You don’t have to hit rock bottom to start therapy.

You can come because:
– You’re exhausted.
– Your marriage feels distant.
– Your child is struggling.
– Anxiety is louder than it used to be.
– You’re functioning… but not thriving.

Therapy isn’t just for crisis.
It’s for growth. Clarity. Healing.

Please consider sharing as this might resonate with someone you know. 💛

💭 Thoughts Are Not Facts.

We all have an inner narrator - but not everything it says is true.

“I’m not good enough.”
“People will think I’m weird.”
“I can’t handle this.”

These thoughts can feel convincing, but they’re just mental events - not facts.

Try this:
1️⃣ Notice the thought.
2️⃣ Label it: “I’m having the thought that…”
3️⃣ Ask: “Is this thought helpful or true?”

Practicing this small shift builds mental flexibility & helps reduce anxiety & negative self-talk.

You can be surrounded by people & still feel alone.

According to recent findings, more adults today - especially those in their 40s & 50s - are experiencing rising loneliness. Even those juggling careers, parenting, church, sports, & responsibilities can feel disconnected without fully knowing why. Stress, grief, & life transitions often play a quiet role.

The good news? Small, intentional steps can rebuild connection. One helpful framework is the 5–3–1 Rule:

• 5 - Each week, connect with 5 people or groups (friends, co-workers, neighbors, new faces).
• 3 - Each month, nurture 3 meaningful relationships through deeper conversation.
• 1 - Aim for 1 hour of social connection daily — a brief call, coffee chat, or quick check-in counts.

Tiny interactions add up. Over time, these steady moments of connection help rebuild belonging & remind us -we’re not alone.

If you’re feeling disconnected, please reach out.
Northern Plains Psychological Associates & Crossway Christian Counseling are here to walk alongside you. 💛

Feeling overwhelmed lately? Here’s a simple way to understand why — and what to do about it.

🪣 The Stress Bucket. Imagine your ability to handle stress like a bucket. Each stressor - work, relationships, finances, lack of sleep - adds water to the bucket. When it overflows, symptoms like irritability, anxiety, & fatigue appear.

You can’t always stop stress from pouring in, but you can open the drain with rest, connection, faith, prayer, exercise, & time in nature, for example.

💙 This week, ask yourself: What’s filling my bucket? And what can I do today to help it drain?

We’re joining other local providers for the “Aberdeen Mental Health Providers Against Hunger” food drive! 🥫

Sometimes we expect progress to look like steady forward motion — but healing comes with pauses, setbacks, & moments of rest. Rest isn’t weakness; it’s part of the process that helps your mind, body, & spirit restore balance.

💙 You are not behind. You are healing — even in the quiet moments.
