From baseball practice to board meetings, I know when I utter the words self-care, our initial response as a society is “Who has the time?”. However, in order to fulfill ALL our roles, personally and professionally, our bodies require a reserve to pull from. Coming from a place of packed calendars, emails and full-time accessibility, I desire to dive into the world of our clients. In there we discover where it’s most feasible to carve out a 5-minute relaxation or mindfulness exercise, find exceptions and identify resources to ensure a better version of self. This can help bring down the base line, of our already heightened state, to a more manageable mindset and honestly allows us to respond rather than react. Coming across to those around us in a steadier state of being.

Here at The Fountains Counseling Center, we spend time with you determining what is feasible for you in your busy schedule. I will say some of the biggest celebrations I share with clients is making that initial appointment, taking the time to fill out the intake paperwork and a willingness to say “somethings got to give.” BRAVO! Let’s identify what that something is and how to make all the things seem more manageable.
