SolHaven Counseling with Lacey Howell, LCSW

03/29/2026

I am back this week after some time spent recovering and leaning into something important:

Wellness is whole-body.

Your mental health doesn’t exist separately from your physical health. Sleep matters. Nutrition matters. Slowing down matters. Listening to your body matters.

You don’t have to earn rest.
You don’t have to push through everything.

Start small this week:
✔ Drink water
✔ Get outside
✔ Take a breath before reacting

Your mind will thank you.

Spring reminds us that growth doesn’t have to be rushed.
Even after the longest seasons, things soften, shift, and begin again.

Wherever you are in your process, starting over, holding on, or slowly healing.
This is your reminder: growth is still happening. 🌱

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and compassion of women everywhere.

At SolHaven Counseling, I have the privilege of sitting with women in some of their most vulnerable and courageous moments — mothers, daughters, survivors, leaders, healers, and women still discovering their own power. Every story matters. Every voice deserves to be heard.

Women carry so much: love, grief, hope, responsibility, and the quiet determination to keep moving forward even when life feels heavy. Healing happens when women are given safe spaces to be authentic, supported, and empowered to reclaim their stories.

To the women who are rebuilding, breaking cycles, setting boundaries, chasing dreams, raising the next generation, or simply getting through today — your strength is seen and your voice matters.

Happy International Women’s Day. 💛

At this time, I want to gently share that my schedule at SolHaven is full and I am currently maintaining a waitlist for new clients. 🙏

This is a reflection of how many people in our community are seeking support, and I am truly honored to be trusted with that work. 💛

If you would like to be placed on the waitlist for the next available opening, please feel free to reach out and I will contact you when a spot becomes available.

I also understand that sometimes people need support sooner rather than later. If that’s the case, I keep a list of clinicians I trust and regularly refer to, and I’m always happy to help connect you with someone who may have current availability.

Thank you for allowing SolHaven to serve this community and for trusting me with your stories and healing. 🌿

At SolHaven Counseling Services, I support people.
All people.

Healing is not about political alignment. It is about safety, dignity, and being heard without fear.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my role is not to judge, silence, or shame. My role is to create a therapeutic space where individuals can regulate, process, grow, and make choices aligned with their own values.

I work with clients across a wide spectrum of beliefs, backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. Ethical counseling requires acceptance, professionalism, and respect for human complexity.

I believe:
• Every person deserves compassionate, evidence-based care.
• Every story deserves space.
• Growth happens in environments rooted in safety and accountability.

You do not have to agree with someone to treat them with humanity.
You do not have to share beliefs to provide ethical care.

My commitment is simple:
Support. Stability. Regulation. Healing.

If you are looking for counseling grounded in inclusion, acceptance, and clinical integrity,
I am here.

Youth with related behavior challenges may have trouble moving between different brain states, according to a new study from Yale Child Study Center.

When a child struggles with emotional regulation:
Look at sleep.
Look at stress.
Look at trauma.
And yes…..look at screen time.

Chronic overstimulation can reduce frustration tolerance and increase reactivity.

If removing the device causes a meltdown, that’s not just “attitude.”
That’s nervous system dependency.

Regulation has to be taught.
And sometimes that starts with reducing the input that’s overwhelming the system.

Your teen isn’t “being dramatic.”
They’re navigating change with a still-developing brain and nervous system.

Transitions can activate:
• Fear of rejection
• Fear of failure
• Loss of identity
• Loss of control

Therapy gives teens a space to:
✓ Process change
✓ Learn coping strategies
✓ Build emotional regulation
✓ Strengthen communication

Supporting teens through transitions is preventative care.

Reach out to schedule.

Valentine’s Day can bring up a lot.
Love.
Grief.
Longing.
Relief.
Loneliness.
Hope.

Whatever today stirs in you; it makes sense.

At SolHaven, we believe love isn’t just romantic.
It’s boundaries.
It’s healing.
It’s rest.
It’s choosing yourself.

If today feels heavy, you’re not broken.
If today feels beautiful, soak it in.

You deserve a love that feels safe, including the one you give yourself.
