Mental Health and School Counseling
Gratitude
We are inching closer to the holidays, and we are looking forward to this break for each and every one of you. You deserve time with loved ones and time for yourself! When we count our blessings, we are grateful for the opportunity to help you. We appreciate your feedback, which guides our decisions as we develop resources for you.
The holidays aren't the most wonderful time of the year for everyone. Many people feel increased stress due to expectations, and festivities can be painful for those missing loved ones. Our upcoming sessions are geared toward mental health and wellness during this busy time of year.
