hilarious World of Depression brings together comedians and storytellers who share their real experiences with depression in honest, funny, and deeply human ways.

By blending laughter with vulnerability, this podcast helps break down stigma and reminds us that no one is alone in their struggles. 💙

If you’re looking for something insightful, uplifting, and yes—even hilarious—this might be your next listen.

👉 Available wherever you get your podcasts.

✨ Employee Spotlight: Jennifer ✨

We asked Jennifer a few fun and meaningful questions to get to know her better—here’s what she shared:

🐾 Go-to self-care activity after a long day: Taking her dog for a walk, walking with a friend, or going for a run!
🎶 If therapy had a theme song: Ordinary by Alex Warren
💡 Advice she gives often: “Your thoughts are not necessarily the truth”—and don’t forget the importance of movement!
🌱 Defining success in therapy: Staying focused and fully accepting yourself while keeping a positive outlook on life.
☀️ Favorite weekend recharge: Traveling, enjoying meals out, and spending time with family and friends.
🎉 How she celebrates wins: By doing something unexpected for someone else.
🏃 Hobby outside of therapy that brings joy: Running!

We’re so grateful to have Jennifer on the Willow Creek team. Her positivity, compassion, and energy shine through both in and outside of therapy. 💙

💙 Today is National Step Family Day 💙

At Willow Creek, we know that families come in many forms—and each one is unique, valuable, and deeply important. Step families remind us that love is not limited by biology; it’s built through commitment, care, and choosing to show up for each other every day.

To all the step parents, step children, and blended families—we see you. Your role may not always be easy, but the bonds you create are powerful and life-changing. 💫
