We are so excited for Conscious Collaborations on May 1, 2026.

Join us at the Portland Community Center as we welcome Rebecca Vahle, MA, as our keynote speaker. Her message on trauma aware care for our patients and ourselves truly sets the tone for the day, and we cannot wait to share the full lineup of speakers and wellness sessions designed to inspire, connect, and restore.

Tickets go live this Saturday, so stay tuned!

We will also be announcing our breakout sessions soon, along with a special surprise just for conference attendees.

Motivational Monday:
I am capable.

You have made it through hard days before. You have grown in ways you may not even recognize yet. Strength does not always feel loud or obvious, but it is there.

Today is a reminder that you are capable of taking the next step, whatever that looks like for you.

We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with students at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

Peg recently spoke with students about mental health, counseling, and the work happening every day at Family Counseling Service. We were especially encouraged to hear that several students followed up afterward to share how meaningful the presentation was.

Thank you to Professor Callie Shaw for the invitation and for creating space for these important conversations. We look forward to continued collaboration!

Support Local. Celebrate Local.

The Bend Magazine’s Locals List nominations are now open, and we would be honored if you would consider nominating your favorite therapist.

If a therapist at Family Counseling Service has made a difference in your life, your family, or someone you love, this is a meaningful way to show appreciation for the work they do every day in our community.

It’s that time again, Coastal Bend!
Nominations for our annual readers’ choice poll, “The Local’s List,” are open.

Every year, The Bend asks readers to highlight the very best our region has to offer—local businesses going above and beyond, restaurants serving top-tier tastes and the first-rate amenities that make life here a little sweeter. From old favorites to exciting newcomers, it’s all up to you.

How it works:
✨From Feb. 16 – Mar. 9, nominate your favorites in 150+ categories.
✨The top five nominees in each category will move on to the final voting round (Apr. 13 – May 4).

We’ll gather the winners and reveal them in our July 2026 print issue.

NOMINATE NOW:
