Last week we kicked off the holiday season, starting with a morning of volunteering at Families Helping Families of Iowa followed by a fun-filled afternoon with our Monopoly-themed holiday party! From fun holiday outfits to a live auction to a few stints in "jail", there was plenty of laughter, competition, and enjoying time together!

Shout out to for the delicious charcuterie and cookies!

The holidays are often portrayed as a season of joy and connection, but they can also bring stress, pressure, and overwhelm. If this sounds familiar to you, revisit our blog to find practical guidance for creating healthy boundaries that protect your well-being while still allowing space for meaningful moments. From saying "no" to events that don't align with your values, to quieting the noise of comparison on social media, you can approach this season with greater authenticity and ease.

Give yourself the gift of peace this year and learn how to "hold yes" alongside your boundaries.

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to the newest member of our team, Shayla Stacey!

Before becoming a therapist, Shayla spent years as a high school English teacher - helping teens survive Shakespeare, commas, and the mysteries of essay writing. Now, instead of grading papers, she is sitting with people in their real-life stories, which she finds infinitely more meaningful.

As a mental health counselor, Shayla works with teens (14+) and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD/neurodivergence, and the beautiful chaos that comes with motherhood.

Shayla's style is warm, down-to-earth, and sprinkled with humor (because sometimes laughter really IS the best medicine!). She incorporates Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) into her work with clients to create a comfortable, collaborative and engaging counseling experience.

We're thrilled to have Shayla on board! Her dedication to making clients feel valued, validated, and inspired aligns beautifully with our mission here at MWR Counseling.

Welcome, Shayla!

Feeling disconnected or stuck in painful patterns with people you care about?

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can heal old wounds, shift rigid attachment styles, and bring safety and connection back into relationships. Whether you're navigating relationship struggles, working through past hurts, or trying to better understand how your attachment styles impacts your life, it's possible to find more secure bonds, greater emotional safety, and real closeness.

Read more in Janey's latest blog post to discover the stages of EFT, how therapy helps you change long-standing patterns, and why attachment matters so much in how we see ourselves and relate to others.

We are thrilled to share that MWR is now offering ADHD consultation services!

As our understanding of ADHD has expanded in recent years, more and more adults have found themselves wondering if undiagnosed ADHD may be a part of their story. Our consultations are designed to provide diagnostic clarity and insight into the way your mind works to help you begin working with your natural tendencies.

ADHD consultation at MWR is provided by Erin Thiemann, LMHC. Erin is a Certified Affirmative Assessor for ADHD through MindfulU and works from a neuro-affirming lens. ADHD consultation is not a full psychological evaluation, but a structured, evidence-informed consultation tailored specifically to ADHD.

ADHD consultation at MWR is a private pay service, and at this time is offered to individuals 18 and older.

If you are wondering if ADHD may be playing a role in your life, give us a call at 319.250.1267 to learn more!

Ever wondered why your partner's mood can lift you up - or weigh you down? The answer lies in attachment theory.

From infancy to adulthood, the way our needs were met (or not met) by caregivers shapes how we connect, trust, and seek comfort in relationships. The good news? Attachment styles aren't fixed - they can grow and change over time.

Read more in Janey's latest blog post and explore how understanding attachment can strengthen your relationships.

It's back to school time!

Amidst all of the back to school shopping and soaking up the last fews days of summer vacation, it may be helpful to also think about the impact the transition back to school may have on your kids and families. Many kids experience after-school restraint collapse, which can contribute to additional stress, frustration, and conflict at home.

Check out Annika's blog all about after-school restraint collapse to see how you and your family can cope and adjust to this upcoming transition!
