Stepping Stones Counseling

Grief has no timeline, no rulebook, and no “right” way to look.

Today, we honor those carrying loss—whether it’s recent, years old, visible to others, or held quietly.

At Stepping Stones Counseling, we believe no one should have to navigate grief alone.

Be gentle with yourself and others today. You never know what someone may be carrying. 💙

This National Grief Awareness Day, we honor our loved ones who have passed away.

While grief may feel heavy, remember that you do not have to grieve alone.

You can find ways to help navigate grief under the resources tab of our website: www.soul57.org.

We can’t believe it has already been a year since we moved into our new building! Time flies!

A special thank you to Jason Becker for helping make our dream a reality. Your guidance and support throughout the process was invaluable, and we appreciate all you did to help us find and secure the perfect space!

We understand that recent events in the community can be difficult to navigate. Please be gentle with yourself and with one another in the days ahead. It’s okay to step away from the news, hold your loved ones a little closer, ask for support, or simply acknowledge that this is hard.
