💜 A Special Thank You to David McGrath 💜

At Cloudbreak Counseling Services, we believe that healing should never have to be put on hold because of financial barriers.

Last month, we experienced a gap in funding for services provided to survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. During a time when we were unsure how those services would continue to be covered, David McGrath willingly stepped up and personally covered the cost of care.

He didn’t have to. He wasn’t asked to carry that responsibility. But he recognized that survivors deserve access to support, safety, and healing, regardless of the circumstances.

For individuals who have already experienced so much, having someone step up and say, “Your healing matters,” means more than words can express.

David, thank you for recognizing the importance of this work, for believing in the people we serve, and for making sure that a gap in funding didn’t become a gap in someone’s healing.

This is what community looks like. This is what showing up for survivors looks like.

From all of us at Cloudbreak Counseling Services, thank you for making a difference when it mattered most. ✨

Wellness Wednesday ✨

Sometimes we get so caught up in just trying to make it through the week that we don’t realize how much we’re actually carrying.

We get up, go to work, take care of our families, answer the phone, show up for everyone else, and somehow convince ourselves that we’re fine because we’re still getting everything done.

But just because you’re functioning doesn’t mean you’re okay.

And just because you’ve learned how to carry a lot doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.

I think sometimes we forget that being strong doesn’t mean we have to constantly push through. You can love your life and still feel overwhelmed by it. You can be grateful for what you have and still be exhausted. You can be doing everything you’re supposed to be doing and still feel like you’re struggling.

Two things can be true at once.

So this Wednesday, maybe take a minute to ask yourself how you’re really doing. Not the answer you give everyone else. The real answer.

Because your mental health matters even when you’re managing to hold everything together. ✨

Our DBT Skills Group officially kicked off tonight!

We had a great first evening connecting, learning, and beginning to build practical skills that can be used in everyday life. We’re excited for the next 12 weeks as we work through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness together.

We currently have THREE spots still available!

If you’ve been thinking about joining, there’s still time. DBT Skills Group is a supportive space to learn tools for managing emotions, navigating stressful situations, improving relationships, and responding more effectively when life feels overwhelming.

Interested in one of the remaining spots? Reach out to your therapist or contact Cloudbreak Counseling Services for more information.

We’re looking forward to a great group!

Okay, we need to know. 😂

What is your therapist actually saved as in your phone?

“Therapist”?
“Counselor”?
Their first name?
Their full name?
“DO NOT IGNORE”?
“My emotional support human”?

Or did you give them a contact name that would make your therapist pause and say…

“Let’s explore why you chose that name.”

And just like that, your contact list became a therapeutic intervention. 😂

So please share, we want to know!

We have some exciting changes happening behind the scenes at Cloudbreak Counseling Services, and I’m so proud to finally share them with you. 🤍

As Cloudbreak has grown, I’ve had to learn something that hasn’t always come easily to me: I cannot do everything myself.

There have been moments where I’ve needed to step back, breathe, and trust the people around me. And two people who have continued to show up, step up, and help carry this practice with me are Brooke and Alisha.

I’m incredibly excited to officially announce Brooke Noscal, LISW, as our Operations Manager and Alisha McLaughlin as our Office Manager.

Brooke has stepped up in ways that have meant so much to me personally and professionally. As the practice has grown, there have been times when I needed room to breathe, and Brooke has been there to help keep things moving. She has taken on more, supported our team, helped problem-solve, and helped me realize that I don’t have to carry every single piece of Cloudbreak by myself.

Alisha has also become such an important part of the day-to-day life of Cloudbreak. As our Office Manager, she helps keep our office running, supports our administrative team, and helps make sure the many little things that happen behind the scenes don’t get lost in the chaos of a growing practice.

These roles aren’t just new titles. They represent the growth of Cloudbreak and the trust I have in the people who are helping us build it.

I’m still learning how to step back without feeling guilty. I’m still learning that asking for help doesn’t mean I’m failing. And I’m incredibly grateful that I have people beside me who are willing to step forward when I need to take a breath.

Cloudbreak is growing, and I’m so excited for this next chapter.

Please join me in congratulating Brooke and Alisha on their new roles. We are so lucky to have both of you as part of the Cloudbreak family 💚
