Written by Pam Brown, ACC, CFRE Last week I visited with a long-time supporter of Insight Counseling Centers. Her support goes all the way back to our agency’s founding more than 30 years ago.

A new perspective that freed him from depression and negative thinking by Dr. Dwight Hughes, LMFT I'll pull from a recent story. This is a pastor who came about 8 weeks ago, and his presenting issue was depression. Of course, he wasn't sure that he was depressed; his wife sent him, and he came willingly. By the 8th session, he comes in, and not only does he come in, but he brings his wife along with him. I saw them…

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - Late last month, nine "mood walls" showed up all over Nashville, each one with 1,000 buttons naming 21 different emotions. MORE An idea by Insight Counseling Centers, the project was an offer to Nashvillians to take one and literally wear their emotion. Counselors wanted to see what they could tell by which buttons were taken. They said all of them being taken is telling them something too. "We live in a culture that mostly values strength…

If you’d like, you can snag a pin that suits you, and…
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Several interactive mood walls have been set up across Nashville that offer buttons of emotions for anyone to take and wear.

Everybody feels, and he wants people to share their emotions. “The idea is to get people…

Our emblem is in the style of a form called a Mobius strip. The 3-dimensional band of color flows from the outside of the circle to the inside of the circle and back out, seamlessly and endlessly. In his book A Hidden Wholeness, author Parker Palmer uses the Mobius strip as a metaphor to illustrate wholeness: Whatever is inside us continually flows outward to help form, or deform, the world -- and whatever is outside us continually flows inward to…
