Support can start with feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, exhausted, anxious or simply knowing that something doesn't feel right. 💚

This month especially, check in on your people. Ask twice. Listen without trying to fix everything. And remember that you deserve support, too.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 for 24/7 support.

💚 September is Su***de Prevention Month.

You are only half of the equation.

Every relationship brings together two people with different expectations, experiences, communication styles, values and needs.

You can't control your partner's half but you can get curious about your own.

How do I communicate when I'm upset?
Do I clearly express what I need?
Where do I need better boundaries?
What patterns do I keep repeating?

Sometimes healthier relationships start with understanding ourselves a little better.

🧠 When life gets busy, the things you’ve been putting off tend to get louder.

The start of a new school year can shine a light on what isn’t working - stress that’s harder to manage, motivation that’s slipping, tension in relationships, difficulty communicating, or simply feeling stuck in the same patterns.

Counseling can be a place to actually work on those things.

You might use your sessions to:
• Understand patterns that keep showing up
• Build better ways to manage stress and emotions
• Improve communication in your relationships
• Work through conflict with a partner or family member
• Navigate changes in school, work, or your personal life
• Set goals and figure out practical steps toward them

We’re grateful to have counselors like Rachel Tanner Jones, PLPC on our team at MFCC.

Rachel primarily works with children, providing a supportive and developmentally appropriate space where kids can express themselves, build coping skills, and feel understood. She approaches counseling with warmth, curiosity, and care - helping children and their families navigate emotional challenges, transitions, and everyday stress.

Rachel uses evidence-based approaches tailored to each child’s needs, while also partnering with caregivers to support growth both inside and outside the counseling room.

If you’re looking for counseling support for your child, Rachel may be a great fit.

Setting boundaries during the holidays doesn’t make you difficult - it makes you healthy.

Here are a few additional simple scripts you can use this season:

For Family:
“I love you, but I’m not comfortable discussing that topic today.”

For Work:
“I’m unavailable outside my scheduled hours, but I’ll follow up when I return.”

For Events:
“Thank you for the invite! I won’t be able to make it, but I appreciate you thinking of me.”

Protecting your energy is an act of self-care and you’re allowed to do it.
