February tends to focus on romantic love.
We’re widening the lens.

Love looks like self-respect.
It looks like a connection with yourself and with others.
It sounds like a kinder inner voice.

Love isn’t something you earn by doing more or being better.
It’s something you practice imperfectly, daily, and on your own terms.

Expecting or having a baby in 2026?

Here’s a reminder, it’s okay to set boundaries, say no, and protect your energy. You don’t have to do all the things or please everyone, because honestly, f*** that pressure.

Winter scaries hitting hard? Yeah… we get it. ❄️

January can feel long, heavy, and emotionally exhausting, short days, packed schedules, and not a lot of energy to go around. If you’re feeling more anxious, unmotivated, or overwhelmed than usual, you’re not doing anything wrong.

We believe support should feel warm, human, and judgment-free, especially during the toughest seasons. You don’t have to push through this alone.

You’re allowed to take it one day at a time.

Therapy doesn’t have to be scary or nerve-wracking.

At Paula Lain Counseling & Co., we believe counseling should feel human, comfortable, and supportive, not stiff, clinical, or intimidating. You don’t have to have the “right words,” a crisis, or everything figured out before you start.

Just come as you are. We’ll meet you there. ☺️

✨ What makes Paula Lain Counseling & Co., different? ✨

We’re not your typical therapy office, we’re about real connection, real comfort, and real support. From matching you with a therapist who actually gets you to offering dog-assisted counseling (yes, pups in sessions! 🐶) that helps make growth feel a little less scary and a lot more human, we’re here to meet you where you are.

Woman-led, judgment-free, and built on individualized care, no cookie-cutter therapy here. Whether you’re new to counseling or you’ve tried before without success, our approach is designed to help you feel seen, understood, and empowered every step of the way.

Ready to untangle your thoughts and actually enjoy life again? 🙌

We’re incredibly grateful for the trust and respect of fellow mental health professionals in our community.

Our commitment goes beyond showing up, we prioritize ethical care, continued education, and specialized training so our clinicians can support clients at the deepest, most meaningful level. Especially when it comes to trauma-informed work, expertise matters.

Being a resource our community can rely on is something we don’t take lightly. Thank you for trusting us with that responsibility.

A round of applause for YOU. 👏

You survived the holidays.
The sports schedules.
The school Christmas parties.
The 9pm “oh s**t, I need treats for tomorrow” panic.
The gift wrapping, the small talk, the calendar chaos.

Saying no can feel uncomfortable, but it’s one of the strongest ways to take care of yourself.

No isn’t rejection, it’s protection. Protection of your energy, your peace, your time, your priorities.

Every no is actually a yes: a yes to your mental health, your boundaries, your life.

Boundaries aren’t selfish. They’re essential. 💚
