Mindful Monday!

Start your week with intention and calm. Take a moment today to pause, breathe deeply, and check in with yourself. What’s one thing you’re feeling grateful for right now?

Remember, mindfulness isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.

We’re so grateful for the trust and connection we build with our clients. 💚

Seth’s kind words remind us why we do what we do, creating a warm, welcoming space where healing can truly begin.

If you're ready to take the next step in your own path to healing, we’re here for you. 🙌

We’re all about keeping it honest here at Paula Lain Counseling & Co.

No filters, no pretending, just real life, real feelings, and real growth. Because perfection isn’t the goal… connection is.

Here’s to showing up as your authentic self, always. 💚🙌

Does back-to-school shopping have you stressed the F out? You’re not alone, and it’s okay to admit it!

Between supply lists, new routines, and endless decisions, it’s A LOT.

Remember to breathe, give yourself grace, and know we’re here if you need us, just one appointment away.

✨ A space created just for YOU. A place to feel safe, to express, to laugh, to cry, to vent about life (yes, even your MIL 😉). Whatever you need to unpack, this is your space to do it. 💚

You’re welcome here, always. 🧡💛💚💙💜

Boundaries aren’t walls meant to shut people out. They’re bridges that help us build healthier, more honest relationships with others and ourselves. 🙌

Setting limits isn’t about pushing people away; it’s about protecting your peace and creating space for connection that feels safe and respectful. 💚

If boundary-setting feels tricky or overwhelming, that’s totally normal, and it’s a skill we can work on together. Connect with us today! We're here to help. ☺️

☀️ Summer self-care isn’t all face masks and fruity drinks (though we fully support both).

Try self-care that actually regulates and restores:
🌿 Say no to plans that drain you
💧 Drink water like it's your job
📵 Take a tech break, your brain needs shade too
😴 Prioritize rest, even when the sun’s still up
🧠 Make space for your mental health, not just your vacation photos

And if you’re feeling off, overwhelmed, or just need a space to breathe, we’re here for that too. 💚

Book a session with Paula Lain Counseling & Co. and let’s make your peace a priority.

Sometimes, even therapists need to pause and recharge! ✨

Our team spent time at Alchemy House’s salt room, reflecting, sipping tea, and sharing gratitude for each other’s awesomeness. 💚

We’re beyond grateful for this team of hardworking, like-minded, caring (and totally badass) women who show up every single day to grow, support, and elevate our amazing clients. 🙌

Is this written by a REAL person or AI?

📱 Let’s be real, social media can connect us, inspire us… and completely wreck our mental health if we’re not careful.

In this blog post, we’re breaking down the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways platforms like Instagram can impact your mood, body image, self-worth, and even your sleep. 😵‍💫

You’re not “too sensitive” for feeling overwhelmed. These platforms are designed to keep you scrolling, not grounded.

And remember: it’s okay to log off, unfollow, or mute for your mental peace.

Connecting with people is great, especially when it is with people all over the world whom you normally would not be able to connect with if it weren't for social media platforms. However, social media is not always a positive thing.
