Batavia comes together tonight. 🤍

We understand that recent events have deeply impacted our community and left many feeling uncertain or distrustful. Those feelings are real, and valid.

Local therapists are coming together this evening to offer a brief presentation and help reestablish a sense of safety and trust. We’ll be available to answer questions, listen, and offer steady, compassionate support to anyone attending.

This event is open to everyone, those directly affected and those wishing to support others.

Presentation materials and a list of resources will be available early this week on the Batavia Counselors Collaboration page.

🕰️ 6PM

Our hearts are heavy as our community processes the recent news surrounding Hanson Family Chiropractic in Batavia. The allegations have shaken the trust of many families and individuals who sought care and now find themselves navigating deep feelings of confusion, anger, and betrayal.

This Sunday evening, Annie Barsch, LMFT, owner of Mind Matters Private Practice in Elburn and a local Batavian, will lead a community presentation alongside other local therapists to help guide and support those affected.

The presentation, will focus on:
✨ Understanding and naming the wide range of emotions that may surface: shock, grief, violation, fear, and anger.
✨ Supporting parents with children who may have been impacted.
✨ Managing anxiety and the emotional weight of the legal process.
✨ Knowing where to turn for continued mental health and advocacy support.

Following Sunday’s event, the presentation and a list of trusted local therapists and community resources will be available on the Batavia Counselors Collaboration website.

For anyone affected by this situation, directly or indirectly, please know that you are not alone and support is available.

I’ll be attending Sunday’s event and am here, alongside my team, many other trauma-trained professionals,and members of the Batavia Counselors Collaboration to support our community through this. 🤍

The seasons change fast, but healing takes its own pace.

In a world that constantly tells us who to be
and on a day like today, when we’re encouraged to be anyone but ourselves…
we want to remind you: BE YOU.

Even when comparison creeps in.
Even when you’ve lost sight of who that really is.

The therapists at Stronger are here to help you rediscover your truest self,
the one that’s been there all along. 🤍

✨ Don’t you wish this post was to announce that Gina’s back in the Batavia office? 😉

While that’s not the case, we can celebrate Gina Quinn, LCPC marking 4 years with Stronger! 🤍

From the start, Gina has been a steady, compassionate presence, holding space for her clients with care and bringing a critical clinical eye to her work.

She’s skilled at assessing what’s beneath the surface and helping clients connect the dots between their symptoms and the healing that follows.

Over the years, Gina has continued to expand her expertise with specialized training in trauma treatment, ACT, Mindfulness, and EMDR…always striving to grow in ways that make her an even stronger therapist for her clients. 🌱

Gina’s also stepped into a new role as a clinical supervisor, guiding our intern-turned-staff member, Alayna, with calm confidence and thoughtful insight. Behind the scenes, she’s also partnering with leadership to enhance our treatment-planning process, helping our team refine the quality of care we provide across the board.

What we value most about Gina is her mix of clinical wisdom, honesty, and quiet humor- she’s serious when it matters but never afraid to share a laugh (and we love that about her).

Here’s to you, Gina, and to four years of growth, excellence, and heart with Stronger… and to all the future memories still to be made as you continue contributing to our clients, our community, our practice, and our team. 🤍

Today we’re celebrating our amazing Intake Coordinator, Lisa, and her 3-year anniversary with Stronger! 🤍

One of the things we love most about Lisa is her heart for our clients. She truly understands the courage it takes to reach out for therapy, and she’s always finding new ways to make that first step feel a little easier.

From her kind words to her thoughtful follow-ups, Lisa goes above and beyond to ensure every person who reaches out feels supported, seen, and reminded that we’re here when you’re ready. 💫

Join us in celebrating Lisa and all she does to make Stronger such a welcoming place for our clients and our team! 🤍

Eight years ago, Stronger began as a hope, literally
a small step toward helping people feel more grounded, capable, and connected in their lives.

Like a mountain, this work has been built season by season, shaped by steady growth, moments of fog and uncertainty, and glimpses of breathtaking clarity. Each challenge has deepened our roots. Each client, each story, each season has helped us rise stronger.

This anniversary feels like standing above the clouds, seeing how far we’ve come, while knowing there’s always more to explore ahead.

To everyone who’s been part of this journey, our team, clients, and community, THANK YOU. Your trust and courage continue to inspire what we do every day.

Here’s to being Stronger, Always 🤍
Rooted in healing and ready for what’s next.
