In honor of October and Mental Health Awareness, Cybersecurity Awareness, and Domestic Violence Month, we have decided to do a unique collaboration! Our goal is to share YOUR story and to let others, and you, know you are not alone🫶
This month, Kizuna Counseling is partnering with Kuulei Photography to capture your story and your strength.
Here are samples of what we are looking to do. You can participate anonymously (no face photos) or you can share who you are. We want to break the stigma of mental health by capturing how you are feeling or have been treated.
Who we are looking for:
- Kids
- Teens
- Adults
- Moms
- Domestic violence victims (male & female)
Whether you have been bullied, sexually abused, physically abused, emotionally abused, or have other struggles that you would like to share, please reach out to either one of us and we would love to tell you more information!

Today, on World Mental Health Day, I want to take a minute to honor the courage it takes to care for your mind and heart.

🌺At Kizuna Counseling, I believe healing begins with connection — to yourself, to others, and to the parts of you that deserve understanding and compassion.

Mental health is not about perfection; it’s about giving yourself permission to feel, to rest, and to grow at your own pace.
Let’s continue to break the stigma together and create spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued. 💚

Wow! I’m speechless. The love and support I’ve felt since starting Kizuna Counseling has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you to my community for supporting me through it all! I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to everyone who made it out to my Ribbon Cutting Ceremony yesterday - I truly appreciate you all! Here’s to growing in a community I grew up in and giving back🤍

🌺Understanding common mental health conditions is such an important step in building awareness and compassion🤍

Anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other mental health challenges are not simply "in someone’s head" or something people can just "snap out of." They’re real, valid, and affect millions of people every single day.

When we take time to learn, we can:
✨ Recognize the signs early
✨ Offer support without judgment
✨ Remind ourselves and others that no one is alone

Mental health conditions do not define a person—they are just one part of their story. With care, resources, and support, healing and growth are always possible. 🌱

Let’s keep spreading understanding and breaking the stigma together. 💫
💌 Share this post to help raise awareness and remind others they’re not alone.

✨ Reminder: You can’t pour from an empty cup. As you go into the weekend, remember that taking care of yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.
Rest, breathe, and give yourself the same care you so freely give others🤍

🌊✨ Healing without words.
Sandtray Therapy gives you the freedom to create, explore, and process your inner world through symbols and imagination.

🌺Sometimes it’s hard to put feelings into words — the sand and figures become your voice, helping uncover stories, emotions, and strengths that live deep inside🫶🏻

It’s more than play. It’s a path to healing🤍

🌺If therapy has been on your mind lately…
Maybe it’s because a part of you is ready. Ready to feel lighter. Ready to understand yourself in new ways. Ready to stop carrying so much on your own😮‍💨

Therapy isn’t about being “broken” — it’s about giving yourself the care you’ve been giving to everyone else❤️‍🩹. It’s a place where you can speak your truth without fear, explore your story without shame, and slowly untangle what feels heavy. It's about feeling supported, having goals to work toward, recognizing patterns of behavior, and being confident in your decisions.

You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t even need to know where to begin. You just need to show up for yourself — and that is a powerful, brave first step🤍

Affirmations aren’t about pretending everything is okay — they’re about creating space for self-compassion and hope, even when things feel heavy😮‍💨

In therapy, we often explore the stories we tell ourselves. Many of us carry inner narratives shaped by past experiences, trauma, or unrealistic expectations. Affirmations give us a gentle way to rewrite those narratives — one phrase at a time😌

You don’t need to force belief. Just repeat. With time, the mind softens, and new pathways form. Affirmations are not magic — they’re medicine for the inner voice🤍

What affirmation are you speaking over yourself today? Drop it in the comments — someone else may need it too.

When words fall short, the Sandtray speaks🗣️
Sandtray Therapy allows emotions, memories, and inner worlds to be expressed through symbols and scenes - without pressure to explain🧠. It’s a space for healing through creativity and connection🫂.
