🌿 Therapist Spotlight: Rachel Greenlaw, M.Ed., LPC 🌿

This week we’re highlighting Rachel Greenlaw, one of our talented and insightful therapists here at Harbor Counseling Services.

Rachel brings a genuine heart to the work she does. She’s thoughtful, intuitive, and deeply attuned to the emotional needs of her clients. Her approach is calm, reflective, and full of humor and humanity. She’s especially gifted at helping clients notice their own patterns and build greater self-understanding, often meeting them right where they are in life’s messy middle.

Rachel’s ability to hold space for honesty and growth makes her a strong fit for both kids and adults navigating change, stress, or identity work. She values real connection and encourages clients to show up authentically, imperfections and all.

Rachel currently offers in-person sessions on select days.

We’re grateful to have Rachel as part of our Harbor team—her depth, humor, and perspective bring balance and heart to our practice every day. 💙

There’s something simple yet deeply grounding about caring for another living thing, even something as small as our office fish. Taking a few quiet minutes to feed them, watch them swim, and notice their rhythm reminds us how connection and care don’t always need words.

At Harbor Counseling, we believe tending to others, whether it’s a pet, a plant, or a person, nourishes the soul just as much as it sustains life. 💙

🐾✨ Mental Health Monday with Pippa! ✨🐾

If you’ve ever needed a reminder that joy can be found in the smallest moments, just watch Pippa, our Harbor Counseling office pup, zoom around like the world is her racetrack. 💨🐶

The zoomies are her way of letting out energy, shaking off stress, and reminding us that play is therapy too. Sometimes our bodies know what we need before our minds catch up….and a little movement, silliness, or laughter can go a long way.

Because let’s be honest, depression can’t hit a moving target. 💛

So this week, take a cue from Pippa:
💛 Let yourself play.
💛 Shake off the stress.
💛 Find joy in motion.

Your mental health matters—and sometimes healing starts with a wagging tail and a burst of zoomies. 🐕💛

Happy Friday!!!

As you head into the weekend, remember this: taking care of your mental health is just as important as anything else on your to-do list. 💛

Therapy isn’t just for the hard days — it’s also a space to celebrate wins, learn new skills, and grow into the best version of yourself.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy (or coming back to it), let this be your sign ✨

📲 Scan our QR code below, shoot us an email, or give us a call to get started.

Here’s to rest, connection, and taking care of YOU this weekend.
