life transitions

Jordan’s Story

"Boundaries, self-worth, self-esteem... Those were the biggest things for me. I have a really hard time setting boundaries and saying no. I'm a people-pleaser in a big way, and to this day I still have a really hard time with it, but I am better. Ten times better than I was."

Brandon’s Story

"I had moved, I had just gotten married, and I had just started two new jobs, two part-time jobs. There was just a lot of change in my life in a really short period of time. Working in a church like that, I would kind of consider it very much a helping profession. So, you know, focusing on other people and pouring into people, I was having some stress and anxiety about dealing with that chaos, and I needed a space to kind of speak that and breathe."

One Step at a Time: Navigating Life’s Twists and Turns

Life is like a labyrinth. If you’ve never walked a labyrinth, it’s an experience I highly recommend. Some might equate “labyrinth” with “maze,” but that is a misconception. A maze is designed with confusing paths and dead ends to trick, deceive, and keep one from finding the way. A labyrinth is quite different. It is not a puzzle meant to make one get lost. It’s a tool that helps us find our way – figuratively and literally.

Tayllor’s Story

"I am 100% on the therapy and counseling training. I think that anyone can benefit from counseling, no matter what life stage you're in. If you have family issues or if you have issues with transition, I think having someone in your life who you can speak to, someone who's an advocate for you, who is on your team and has your best interest at heart but has zero connection to the people around you, is something that is incredibly special and helpful and healing."

Maggie’s Story

"The nonprofit that I worked for when I moved up here, the program that I was participating in, they actually provided us with an option to go to therapy for a discounted rate, which was seriously an answer to my prayer. Growing up, being in my 20s, it's like for me, I just don't have parents who I can call and say, 'Hey, how do I fix this flat tire on my car? Or do I say yes to this job? Do I go to grad school?' All this stuff just floating around and all these decisions that I felt like I was supposed to know."
