πŸŒŽπŸ’› Today is World Kindness Day! πŸ’›πŸŒŽ

β€œBe kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.” β€” Wendy Mass

Kindness is one of the most powerful forms of connection and healing. Whether it’s offering a smile, lending a listening ear, or showing compassion toward yourself and others, small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Kindness is contagious. When we choose to lead with empathy, we help create a stronger, more compassionate community. πŸ’š

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Happy Veteran's Day! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Today we honor the brave individuals who have served our country with courage and dedication. At Ankeny Family Counseling, we are deeply grateful for the sacrifices made by veterans and their families, and we are committed to supporting their continued well-being here at home.

We are proud to have Kat Kaelin, t-LMHC, as part of our team. Kat has extensive experience working with veterans and their loved ones, providing compassionate care for challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions during and after military service.

Our office partners with the VA Community Care Network, making it easier for veterans to access high-quality mental health care close to home.
If you or someone you know is a veteran seeking support, we are here to help.
