Are your kids getting older, about to, or have left your house, leaving you with lots of time to contemplate your life? While we strive as mothers to give our kids the wings to fly, it can be challenging to sit in the new quiet of your life and wonder what’s next, or even is it time to deal with all those things I never let myself feel or face because I didn’t want the kids to see me struggle!

If this feels like you, we’d love to hear from you and help you find the you that exists beyond being a mother, a spouse, a partner, a caregiver to an aging parent!

Call us or visit www.bluemonkeycounseling.com today to schedule a free inquiry call to find out how we can help you find closure on an old chapter and write a new one for the years to come!

We're here to help you find it...

Blue Monkey Counseling believes in the whole person approach to healthcare!

Attending to a patient and family’s emotional health leads to improved outcomes and better overall quality of life! We applaud the entire University of Tennessee Volthon team of students, faculty, and staff for their immense commitment of time and energy to support Children’s Healthcare and hope you will too!

And if you act right now your gift will be matched, doubling your impact! You can even designate a specific amount to provide a medical intervention of your choice! For example, a $100 donation could cover play therapy to help children understand the medical treatments they face through the use of play therapy, mock ER visits, and “procedures” performed on stuffed animals to allow them to process both what they face as well as the scary feelings they have about what lies ahead! There are many other wonderful therapeutic options! Check out for yourself at the link below!

GO VOLS GO!!!🧡

I'm participating in VOLthon 2024 to change kids' health and change the future for kids at my local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, East Tennessee Children's Hospital - but I can't meet my fundraising goal without your support! Can you support me with a donation today?

We can only see the brightest lights in the darkest darkness! That bright light is what you need to navigate the way through it. But when you get to the daytime only you decide to blow out the thing that got you through.

Therapy came help you find the spark to help the candle burn!

We hope it was a beautiful Mother’s Day! What a special day of recognition for all the hard work of family.

But what about the other 365 days when mom isn’t the priority? Is it hard to work on self-care? (Or even figure out what that is!) Feeling overwhelmed by living with anxiety, depression, or other challenges despite having a beautiful family?

You aren’t alone! Put Blue Monkey in your corner today! We offer individual and group therapy, in addition to coaching and treatment assistance with same week appointments available!

Did you see that? NO WAIT LIST! Call today to start living a life you love!
