The holiday season can mean many different things. For some, it’s a time of celebration, connection, and tradition. For others, it can bring up complicated emotions, family stress, grief, or reminders of past experiences.

At Serenity Counseling and Wellness, we want to honor the many ways this season can be experienced. If you’re celebrating, we hope you’re able to find moments of joy, rest, and connection. If the holidays feel heavy or complicated, you’re not alone, and it’s okay to move through this time in a way that feels supportive and manageable.

A quick office note: our office staff will be out December 24th, 25th, and 26th, returning Monday, December 29th. Messages received during this time will be returned once we’re back in the office.

Wishing you gentleness, care, and moments of warmth in whatever way this season shows up for you.

At Serenity Counseling and Wellness, we understand that the holidays can bring many different feelings. Thanksgiving can be a time of connection and gratitude, but it can also bring up complicated family dynamics, memories, or mixed emotions. However this season meets you, your experiences are valid and you deserve care and gentleness.

I am truly grateful for the team at Serenity. Every person here brings compassion, dedication, and heart to the work we do. It is a privilege to support our community together and to walk alongside the individuals and families who trust us with their care.

From all of us at Serenity, and from me as the owner, I wish you a calm and meaningful Thanksgiving. May you find moments of rest, comfort, and connection in the ways that feel right for you.

🎉 Happy Birthday to Dr. Cooley! 🎂

They are truly the funniest and coolest part of our office, always up for a good laugh, a spontaneous game of “find the hidden flamingos,” and the first to share a sensory sticker or 3D printed fidget when someone needs a little regulation boost.

We are so lucky to have you, Dr. Cooley. You keep our office full of laughter, creativity, and good vibes every single day! 💖🦩✨

And since Dr. Cooley is a big sports fan, especially of the Detroit Lions, we hope they are enjoying watching their team on Monday Night Football tonight! 🏈

🌿 World Mental Health Day 🌿

At Serenity Counseling and Wellness we believe every day is World Mental Health Day.

Today and every day we hold space with compassion, offer care without judgment, and honor the courage it takes to heal. Mental health is not just a day on the calendar for us, it is the heart of who we are and what we do.

Whether it is through therapy, assessment, medication management, or simply creating a space where people feel seen and supported, we remain committed to walking beside our clients, our community, and one another.

Here’s to continuing the conversation, reducing stigma, and remembering that care is something we all deserve, today and every day. 💙

At Serenity Counseling and Wellness, we want to be clear. We stand with the neurodivergent community. We trust and follow the scientific evidence, not harmful or misleading statements.

We will continue to treat all of our clients, especially those in the neurodivergent community, based on our education, training, and science.

Our practice is and will continue to be a safe, inclusive space that affirms the rights and dignity of all people, especially those who have historically been marginalized or disenfranchised.

Everyone deserves care, compassion, and respect.
