THERAPIST SPOTLIGHT

Meet Abigail Ragan, MA! She is a Resident Counselor and has current openings. Call 276.300.4422 or email welcometohhcc@emailhope.com to schedule today!

We all move through life guided by an inner rhythm shaped by our experiences, values, and perspectives. My own rhythm is eclectic and deeply heart-centered. I find grounding and renewal through time outdoors, connection with animals, and reflective journaling and creative expression.

Intentionally pursuing what brings both passion and peace has shaped my personal and professional journey. As a counselor, I believe in honoring each individual’s unique story and helping clients reconnect with what brings clarity, balance, and authenticity to their lives.

As we step into a new season, my invitation is simple: pause, listen inward, and reconnect with the rhythm that’s uniquely yours. I enjoy creating a safe and relaxed environment where you can be yourself and feel seen, heard, and occasionally challenged towards deeper self-reflection, growth, and healing.

We often measure productivity by how much we cross off our to-do lists. But what if we measured it by the quality of our recovery? 📉✨

Stillness is the environment where the nervous system repairs itself. If you’re feeling burnt out, the solution isn’t to work harder—it’s to find a pocket of stillness.

How are you slowing down today?
* 5 minutes of deep breathing?
• A phone-free walk?
• Actually taking your full lunch break?

Drop a “🧘” if you’re prioritizing stillness today. Call or email to schedule with a counselor today who can help you find those moments of stillness. Prioritize you today.

Our Peace is Our Legacy ✊🏾🧠

This , the narrative is shifting from enduring struggle to embracing wellness. For Black young adults, prioritizing mental health is a powerful way to honor those who came before while protecting the future.

The weight of historical trauma and systemic barriers is real, but so is the power of a community that chooses to heal. According to , young adults are the architects of tomorrow—and that future is built on breaking the stigma.

✨ How the community leads the way:
• Sharing stories to normalize seeking support.
• Demanding representation and culturally competent care.
• Prioritizing joy as a radical form of resistance.

The ancestors fought for freedom; today’s generation is using that freedom to choose mental wellness. 🕊️🖤

In case no one told you today… you are enough, you are worthy, and you are so incredibly loved. 🍭❤️

This Valentine’s Day, we’re shifting the narrative. While everyone else is looking for love out there, we’re looking inward. The most defining relationship of your life is the one you build with yourself.

If you’re still carrying the weight of old heartbreaks or habits that don’t feel like you anymore, it’s time for a reset. 🕊️
In her book “You, Restored,” Cindy Addison moves past the surface-level “self-care” and dives into real inner restoration. It’s a guide to:

✨ Quieting the triggers that keep you stuck.
✨ Uncovering the “why” behind your patterns.
✨ Rewriting your past struggles into a new, triumphant story.

🎁 A Special Valentine’s Surprise: To help you kickstart this journey, the Kindle version of “You, Restored” is completely FREE from Feb 14-15.

Consider this your sign to choose yourself this year. No strings attached—just a genuine path toward the peace you deserve.

The “Love Letter to Yourself”

This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with the person you are becoming. 🕊️❤️

Most people spend Valentine’s Day looking for love externally. But the most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself.

Are you carrying “heartbreak” from the past that still triggers you today? Are there old habits or trials that keep you from being unapologetically you?

True self-care isn’t just bubble baths—it’s inner restoration. In “You, Restored,” Cindy Addison walks you through a gentle process to:

✨ Heal from the triggers that hold you back.

✨ Understand the “why” behind your habits.

✨ Turn your past trials into your future triumphs.

🎁 CINDY’S VALENTINE’S GIFT TO YOU: Because everyone deserves the tools to heal, the Kindle version is FREE this weekend only (Feb 14-15).

Give yourself the gift of a fresh start. No cost, just a path to peace.

It’s a bit of a trick, isn’t it? We often think of anxiety as just “shaking” or “panic,” but it likes to wear a lot of different masks. Sometimes it looks like a high-achiever’s drive, and other times it looks like a stomach ache that just won’t quit.
If you’ve been feeling any of these lately, consider this your gentle reminder that you’re not “difficult” or “failing”—you’re likely just carrying a very heavy mental load.

The Hidden Side of Anxiety
• Perfectionism: It’s not always about being the best; it’s often the fear of being “not enough.”
• Overthinking: When your brain replays a 5-second interaction for 5 hours.
• The Body Connection: Your gut is your “second brain.” If your mind is racing, your stomach might be, too.

Which one of these resonates with you the most today? Let’s talk about it in the comments. 👇

Meet Shelley, MA, Resident in Counseling. Shelley has availability for both in person and telehealth therapy sessions.

“I’m all about saying yes to new things and shaking up my perspective whenever I can! Getting outside - whether it’s a trail, a park, or just a sunny spot—keeps my mind grounded and reminds me how much nature supports my mental health. And honestly, exploring it with my pups makes it even better — they always remind me to stay present, curious, and goofy. Other activities in my life that support my mental health are skiing and exercising. Exercising weekly helps clear my mind from a long day and helps me maintain my mental health and skiing is also physical and provides a lot of enoyment!

Our work together can be flexible, such as walk and talk sessions or trying new activities that help keep you grounded. I believe in meeting my clients where they are at to create a safe space for healing.”
