Nick Finnegan Counseling Center

Nick Finnegan Counseling Center A unique, non-profit providing personalized service and excellence in counseling at affordable rates

Established in 2008, the organization was renamed Nick Finnegan Counseling Center in 2011 as a way for Bill and Susan Finnegan to honor their late son, Nick, who passed away several years earlier in an automobile accident. Support from family, friends and counselors helped the Finnegans grieve their loss. Because of this support, they found faith to move forward as a family, and in turn, wanted to give similar support to others. Along with the Finnegan family, NFCC raises awareness about and provides cost-effective mental health resources to Houstonians.

Today’s gratitude practice comes from Whitney Sharman, our donor relations specialist. Whitney shares how she uses the time in her car to practice gratitude. As Houstonians, we know we spend a lot of time in our cars, so maybe this is a suggestion you take today and practice a little gratitude during this busy season!

Today is Election Day! Voting carries emotional weight, not just political significance.

It activates the parts of us tied to identity, values, belonging, and care for our community.

That means your nervous system might be a little louder today.

You don’t need to minimize that.
You don’t need to power through it.
You don’t need to argue to prove you care.

You can show up, use your voice, and also rest.
You can participate without absorbing it all.

You matter here.
