As we move into the holiday season a time that can bring both joy and emotional complexity I want to make sure you have the support, clarity, and continuity you need.
Please note our adjusted hours of operation for the upcoming holidays:
• Closed:
Wednesday, December 24 (Christmas Eve)
Thursday, December 25 (Christmas Day)
Friday, December 26 (Day After Christmas)
Wednesday, December 31 (New Year’s Eve)
Thursday, January 1 (New Year’s Day)
• Reopening:
Friday, January 2 We will resume normal business hours and will accommodate rescheduled appointments from Wednesday and Thursday of the New Year Holiday Week.
Scheduling Requests
If you have a session scheduled for Wednesday or Thursday before Christmas, I strongly encourage you to reach out as soon as possible to reschedule for Monday or Tuesday of that week to ensure we get the opportunity to see each other.
These pre-holiday sessions are critical touchpoints to help ensure:
• emotional regulation is steady,
• coping skills feel accessible, and
• you enter seasonal family spaces grounded, prepared, and supported.
Your mental wellness deserves proactive care especially during times when family dynamics, reminders of grief, travel, financial expectations, and traditions can stir things up
A Quick Word on Boundaries & Family Gatherings
This season often comes with the unspoken script of forced hugs, unwanted cheek pinches, or pressure to “be polite.” Consider this your official memo to honor your own boundaries and empower the little ones in your life to do the same.
• No means no even from toddlers, even with family.
• Bodily autonomy is a year round policy, not a seasonal suggestion.
• Protecting your peace is not disrespectful. It’s responsible.
• And supporting a child who says “I don’t want to hug right now” is one of the strongest ways to model emotional safety.
Your comfort matters. Your children’s comfort matters. Boundaries are not barriers they’re bridges to healthier relationships!
If you need to adjust your upcoming appointments or want to schedule in advance of the closures, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. I look forward to supporting you in navigating this season with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
Warmly,
Camille Dukes Hester, MSW, LCSWA

Super grateful to the amazing staff at Microsoft for inviting us to speak to their teams, nation wide! Today I had the opportunity to coach over 600 team members and leadership in mental wellness and work place balance. They were so engaging and attentive, it was an absolute pleasure and I look forward to many more opportunities with this phenomenal company! Thank you Yolanda Yoli Briggs for having us!

🌿 Facebook Live: “What’s the Difference? Boundaries, Rules, vs. Expectations”

Ever wonder why some relationships leave you feeling drained, misunderstood, or just plain confused? You might be mixing up boundaries, rules, and expectations and trust me, they’re not the same thing!

Join me Camille Hester, MSW, LCSWA, Clinical Therapist and owner of Courageous Journeys Healing Center PLLC, for a powerful and down-to-earth conversation that breaks it all down.

We’ll explore:
✨ The real purpose of boundaries and how to set them without guilt.
✨ The difference between rules and control (because yes, there’s a line).
✨ How unspoken expectations quietly sabotage connection.
✨ Practical ways to communicate your needs clearly and confidently.

This session is perfect for anyone working on self-growth, healing from past relationships, or learning to honor their peace while staying connected to others.

🗓 Sunday, October 12th
🕐 1:00–2:00 PM EST
📍 Streaming Live on Facebook

Bring your journal, your tea, and your real life examples we’re unpacking it all. 💬💛
Because healing starts where clarity begins.

Good morning y'all! Just a quick reminder that every single day, you’re handed the power to make someone feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Today is no different. Choose to use that power with kindness. Make the right choice.

🚨 Volunteer Alert 🚨
We’re pulling up to Greensboro Pride on Sept 20th looking fabulous, hydrated, and maybe a little too caffeinated. 💅🏽 But listen… we can’t serve all this healing energy and rainbow realness by ourselves!

So if you’ve ever thought, “Wow, I’d look great passing out flyers and smiling like Beyoncé at a meet-and-greet,” — this is your moment.

Sign up, Fam. Your community needs you, your therapist approves, and your future self will thank you. 💖

Anxious attachment, also known as preoccupied attachment, is an insecure attachment style characterized by a deep fear of abandonment and a strong desire for closeness, often stemming from inconsistent caregiving during childhood. Adults with this style may crave constant reassurance, struggle with trust and self-worth, become overly dependent, and exhibit jealousy in relationships. Healing involves self-awareness, practicing self-soothing, challenging negative thoughts, open communication, and seeking therapy to shift towards a more secure attachment style.
Think you're struggling with anxious attachments? Schedule an appointment today and let's talk about it.
