✨ Self-Care Is More Powerful When It’s Well-Rounded ✨

Self-care isn’t one-size-fits-all and it doesn’t have to be complicated. Challenge yourself to choose one small self-care technique from each category and try to work it into your routine this week:

👟 Physical: Take a short walk, stretch, or prioritize rest
💙 Emotional: Practice compassion toward yourself or try stress-management techniques
💬 Social: Reach out to a supportive person or set a healthy boundary
🌿 Spiritual: Spend quiet time in nature, journal, or try a few minutes of meditation

Small, intentional steps can make a big difference in how we feel - mind, body, and spirit. 💚

Which category do you find the easiest to focus on? Which one needs a little more attention?

💚Team Member Spotlight: Meet Julie🎉

I’m honored to join the Pennock Center for Counseling team as the new Executive Director, where I bring over two decades of experience in mental health, education, and leadership. My background as a licensed therapist, clinical art therapist, and educator has shaped my holistic and inclusive approach to supporting individuals and communities.

Before stepping into this role, I oversaw the Boulder Strong Resource Center, a holistic healing and therapeutic center, supporting community healing in the aftermath of the Table Mesa/King Soopers tragedy of 2021. Bearing witness to the strength, connection, and resilience within that community was one of the most humbling and powerful experiences of my career.

At my core, I believe in the power of connection, creativity, and compassion to heal and transform lives. I’m passionate about building communities where people feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether I’m collaborating with staff, walking alongside someone on their healing journey, or dreaming up what’s next, my work is always guided by heart, integrity, and a deep respect for every person’s story.

In my spare time, I enjoy writing, creating beautiful spaces with feng shui design, traveling and taking my cat Alfredo for walks in the neighborhood.

✨ As we step into the new year, remember that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential. ✨

New Year’s resolutions don’t have to be about doing more; sometimes they’re about slowing down, setting boundaries, and prioritizing your mental well-being.

At Pennock Center for Counseling, we encourage you to include self-care as part of your goals for the year ahead. Whether it’s creating healthier routines, making rest a priority, or surrounding yourself with supportive people, small intentional steps can make a big difference. 💚
