I LOVE Spring! It's truly such a beautiful time of year.

Everything starts to grow again, the flowers start popping up, and the warmer weather just helps me feel more alive.

I also love the symbolism that comes with the spring season. My clients know that I love metaphors and there are just so many good ones tied in to the spring season. It's a season full of growth, new beginnings, and many fresh starts!

But here's the thing-- while some things grow so beautifully when untouched, such as wildflowers, other gorgeous plants grow better when we give them extra love and care. Think about roses, hydrangeas, irises, and peonies. We have to prune those plants and get rid of the "yuck" to help them reach their full potential each year.

Humans are no different.
Some of us don't feel we need any extra support.
Some of us need a little boost from time to time.
And some of us know we need to trim off the dead weight or toxic parts to be able to really be our best.

And yet, we are all beautiful.
We all have potential.
We all have something great to add to the world.
We all have value.

With the official start of spring being only 24 days away, take this as your sign to think about what extra nourishment or TLC you need to help grow into the best version of yourself this year.

You deserve to tend to your own needs this spring.

Feel like you might need a little boost?
Want to prune the unhelpful behaviors or attitudes you've held on to for way too long?
Wondering how to pull the weeds out of the garden of your life?

Therapy really can help.

It doesn't have to be a long-term commitment. It can be a few sessions to help you set a game plan and be on your way. It can be a spring full of weekly growth opportunities and new habits. It can be a monthly check-in to make sure you're still on track for your goals.

I believe in you!

Sometimes “I’m sorry” is the only thing that comes to mind when someone is hurting.
But what people often need most is to feel seen, believed, and supported.

These simple phrases can help create space for someone to share without feeling rushed, judged, or pressured to be okay. You do not have to fix it. Showing up and listening matter.

Save this for later or share it with someone who might need it today.

If you or someone you care about is struggling, support is available.
Call or text 988 for the Su***de and Crisis Lifeline or call the JCMHC Crisis Line at 913-268-0156.

Hi, I’m Reagan Duenckel, PLPC, a licensed mental health therapist in Missouri. I’m supervised by Katie Wooldridge, LPC, and based virtually out of her clinic in Boonville, MO. I offer virtual evening therapy sessions to anyone in Missouri, because I know how challenging it can be to make time for your mental health in a busy life!
I love working with people who are so eager to heal, who are curious about the “why”, and who are ready to take the next step in their journey. I want to walk along side you, at your pace, to help you on your journey to healing.
My sessions are private pay- I do not accept insurance at this time.
I offer free 15 minute consultations where you can learn more about my style and approach, and ask questions about therapy as a whole. Please message me or email me at honeycreekwellness@gmail.com to learn more.

Who is therapy for anyway?! ⁉️

🩵For the one who’s chasing their dreams at college, but feeling overwhelmed by the high demands and constant schedule changes.

🩷For the one who is finally out of that bad relationship and is ready to figure out the whole person they are on their own.

💚For the one whose anxiety is always “on” and won’t turn off.

🤍For the one whose life is “fine” but is looking for ways to improve confidence and overall happiness.

💙For the one who experienced something traumatic and feels ready to move forward from it.

🧡For the one who doesn’t really know what’s wrong, but just knows they want to feel better.

💛For the one who is feeling buried in their grief and wants to heal but also doesn’t want to forget about who/what they lost.

💜For the one who knows their mental health is affecting their physical wellbeing and is eager to improve their overall wellness.

❣️❣️You don’t have to be “severely broken” or in the hardest season of anyone you’ve ever known to benefit from therapy. Just because others may have it “worse” doesn’t mean you aren’t deserving of help and healing.

❕❕In my therapy sessions, I don’t view you as someone who’s broken and needs fixing, but rather, as someone seeking perspective and education to improve your life in a way that matters most to you.

Friend, maybe, just maybe.. therapy is for YOU. 🩵

Think about it...

If you started therapy today, by Summer 2026, you could be a better version of yourself. Happier. Lighter. More free. Closer to your goals.

Therapy isn’t just for when things are falling apart (though it's good for that too.)

It’s also for seasons of growth.
It’s an opportunity for healing.
It’s for learning how to respond instead of react.
It’s for changing patterns that no longer serve you.
It’s for becoming the version of yourself you’ve been dreaming of.

Just like you wouldn’t expect to get physically stronger after one workout, emotional growth takes time.
Summer will come either way...The question is: who do you want to be when summer arrives?

More at peace with your life?
More confident in yourself and who you are?
More emotionally available for yourself and those you love?
More aligned with your goals?

Starting therapy now means giving yourself the gift of progress. Small steps today can create powerful change in a few short months.

Future you will thank current you for taking this step. 💛

Signed,
A therapist who was once someone who desperately needed to take that leap in order to become a better version of herself, and is so so glad she did.

When progress feels slow, remember this: healing takes time - and God is never in a hurry. Trust that God is working beneath the surface, in ways you may not see yet. ⏰

You pour so much love into others; don’t forget you deserve that same kindness. Start showing up for yourself the way you do for the people you care about. 🌼
