Social Butterfly Counseling

Social Butterfly Counseling Social Butterfly Counseling is a sanctuary for children, families and individuals seeking support in their struggle to navigate today’s chaotic world.

Social Butterfly Counseling is a private psychotherapy practice specializing in supporting children, families and adults in making healthy choices and creating positive change. Coping with the stress and pressures of daily life can be challenging. We partner with other professionals and clinicians to create a support team for our clients so they do not have to go it alone. From managing major tran

sitions like relocating and divorce to improving family dynamics, we help clients reconnect with their inner strength, reduce anxiety and conflict, heal their relationships and rediscover the joy in their lives. We work with guidance counselors, teachers and administrators to help families navigate complicated school systems and access the resources they need. We provide children with tools to handle the expectations and issues they encounter in school and in relationships. We guide couples in exploring effective ways to co-parent and communicate with each other and their children. And we collaborate with pediatricians, school nurses, psychotherapists and other medical professionals to help our clients manage anxiety, depression and other forms of mental illness. Issues we address in treatment include:

Parenting/Co-parenting
Communication
School Avoidance
Navigating complicated systems (Child Study Teams, working toward IEP, linkage to higher levels of care)
Peer relationships (bullying, conflict resolution, group dynamics)
Disruptive behaviors
Anxiety, Depression and Bi-polar disorder
Transitions (relocation, separation/divorce, death of loved one, birth of sibling, new step parent)
Body image and distorted eating
Issues affecting individuals identifying as LGBTQ
Trauma
Sexual and Physical Abuse
Neglect
Foster Care and Adoption
Infertility

We also facilitate groups that educate participants about topics such as social skills, anger management, parenting and separation/divorce; as well as therapy groups for those dealing with anxiety and depression.

This isn’t a post about a championship.
This is a post about having a record that’s perfectly imperfect.

An impressive season—because we were 100% defeated.
Yes, you read that right: 100% defeated.

I can’t speak for every athlete or every family, but I can certainly speak for mine when I say: thank you.

Thank you to the players who showed up with heart.
To the coaches and assistant coaches who gave their time and energy.
To the families who packed the cars, drove the miles, cheered from the sidelines, and made sure the boys were ready at Game Time.

With each loss came lessons—on and off the field.
The boys held their heads high.
The coaches kept offering words of encouragement and the space to grow.

So here’s to a season of zero wins and countless victories.
Because when you learn to lose with grace, the work and discipline it takes to win one day will mean so much more.

To all the summer ball athletes out there: remember to learn, grow… and have a little fun along the way.

Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

We are here for you always. Xo

“Somehow we’ve come to equate success with not needing anyone. Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand but we’re very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves. It’s as if we’ve divided the world into “those who offer help “ and “those who need ho” the truth is that we are both”

Our Social Butterfly Family sends our deepest condolences and prayers for all children and families impacted by the horrific floods in Texas. We especially send our love, thoughts and prayers for all the campers and staff of Camp Mystic.

We are here for you in anyway that we can be.

•Acknowledge What You’re Feeling
• It’s okay to feel grief, anxiety, helplessness, or even guilt for being safe while others suffer.
• Suppressing those feelings doesn’t make them go away—naming them is the first step to processing them.

•Set Healthy Media Boundaries
• Limit your exposure to distressing images or looping news coverage.
• Choose one or two reliable sources, and check them at set times.
• Consider taking a social media break, especially from videos or emotionally intense posts.

•Practice Grounding and Mindfulness
• Stress from vicarious trauma lives in the body. Use grounding techniques like:
• 5-4-3-2-1 (name 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear, etc.).
• Deep breathing or guided meditations (apps like Calm or Insight Timer).
• Journaling can help process emotions and separate your experience from others’.

By choosing to delay instant gratification, you'll unlock a profound sense of fulfillment that lasts.

You can sit with the uncomfortable, joy and fulfillment are often the reward.

Pause and reflect on what you are grateful for.

We are here for you.

Original post from the running week-
We work with countless athletes. The mindset that you can have anything but you can’t have everything can be generalized to so much.
For all our adolescent athletes out there- this one is for you.

Athlete: Coach, I need to ask you something. Is it really so bad if I have a drink with my friends? Sometimes it feels like everyone else is having fun except me.

Coach: You can have a drink, if you choose. No one will stop you.

Athlete: And what about smoking, just every now and then? Just to feel free for a moment.

Coach: You can do that too. This is your life, not mine.

Athlete: Coach, sometimes I just want to be like everyone else. Go to parties, stay out all night, laugh, and not worry about tomorrow. Can I do that?

Coach: Absolutely. No one can take those moments away from you. The world is full of options.

Athlete: And if I want to go even further, to just escape get high, live wild, forget all the pressure for a night? Can I?

Coach: Yes. All of that is within your reach. You can choose any path you want.

Athlete: Then why does it feel like I can’t have both? Why do I feel this ache in my chest, like something has to give?

Coach: Because, deep down, you know the truth. You can have anything, but you can’t have everything. Every great dream demands something from you. You are free to enjoy every moment, every temptation, every thrill but you are not free from the cost. You cannot expect to show up on race day with the body, the mind, the spirit of a champion if you are not willing to sacrifice what others are not. Every late night, every shortcut, every easy decision chips away at your potential.

Everything is permitted, but not everything is worthwhile.

So you must choose. What means more to you? A fleeting night or a lifelong dream? The comfort of now, or the pride of forever? You cannot serve two masters.

Every runner stands at this crossroads. The easy road is wide, full of laughter and distractions. The hard road is narrow, but it leads to places most will never see. The finish line you dream of only you can decide if it’s worth the sacrifice.

You choose how far to go. You choose whether you will look back with pride, or with regret. Only you can decide what your dreams are worth.

That’s the cost. And only you can pay it.

Social Butterfly Counseling is committed to supporting individuals from all backgrounds and age groups as they navigate the challenges and opportubities that life brings their way. One common thread is the potential for transformation and renewal that can arise from experiencing change and loss in relationships. By embracing grief as a natural and necessary process, we can tap into its transformative power and emerge stronger and more resilient.

This process can be painful and so very insightful all at the same time.

We are here for you as you navigate the ups and downs of this beautiful journey called life.
