December can be a beautiful season, but it can also feel heavy with expectations, family stress, financial pressure, and old emotions that resurface this time of year. If you are feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone.

We put together a new blog post with simple grounding practices you can use all month long, including box breathing, sensory grounding, a supportive mantra, and a gentle journaling prompt to help you reconnect with calm.

Pride Month is a time to celebrate love, identity, and the courage to be yourself. At Our Community Counseling, we honor every story and offer a safe, welcoming space for all people—no matter who you are or who you love. You belong here.

🌷 Mother’s Day + Mental Health Awareness Month 🌷
This May, we’re holding space for all the different faces of motherhood—and all the feelings that come with it.

Whether you’re a mom, grieving one, missing a child, healing from a complicated relationship, or nurturing others in your own way—you matter.

💚 Your story is valid.
💚 Your mental health deserves care too.
💚 And you are not alone.

Let’s talk about therapy. 💬 Not the dramatic kind you see in movies, not the “lying on a couch while someone silently judges you” type. We’re talking real therapy — the kind that can genuinely help you feel better, grow stronger, and live fuller. Let’s clear some things up with a little myth-busting and truth-telling, shall we? ✨
