Kindness does more than brighten someone’s day, it helps our nervous systems feel safer.

When we experience kindness, our bodies soften. Our breathing slows. Connection replaces isolation.

And that includes the kindness we offer ourselves.

Today, consider:
☀️ Sending the text
☀️ Leaving the note
☀️ Letting someone merge
☀️ Speaking to yourself with a little more compassion

Small moments matter.

What’s one act of kindness - outward or inward - you can practice today?

🎉 Happy Birthday to our fabulous therapy intern, Caroline! 🎉

Caroline is taking the semester off from seeing clients, but we’re cheering her on as she prepares to graduate in May and pursue licensure! She works with clients of all ages and has a special gift for connecting with preteens and adolescents. This summer, she’ll also be presenting at the American Mental Health Counselors Association conference (!!). We are so proud of you, Caroline, and so grateful to have you as part of the Sun team ☀️

Being present doesn’t mean being calm, happy, or “doing mindfulness right.”

It means learning how to notice what’s happening, without getting lost in it.

At SCW, we help clients build skills like contacting the present moment so they can feel more grounded, aware, and connected in daily life - even during stress, anxiety, or big emotions.

Mindfulness isn’t about changing who you are.
It’s about changing how you relate to your inner world.

If you’re curious about building these skills with support, we’re here ☀️

Happy happy birthday, Jackie! 🎉

You keep it real, keep us laughing, and always manage to be brilliant and deeply thoughtful at the same time. Your humor, intelligence, and the care you bring to your clients (and to this team) don’t go unnoticed - you consistently go the extra mile, always. We’re so lucky to have you and so grateful for all that you bring. Hope today feels as wonderful as you are ☀️

Proof that the universe gets you 🌅☀️

Juliet asked for a surprise drink and out came a “sunset” - while she’s rocking sun earrings, a sun necklace, and fully embodying the heart of Sun Counseling & Wellness. The sun always rises… and so does she.

Juliet lives our values every day: authenticity, compassion, creativity, education, service, and truly showing up - for clients, for this team, and for the work when it’s hard. We’re endlessly grateful for her steady, thoughtful leadership, her problem-solving superpowers, and her willingness to jump in and support at a moment’s notice.

Soak it up, Juliet - and thank you for being the light ☀️💙💚🧡

Motivation isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it doesn’t have to be all internal to be healthy.
⠀
Especially for kids, external support can be the bridge to confidence, independence, and intrinsic motivation over time ☀️

When the world feels unpredictable or unsafe, our minds do what they evolved to do:
➡️Scan for threats.
➡️ Replay what already went wrong.
➡️ Fast-forwards to everything that might go wrong.

That’s not weakness - it’s your nervous system doing its job.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy reminds us of something important:
A meaningful life isn’t a calm life.

It’s a life that makes room for the full range of human emotions - fear included.

Instead of asking, “How do I make this feeling stop?”

Try asking:
• “Can I notice this without fighting it?”
• “Can I come back to right now?”
• “What matters to me in this moment?”

You don’t have to solve the future today.
You don’t have to feel okay to move forward.

Small, values-based choices - even in fear - are what build resilience over time.

Your reactions make sense.
And you’re allowed to go slow. 🫶

It’s Maggie’s 3 YEAR Sun-iversary!!! 🥳 🎉

Maggie’s work with her clients is thoughtful, playful, and deeply attuned - and the impact she has on families doesn’t go unnoticed. We (and all of your kiddos!) are so lucky to have you. So much love and appreciation today and always! ☀️

We got to pop-up next to at a private film screening and mental health talkback yesterday!

The amount of teens that requested info on both of our services (and will now be reppin’ swag to end the stigma!) was inspiring ☀️

Grateful for community partners and everyone putting in the good, good work.

We’re celebrating ONE YEAR with Austin! 🥳

Austin brings his heart, energy, and commitment into his work with adolescent, teen, and young adult clients and is such an important part of our team! ☀️

When he’s not in the office, you can most definitely find him watching a movie or sports or listening to great music!

We’re so grateful to have you at Sun and we’re excited to see all that’s ahead! 💙💚🧡
