Love doesn’t just disappear—it changes shape when our focus does.

In this clip, Jordan B. Peterson unpacks the idea of how to stop falling out of love. While genuine relational trauma repair involves far deeper and more layered work, this message touches on an important starting point: shifting perception.

When partners learn to redirect attention toward what they desire to see—kindness, effort, appreciation—instead of reinforcing only what’s wrong, the brain begins to rewire its filters. This phenomenon, known as frequency illusion, allows us to start noticing more of the good and less of the negative our minds have been conditioned to expect.

In therapy, this isn’t about ignoring pain—it’s about retraining awareness to make room for repair. Healing begins where intentional focus meets emotional safety.

At River City Counseling, every session is more than just an hour on the calendar—it’s an opportunity to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families as they rediscover hope, healing, and fulfillment.

We are humbled to play even a small role in changing the landscape and trajectory of lives in the River Valley. Each conversation, each breakthrough, and each step toward growth reminds us why we do this work: to help create more sustainable, thriving lives and relationships.

From marriages restored, to individuals finding strength, to families building deeper connections—we count it all as a privilege.

Thank you for trusting us with something as precious as your emotional health. It’s an honor to be a guide in your journey, and we remain deeply grateful to serve this incredible community we call home.

🌱 The Resiliency of a W**d 🌱

Most people see w**ds as a nuisance—something to pull, spray, or get rid of. But if you really think about it, there’s something remarkable about them.

W**ds don’t choose the perfect conditions. They don’t wait for the best soil, the right weather, or a careful gardener. They grow wherever they land—between cracks in the sidewalk, in dry and rocky soil, even in the harshest heat. Against all odds, they find a way to thrive.

Sometimes, life feels a lot like that. We face challenges, heartbreak, and circumstances we didn’t ask for. But just like that w**d pushing through concrete, you have an incredible ability to rise, adapt, and keep growing—even when life doesn’t give you perfect conditions.

If today feels heavy, remember this:
✨ You are stronger than you realize.
✨ Growth is still possible right where you are.
✨ Resilience lives within you.

Keep going. Keep growing. 🌿

🎉 Three Years of Healing, Growth & Impact 🎉

This month marks 3 incredible years since we opened our doors with just one therapist and a vision: to create a space where healing could truly begin. Today, that vision has grown into a thriving practice of 11 dedicated therapists, 2 amazing office administrators, and of course, our beloved therapy dog Ranger—who’s been known to offer a few tail wags of comfort along the way. 🐾

Together, we now conduct over 1,000 sessions per month, walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they move through the hard things toward the life they deserve. We’ve had the honor of helping so many begin the repair processes that once sidelined them from fulfillment—and we are deeply proud of that work.

🏆 Named Best of the Best Counseling Service, we’ve not only built a space for clients to heal, but a culture where therapists can thrive, grow, and do their best work—personally and professionally.

To our clients: Thank you for trusting us with something as deeply personal and sacred as your emotional health. Your courage to begin, and continue, this journey inspires us every single day.

Here’s to all we’ve built—and all that’s yet to come. 💙

Healing Isn’t Linear - And That’s Okay

Therapy is not a straight path from pain to peace. It’s a journey full of highs and lows, insights and setbacks, clarity and confusion. Some sessions feel like breakthroughs. Others might feel heavy or still. That’s all part of the process.

At River City Counseling, we walk with you through each phase—celebrating your growth, holding space for your struggles, and helping you reconnect with your sense of self. Healing isn’t about “fixing” you; it’s about restoring what’s been lost and learning to carry your story with strength and compassion.

🌟 Dad’s, You ROCK!! 👊🏼 🌟

This Father’s Day, we pause to honor the deep strength, quiet protection, and selfless love that so many fathers give—often without recognition or praise.

To the fathers who are present in the everyday moments, who show up with patience, courage, and unconditional care—your steady presence matters more than words can say.

And to those who are no longer with us, but whose guidance and love still echo in our lives—you are never forgotten. Your legacy lives on in the hearts you helped shape.

To every man who has stepped into the role of father with love and intention—thank you.
You are seen. You are valued. You are essential.

💙 From all of us at River City Counseling, Happy Father’s Day.

✨ Your inner child is still listening. ✨

So many of us walk through life carrying invisible wounds from our earliest years—wounds that quietly whisper, “You’re not enough,” or “You have to earn love.”

But those beliefs aren’t truths.
They’re survival stories.
And they can be rewritten.

Healing begins when we offer our inner child the safety, love, and acceptance they always needed. That’s the work we do in therapy—and it’s some of the most powerful, life-changing work there is.

If you’re ready to start your healing journey, we’re here to walk with you.
