Happy Birthday to our amazing Office Manager, Tanja!

If there’s one constant in our office, it’s you. You lead and support our team in so many ways that often times go unseen. You bring solutions and find common ground. You take pride in your work, and always seek to move us forward.

Your commitment to making sure every person who walks through our doors feels seen and supported is something rare. It’s not just part of your job, it’s who you are.

We’re grateful every day for your leadership, your laughter, and the calm you bring when things get hectic. Wishing you the happiest birthday Tanja, you deserve to be celebrated big today! 💙

Ever wonder what a sound bath actually feels like?

Imagine being wrapped in a blanket of sound—soothing vibrations that move through your body, calming your nervous system and inviting your mind into stillness.

🕯️ Tomorrow night we’re hosting our first ever Sound Bath at Peaceful Waters — a gentle, gratitude-centered evening to release stress and reconnect with your inner calm.

We’ll have mats, blankets and pillows ready but feel free to bring anything that helps you feel cozy & a journal for guided gratitude journaling!

Give yourself permission to rest — you deserve it.

🎉 Congratulations to Julie Champagne on achieving her new credentials, moving from LCMHCA to LCMHC!

This milestone represents far more than a new set of initials. It reflects years of commitment, growth, and an incredible amount of work behind the scenes. To go from LCMHCA to LCMHC, clinicians must complete intense requirements like:
-At least 3,000 total supervised clinical hours, with a minimum of 300 direct client hours, sitting with real people through real struggles.
-Regular clinical supervision, case consultation, and ongoing evaluation.
-Continuing education, ethics training, and professional development.
-Balancing heavy caseloads, documentation, and the emotional weight of the work.

Julie has met and exceeded these expectations with grace, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Her clients are cared for with intention. Her colleagues are supported with kindness. And her community now benefits from the expertise that comes from sustained dedication

Congratulations, Julie. You’ve earned this. Your next chapter as an LCMHC is going to impact countless lives. 🙌

🎉 It’s Back. Introducing Navigating Neurodivergence for High School Students

Last year, our Navigating Neurodivergence group for middle schoolers was a huge success. Families asked us to bring it back for older students, and we listened. This time, we are opening the doors to 9th and 10th graders who are ready to build skills, confidence, and connection.

Many teens struggle to understand their unique brains and how to navigate daily challenges. Parents want to support them but often feel unsure how. This group brings both structure and support to help everyone move forward.

Teens diagnosed (officially or unofficially) with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and other neurodivergent conditions will learn how to:
✅ Understand what neurodivergence means for them
✅ Develop strategies for everyday challenges
✅ Strengthen social skills and build friendships
✅ Boost confidence and self-advocacy
✅ Explore how routines, environment, and nutrition can impact focus and mood
✅ Communicate needs clearly with parents, teachers, and others
Sessions are interactive, practical, and designed to meet teens where they are.
👉 Bonus: Parents will receive a recap session at the end with tools to support their teen at home.

📅 January 14 through February 18, 2025
⏰ Wednesdays, 5:30 to 7:00 PM
🔢 For 9th and 10th graders
📍 109 Currituck Commercial Dr. Suite J Moyock NC 27958
💲 35 dollars per session (pay as you go or in full)

This is not therapy. It is a supportive space where neurodivergent teens can learn, grow, and thrive.
Space is limited. Ready to join? Fill out the intake form here: https://forms.gle/9Cu1vVcLJTdtkBLh8

If you’ve ever had a castor oil pack during your service, you know how grounding it feels. 🕯️

We love using this simple therapy to support relaxation, digestion, and detox — the pack is placed over the liver and gently warmed with a heating pad, especially helpful this time of year when our bodies crave warmth and balance.

Ask about adding one to your next session or experience its benefits in our Ground & Restore seasonal massage, available only until the end of this month! ✨

So many in our community are feeling the weight of uncertainty right now. Families are struggling to cover groceries, parents need to stretch what’s left a little further. We can’t fix everything, but we can do something.

We’re launching an Emergency Food Drive to help local families bridge the gap.
We’re collecting:�🫙 Non-perishable foods and canned goods (please check expiration dates)�🍼 Diapers, wipes, and baby formula�💳 Gift cards or cash donations to purchase fresh essentials

Donations can be dropped off at either of our office locations during our regular business hours. You can also call us at 2522328086 or email at info@peacefulwaterscounseling.com if you have any questions.

Every item shared, every act of generosity, reminds our neighbors that they’re not forgotten. Let’s come together and be part of the solution, one small act of kindness at a time. ❤️
