When your body is reacting like something is wrong and nothing is, start with the ground.

Press your feet into the floor. Look around the room. Name five things you can see. It's a small way of telling your body where you are right now.

It's one of three trauma release exercises our therapists share in this week's blog, along with shaking it out and the butterfly hug.

If your body has been carrying more than it should, our team is here when you're ready.

You slept the whole night and still woke up drained - Depression tired is a different kind of tired.

In the blog this week, we're talking about why depression makes you so tired and a few small things that can help on the days you're running on empty.

During Depression Awareness Month, we're also reminding you that you don't have to wait until it gets worse to talk to someone. Our therapists are here whenever you're ready.

We're hiring a Licensed Therapist 🌿

Are you the kind of therapist who...

✨ Treats the whole person, not just the presenting problem

✨ Leads with evidence-based practice, but never lets the modality outrun the human

✨ Believes good therapy happens in real relationship, not just technique

✨ Wants a caseload built on quality, not volume

✨ Wants colleagues who actually check in, not just coexist in the same building If that sounds like you, Authentic Connections Counseling Center might be your people.

A strong plus:

πŸ”Ή Experience or training in couples work

πŸ”Ή Trauma-informed training

What you'll find here:

πŸ’š Intentional caseloads

πŸ’š Soul Care retreats and wellness-focused CE

πŸ’š Birthday and work anniversary celebrations, because we notice the small things too

Sound like your kind of team? We'd love to hear from you.
