Social Butterfly Counseling

Social Butterfly Counseling Social Butterfly Counseling is a sanctuary for children, families and individuals seeking support in their struggle to navigate today’s chaotic world.

Social Butterfly Counseling is a private psychotherapy practice specializing in supporting children, families and adults in making healthy choices and creating positive change. Coping with the stress and pressures of daily life can be challenging. We partner with other professionals and clinicians to create a support team for our clients so they do not have to go it alone. From managing major transitions like relocating and divorce to improving family dynamics, we help clients reconnect with their inner strength, reduce anxiety and conflict, heal their relationships and rediscover the joy in their lives. We work with guidance counselors, teachers and administrators to help families navigate complicated school systems and access the resources they need. We provide children with tools to handle the expectations and issues they encounter in school and in relationships. We guide couples in exploring effective ways to co-parent and communicate with each other and their children. And we collaborate with pediatricians, school nurses, psychotherapists and other medical professionals to help our clients manage anxiety, depression and other forms of mental illness. Issues we address in treatment include:

Parenting/Co-parenting
Communication
School Avoidance
Navigating complicated systems (Child Study Teams, working toward IEP, linkage to higher levels of care)
Peer relationships (bullying, conflict resolution, group dynamics)
Disruptive behaviors
Anxiety, Depression and Bi-polar disorder
Transitions (relocation, separation/divorce, death of loved one, birth of sibling, new step parent)
Body image and distorted eating
Issues affecting individuals identifying as LGBTQ
Trauma
Sexual and Physical Abuse
Neglect
Foster Care and Adoption
Infertility

We also facilitate groups that educate participants about topics such as social skills, anger management, parenting and separation/divorce; as well as therapy groups for those dealing with anxiety and depression.

“You handled it so well.”

“No, I didn’t.”

I went insane. I lost my spark. I suffered in silence. I didn’t ask for help. I shattered alone and wore a smile that lied better than any mask could.

I didn’t handle it.

I survived it—because I had no other choice. 🤍

This is the story for so many men and women.
You are not alone.
We are here for you.

Healthy Habits for Your Mental Health

As we begin to shift from winter into spring, many of us notice changes in our mood, energy, and routines. Longer days and a little more sunshine can be a great opportunity to reset and refocus on habits that support our mental well-being.

At Social Butterfly Counseling, we always remind our clients that mental health is not about perfection… it’s about small, consistent habits that support a balanced life.

Here are a few simple habits that can make a meaningful difference:

🌿 Stay physically active
Movement helps regulate mood, reduce stress, and improve sleep. This doesn’t mean you need to run a marathon, even a walk around the block counts (bonus points if the weather finally cooperates).

🙏 Practice gratitude
Taking a moment each day to acknowledge something positive helps train our brains to notice what’s going well, even on the days when everything else feels like chaos.

☕ Take time to unwind and relax
Your nervous system needs moments of rest. Whether it’s reading, deep breathing, or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee before the house wakes up… those moments matter.

💬 Talk to people you trust
Connection is one of the strongest protective factors for mental health. Sharing thoughts and feelings with someone you trust can lighten emotional weight more than you might expect.

😴 Make sleep a priority
Sleep is the unsung hero of mental health. When we’re rested, we cope better, think more clearly, and have a little more patience for the everyday curveballs of life.

🥗 Nourish your body
Balanced nutrition supports brain function and energy levels. And yes… mental health professionals agree that balance can include the occasional cookie.

As the seasons change, it’s a great reminder that we’re always allowed to reset, refocus, and begin again.

Small habits.
Consistent effort.
Gentle self-compassion.

That’s where growth happens. 🌱

We are here for you.

03/06/2026

“Some people believe that if you do good, good things will happen… while others believe that everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.

Life doesn’t follow a script where good deeds are always rewarded, and bad actions always lead to consequences. If only it were that simple. The truth is, life is unpredictable—sometimes cruelly so. We’ve all seen kind, selfless people face unimaginable hardships while others who manipulate and harm seem to thrive. It’s frustrating, unfair, and difficult to make sense of.

But does that mean kindness is pointless? Not at all.

When we do good, we’re not making a transaction with the universe, expecting a guaranteed return. We’re making a choice—one that defines who we are, not what we get in return. Being kind, helping others, spreading positivity—these things don’t always lead to external rewards, but they create something even more important: a meaningful life. When you choose to be good despite the chaos and randomness of the world, you’re not doing it because you’re promised an easy life in return. You’re doing it because, in a world that can be harsh and unfair, kindness is one of the few things that truly matter.

Yes, bad things happen to good people. But what if, in their struggles, the goodness they’ve spread helps them find strength? What if their kindness has left an imprint on someone else’s life in ways they may never even know? The impact of goodness isn’t always immediate or obvious, but it is real.

And yes, sometimes bad people seem to prosper. But deep down, what kind of life are they living? A life built on selfishness and harm may bring temporary gains, but it lacks depth, connection, and true fulfillment.

So, even if good doesn’t always bring good, it still brings something valuable: purpose, integrity, and a heart that remains open despite the world’s unfairness… And that… That’s worth everything because that can bring peace in a storm.”

Pause.
Breathe.

Take inventory of what you are:
• thinking
• feeling
• doing

Are you stressed?
Burnt out?
Running on autopilot?

Step one is remembering to pause and breathe.

Step two is gently asking yourself:
What is actually within my control right now?

Not the news.
Not other people’s reactions.
Not tomorrow’s unknowns.

Just this moment.
Your breath.
Your response.

You don’t need to solve everything today.
You just need to regulate enough to take the next right step.

Small reset.
Soft shoulders.
Slow inhale.
Long exhale.

Start there 🤍

We are here for you.

Suicidal thoughts don’t always sound like “I want to die.”
Sometimes, they sound like:
“I feel trapped.”
“I’m a burden.”
“I see no future.”
“I just need a way out.”

It’s not always obvious when someone is struggling many are fighting silent battles you can’t see. Let’s remind each other that help exists, that support is real and that these feelings, no matter how heavy, can change. Please check in on your loved ones. And if this is you right now you are not alone. You are loved. You deserve to stay. 💙

❄️ Frigid Temps & Mental Health ❄️

How extreme cold can impact us:
• Less sunlight → lower mood & energy
• Staying indoors → isolation & cabin fever
• Disrupted routines → increased stress & irritability
• Cold + darkness → fatigue, anxiety, seasonal blues

What you can do to protect your mental health:
•Get daylight early (even 10–15 minutes helps)
•Move your body (inside counts!)
•Stay connected — text, call, FaceTime
•Create warmth & comfort (layers, tea, cozy lighting)
•Lower expectations — survival mode is okay
•Prioritize sleep & gentle routines
You’re not lazy, unmotivated, or broken — it’s just cold and your nervous system is tired.
Go easy. Spring is loading… 🌷

Let’s practice self compassion.

We are here for you.

Our brain's chatter shapes our feelings, and our feelings fuel our crazy actions. By tweaking our actions, we can sorta tweak our feelings too. And what if changing our behaviors and emotions ultimately reprograms our brain?

Can you see how everything is beautifully interconnected?

We're here to help you untangle the mess.
