At Social Work Counseling Services, we value supervision. One thing our clients may not know is that behind the scenes, there is a supervisor checking in weekly on your progress and helping the therapist work through any struggles. We also have a clinical coordinator in addition to the supervisors who makes double sure that your therapist is doing everything they need to do!

Sooo I'd like to introduce you all to our brilliant empathic staff of supervisors! Please give them a 👏 or 🙌 in the comments below!

1. Women have natural leadership skills. Countries led by women, such as Finland, New Zealand, and Iceland, have consistently ranked high in economic stability, happiness, human development, sustainability, gender equality, and social welfare, demonstrating the positive impact of women in leadership.

2. Women excel at multitasking. Research has shown that women’s brains have stronger connections between the two hemispheres, which allows them to have a higher capacity for managing different tasks simultaneously, making them great multitaskers.

3. Women now control 40% of global wealth, but more importantly, they demonstrate a strong interest in sustainable investments, with 74% expressing a desire to increase the share of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments in their portfolios.

4. As of recent data, over 37% of UN humanitarian coordinators are women, a significant rise from 20% in 2010.

5. Research shows that matriarchal societies experience lower levels of violence and conflict compared to patriarchal societies. This is because women, who hold leadership roles, often prioritize peacebuilding and nurturing relationships.

This Thursday's spotlight belongs to our fabulous administrative staff! They keep this place running and always do it with a smile. From finding our lost items to taking as much time as necessary to answer our clients' questions, we are so so grateful for them.

Most people have the best intentions at heart when they're trying to support someone. Usually when you feel dismissed by someone, it's simply because the other person doesn't have the skills yet to give you what you need.

Most of us are taught to move forward from emotions rather than to hold space for them.

There are so many more ways to validate than just this example - encouraging them to feel the feeling, normalizing the feeling, naming the feeling, etc.

Join me in a challenge to validate one person's feelings this week! 💪❤️

Last night was a blast! And a great reminder that our job is more than a job to us. This group of people feels like a second family to so many of us, and we so hope our clients feel that warmth when they walk through our doors! ❤️

Thank you  for the reminder 🦋

Social Work Counseling Services invites our Astoria neighborhood to not only reflect on Black history itself this month, but also on how the rituals of remembering have helped shape culture, identity, and national understanding of Black life.

If you have a story to share this month of a Black owned business, success story, or cultural tradition, please message us to include it on our social media!

What you see here is a child taking time to write down her affirmations in a way that feels authentic…and fun. Try this at home with your kids. Or with yourself! Post them on your mirror. In front of your computer. At the fridge. Wherever you’re more likely to need a reminder of a kinder way to speak to yourself. And practice saying this daily! You have the power to change how your brain speaks.

Myth Buster time!

1) Dementia refers to conditions that lead to impaired memory, thinking, reasoning, and behavior. Alzheimer's is just one form of dementia.

2) A person's genetic history does make your chance of developing Alzheimer's more likely, but it doesn't mean that you will develop it.

3) While the greatest known risk factor is age, this doesn't mean that only older adults develop Alzheimer's. Some symptoms can first appear as young as in your 30s.

4) Common signs of Alzheimer's, such as making poor judgments and decisions, having problems recognizing friends and family, or losing track of the date or time of year are not a normal part of aging.

5) Several medications are now available to treat symptoms and slow the disease for some people living with Alzheimer's.

Something I think all childhood trauma survivors should know: There is nothing you could or should have done to make your parents treat you any differently.

You were a perfectly lovable child, and your parents' inability to show up for you was never your fault.
