April is National Counseling Awareness Month, and this Friday, April 10, is Wear Teal Day to show support and recognition for the incredible work counselors do every day.

Sponsored annually by the American Counseling Association (American Counseling Association), National Counseling Awareness Month highlights the vital role professional counselors play in promoting mental health, wellness, and personal growth. The month also helps reduce stigma, educate the public, and honor the impact counselors have in helping individuals lead healthier lives.

We’d love to see you join in! If you have something teal, wear it this Friday to help celebrate and spread awareness.

April is World Autism Acceptance Month, a time to move beyond awareness and toward understanding, inclusion, and support.

Research shows that 8 in 10 autistic people experience mental health challenges at some point in their lives. This highlights the importance of accessible mental health care, supportive communities, and environments where neurodiversity is respected and valued.

Acceptance means listening, learning, and creating spaces where autistic individuals can thrive exactly as they are.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAM). SAAM reminds us how many lives are shaped by this issue—almost everyone knows or loves a survivor, even if their story is held quietly. For many, the impact isn’t something that fades; it’s a weight carried across a lifetime, softened only by support, understanding, and the slow work of healing. This month calls us to meet survivors with empathy, to believe them, and to build a culture rooted in consent and respect. In doing so, we help ensure no one has to shoulder that heaviness without compassion beside them.

My name is Addie and I am the Clinical Manager at our Shawano Outpatient Location. I also am a Licensed Therapist and provide services to children (6+) and adults with Mental Health and/or Substance Use issues. I facilitate adult intensive outpatient (IOP) groups and provide individual therapy with a specialization in complex trauma. My clinical approach integrates EMDR, Brainspotting and somatic-based processing to support nervous system healing and trauma resolution. I also incorporate creative expression into therapy, recognizing the importance of experiential and nonverbal pathways in recovery. My work focused on helping clients build safety, resilience and sustainable change.

When I am not working, I recharge through reading, time with family and being outdoors. Nature keeps me grounded, coffee keeps me going and video games remind me of the importance of play and restoration- values I also bring into my work with clients.

I became the change I once wished for. While none of us can rewrite our childhood experiences, we can heal, reclaim our voice and become the safe, grounded presence we needed when we were younger. That belief is at the heart of my work.

Corrin recently represented CORE at a Career Day at Pioneer Elementary in Ashwaubenon, speaking with 3rd–5th grade students about careers in the mental health field. As the only therapist in attendance, she had the unique opportunity to introduce students to the importance of mental health and the role of counseling in supporting individuals and communities.

She shared that the students were incredibly engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and showed genuine curiosity about the field. It was also a great opportunity to highlight the work CORE does every day. Experiences like this reinforce the importance of continuing conversations around mental health in schools and inspiring the next generation.
