🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Pierce Counseling & Consulting!

We hope today is filled with love, joy, and peace for you and your families.

Whether you’re gathering around the table, connecting from afar, or simply taking a moment to rest, may you find gratitude in the small moments and warmth in the company of those you love.

On top of what may already be a stressful job, the holiday season can bring even more to juggle, both for us and for our clients.

As clinicians, we often hold space for others, but we also need to make sure we’re caring for ourselves.

Do you have transition care set up for yourself?

Take a moment to transition out of time with clients—or into it.

Give yourself space before shifting from work to home or vice versa. A few quiet minutes, a walk, or even deep breathing can help you reset and protect your energy.

Your clients will benefit when you show up replenished, and so will you. 🌿

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

It feels especially important to honor and remember the transgender community today.

At Pierce Counseling & Consulting, we promise, we see you, we value you, and we are so glad you are here and exactly who you are.

We honor the lives lost to anti-transgender violence and recommit ourselves to creating spaces of safety, affirmation, and healing for all trans and gender-expansive individuals.

At Pierce Counseling & Consulting, we like to remind you:

“Nothing changes if nothing changes.”

Change can feel uncomfortable, even when we know it’s needed. Growth asks us to step into the unknown, and that can be hard. But you don’t have to do it alone.

Our team is here to help you move forward, one step at a time. Together, we’ll find the tools and confidence you need to create meaningful change in your life. 🌿

"How do I know what to ask for in therapy?"

Good news — you don’t have to have the answer to that question before you begin.

Dr. Monica reminds us that therapy is a journey, not a test. You don’t need the perfect words or a clear roadmap to start. Your therapist will help you uncover what you need, one conversation at a time.

Is this your first holiday season after the loss of a loved one?

We know how tough this transition can be. The holidays often bring back memories, emotions, and moments that can feel especially heavy when someone you love is missing.

You don’t have to face it alone. Pierce Counseling & Consulting is here to help you navigate this season with care, understanding, and support.

If you need help during this transition time, please let us be there for you.

Clinicians, here’s a Friday check-in for you.

We know, we’re all feeling the weight of the world these days. Personally, as humans, and also in what we carry from our clients.

Take a moment to check in on your own fatigue.

Take inventory of your stress levels.

Remember: you cannot fill from an empty cup. 🩷

This weekend, do something that restores you. Your well-being matters just as much as the people you care for.

This November, make sure you leave space for change.

Whether it’s simply adjusting to the shifting seasons or taking time to acknowledge the bigger changes that have shaped your year, it all matters.

As the holidays approach, this may be the first time you’ve had a quiet moment to process everything that’s happened. That reflection can bring both gratitude and grief.

If you need someone to help you work through those changes, we’re here for you. 🩷

Welcome to Pierce counseling services, where we prioritize your well-being through compassionate support for anxiety, depression, stress, and an array of challenges.
