Empowering Minds

02/02/2026

February often focuses on loving others.
This month, we're inviting you to start with loving yourself.

Taking care of your mental health is an act of self-love.
Resting when you're tired.
Asking for support when things feel heavy.
Giving yourself permission to not have it all figured out.

You deserve care, too -- just as you are.

We're here when you are ready. 🩷

Create Peace, One Line at a Time at the Westclox Metaphysical & Wellness Fair!

Inspired by symbols of peace, grounding, and interconnectedness, Christy Donahue’s Creative Corner is a space to slow down and reconnect.

She will be teaching art classes that combine repetitive patterns and intuitive design to quiet the mind, reduce stress, and awaken creativity.

Come sit, draw, breathe, and BE.

Winter check-in ❄️💙
How are you really doing lately?

Winter can feel heavy, and with shorter days and colder weather it's completely normal to feel more tired, unmotivated, or down.

Be gently with yourself this season, stay connected, and don't hesitate to reach out for support - you're not alone. 🤍

Brrr ... it's cold out! 🥶

With the chilly temperatures, we want to make accessing care as easy and safe as possible. Telehealth appointments are available if you'd prefer to stay warm at home.

Your health matters - no need to brave the cold!

This New Moon asks us to reflect on what we’re truly ready to commit to.
What are you building this year — and what kind of support do you need along the way?

Our therapy groups at Empowering Minds Counseling offer space to reflect, connect, and grow together.
