Today, we hold space for the invisible journey of grief.

November 21st is International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day (ISOSLD). If you are a survivor, you know that this grief is complex, isolating, & often confusing. It doesn't follow a straight line. There is no timeline for healing, & there is certainly no right or wrong way to feel.

**Your pain is valid & is most certainly REAL.
**Your memories are invaluable & precious.
**Your feelings of anger, confusion, & love can ALL coexist.
**You are NOT alone.

At The Couch Counseling, we specialize in helping survivors navigate the unique challenges of su***de loss—from processing trauma & guilt to finding a new path forward. We offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore this difficult experience. The aftermath of su***de loss presents challenges unlike any other form of grief. It often involves layers of complex, painful emotions: trauma, guilt, confusion, & deep loneliness.

We want to help you...

Process the Trauma: Moving beyond the "how" & "why" to address the traumatic impact of the loss.

Manage Complex Guilt: Identifying & challenging the overwhelming feelings of responsibility.

Reintegrate & Honor: Finding meaningful ways to integrate the loss & honor your loved one while creating a healthy future for yourself.

Today, if the pain feels overwhelming, remember you don't have to carry this burden alone. Professional support can be the bridge to finding peace.

Let's Celebrate International Men's Day:

It's Okay to Talk. It's Okay to Have Emotions. It's Okay to NOT Be Okay. ... Let's help normalize this for men.

Today, on International Men's Day, we celebrate the overwhelmingly positive value men bring to the world—to their families, to their communities, to their friends, and to their workplaces.

But we also want to acknowledge a crucial conversation: Men's Mental Health... one that is often left untouched and ignored.

The pressure to "be strong" and "handle it" often prevents men from expressing their emotions or seeking support and help.

We want to break that cycle. True strength isn't bottling things up; it's having the courage to face them.

Whether it's stress, anxiety, grief, or just navigating the complexity of modern life, your feelings and emotions are ALL valid, and you don't have to carry the weight alone.

Today, on International Men's Day, give yourself permission to reach out. The Couch Counseling is here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be heard.

TODAY IS WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY!

Happy World Mental Health Day! 🌎💙 Today, we’re reminded that prioritizing your mental well-being isn't a luxury—it’s a fundamental part of a healthy life.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or just not quite like yourself, we want you to know two things:

You are not alone. Millions of people navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress. It’s part of the human experience.

It’s a sign of strength to ask for help. Starting therapy isn't admitting defeat; it’s making a powerful commitment to yourself.

At The Couch Counseling, we believe in the transformative power of a safe space. Let today be the day you finally give yourself permission to sit down, take a deep breath, and start the conversation.

Imagine a world where talking about your mental health is as normal as talking about a cold.

Your mental health journey is a story of growth, not a source of shame.

Just like you'd see a trainer to get stronger, you can see a counselor to build a more resilient mind. This isn't about fixing something that's broken; it's about developing new tools and skills to navigate life's challenges.

Let's end the stigma together. Change the narrative.

Your next chapter is waiting. Get in touch.

Don't let self-doubt dim your light.

Whether you're starting a new job, a new relationship, or a new chapter in your life, your worth isn't defined by a single misstep or a past mistake. Your value is in the unique perspective and courage you bring with you every single day.

Keep going. The world needs what you have to offer.

Need support on your journey to self-acceptance? If you're struggling to see your own value, we're here to help. 🙂

In the United States approximately 135 people are lost to su***de every day. Globally the World Health Organization reports that a person dies by su***de approximately every 40 seconds, which equates to around 2,160 deaths per day.

World Su***de Prevention Day is an annual event observed every September 10th. It brings worldwide attention to the fact that su***de is a major public health issue & that it is preventable. It urges individuals, communities, & governments to take action to reduce su***de rates. This can range from having a conversation with a loved one to implementing national su***de prevention strategies. It works to break down the social stigma & taboos that often surround mental health struggles & su***de, encouraging open & compassionate dialogue. The day's theme often focuses on a message of hope, reinforcing that help is available & that a future of recovery & healing is possible.

The core message of World Su***de Prevention Day is that through collective effort & shared responsibility, we can create a world where fewer lives are lost to su***de. It is part of the larger observation of National Su***de Prevention Month, which takes place throughout September.

Please know that su***de is a permanent decision to a temporary problem. You are NEVER alone.
