Midweek check-in: How full is your cup? ☕️

You can’t pour from an empty one. Sometimes, refilling looks like the smallest things: a slow coffee, a walk without a podcast, a text to a friend, or a few minutes to yourself.

Between classes, deadlines, and everything life throws at you, it’s easy to run on empty. Consider this your morning reminder to slow down and make time for what fills you back up.

Hope, empathy, gratitude, mindfulness, regulation, kindness. Little things we can practice and pour back in, one sip at a time.

What’s one thing you do to refill your cup? Tell us below! ⬇️

And thanks to Molly’s Coffee Company for the cups (and the caffeine)! 🤍

Meet Emma! One of our outpatient and IOP therapists at Stillwell!

Emma Wulff is relatable, down-to-earth, and genuinely cool. She has a way of making people feel comfortable while also challenging them to grow. She’s the kind of person who leads by example and is a great role model for the adolescents and young adults she works with.

With a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, Emma brings a systems-oriented, relational perspective to her work. Rather than looking at challenges in isolation, she considers the bigger picture: how we relate to others, the roles we take on, the patterns we repeat, and how those dynamics can keep us stuck. This doesn’t mean therapy is always about family or romantic relationships. She looks at people in the context of their lives and that change often involves shifting how we understand ourselves, communicate, set boundaries, and connect with others.

Emma brings this perspective to her work with teens, young adults, and couples, helping clients recognize patterns, build healthier relationships, and develop more flexible ways of navigating life.

We love having Emma at Stillwell and we have a feeling you’ll love her as much as we do.

We believe young adulthood deserves mental health care built specifically for this stage of life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationships, ADHD, motivation, perfectionism, independence, the pressure you’re putting on yourself, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everything you’re supposed to be figuring out, we can help.

Young adulthood is our specialty, but our doors are wider than that. Our therapists also work with teens, adults, couples, and families, and we offer coaching for those who need practical support with executive functioning, academics, and everyday life. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is specifically designed for young adults ages 18–30 who need more support and structure than weekly therapy alone.

Therapy, coaching, psychiatry, community, and IOP, all in one place in Athens.

Stay in your life. We’ll help you build it. 🤍

When the light hits just right.🌅

Try This Tuesday: Don’t believe everything you think.

When you catch yourself getting stuck in an anxious thought, try putting “I’m having the thought that…” in front of it.

You don’t have to argue with the thought, prove it wrong, or make it go away. The goal is to create a little space between you and what your brain is telling you, then decide what you want to do next.

It’s an ACT skill called cognitive defusion: your thoughts can be loud without being in charge. It allows you to step back from a thought far enough to see it as what it is, a string of words and images produced by a very busy mind. Defused, “I’m going to fail” becomes “I’m having the thought that I’m going to fail.” The content hasn’t changed. Your position relative to it has, from inside the thought looking out, to outside the thought looking at it. It is about spending less of your life inside the argument.

You already have what it takes.

A lot happens before IOP starts for the week. Andi, our Program Director, keeps the whole thing moving by prepping for groups, supporting our clinical team, coordinating care, and somehow she keeps track of approximately 700 moving pieces at once. She’s the person making sure the people, the programming, and all the little details come together each week. Happy Monday, y’all. Here we go. 🤍

Athens weekends can feel like a lot when you’re trying to fit in the game, going out, studying, cleaning, catching up on school, working, and somehow getting your whole life together in 2 days.

You don’t have to do it all and not every weekend needs to be ultra productive or super memorable to be a good one. Taking care of yourself is also knowing when to call it, go home, sleep in, get some movement in, stay off your phone, and maybe even do nothing.

See you Monday, Athens. 🤍

“Action is the antidote to despair.” — Joan Baez

We spend a lot of time waiting to feel ready…..Ready to start, ready to decide, ready to have the conversation. Ready to do the thing without screwing up.

Yet “ready” can become another version of stuck.

You don’t need certainty to move. You don’t need the perfect plan. You don’t need to make sure you are ready. Sometimes you just need to do one small thing that gets you out of your head and back into your life.

If getting support has been one of those things you keep meaning to do, thinking you might need, or curious about….make today the day you start. Text us @ 706-225-9123.

Stillwell Athens is one front door for therapy, psychiatry, coaching, community + IOP. You don’t have to know exactly what you need before you call. We’ll help you figure it out.

Off the Clock, round two: meet Ian 👋

If you know Ian, you know the humor sneaks up on you. Ian brings curiosity and perspective and some good banter to his work, with a style that feels natural, engaging, and easy to connect with.

His training in both clinical social work and public health gives Ian a unique lens: understanding the person while also paying attention to the world they’re navigating. Ian works with teens, young adults, and adults, with particular interests in men’s mental health, grief and loss, life transitions, substance use, and the things people don’t always know how to talk about.

Swipe for a little more of Ian, outside the therapy room.

More of Stillwell, off the clock, coming soon.
