✨ The Ash & Bloom playroom is officially OPEN! 🌱

And we’re so excited to introduce the therapist who will be making this space her own: Julia Bedell, MA. 💛

Julia works with children and families, creating a space where kids can play, explore, express big feelings, and feel safe being exactly who they are.

Our playroom was thoughtfully designed with that same purpose in mind. From sandtray and sensory play to puppets, art, books, and imaginative play, every piece was chosen to give children different ways to communicate, connect, and make sense of their world.

Because for children, play isn’t *just* play. It’s communication. It’s connection. It’s exploration. And sometimes, it’s how the biggest feelings find a way out.

We’re so excited to officially open the doors and welcome our youngest clients into this new space—and even more excited to have Julia here to support them along the way. 🌿

There’s something special about coming home after a long trip.

The familiar comfort. The deep breath. The feeling that you can finally set everything down and simply be.

What if that feeling didn't have to come from a place?
What if it could come from within you?

So many of us spend our days looking outside ourselves for reassurance, certainty, or permission. We second-guess our instincts, question our worth, and lose touch with the quiet voice that knows what we need.

Coming Home to Yourself is an invitation to return to that place within.

Over six weeks, we'll explore self-worth, self-trust, and the courage to listen to your own inner wisdom with compassion instead of criticism. Together, we'll create space to slow down, reconnect, and begin each week from a place of greater clarity and intention.

✨ Begins in just 2 weeks!

📅 Mondays beginning August 3rd
⏰ 6:30–7:45 PM
💻 Virtual
💛 $20 per session

If you've been longing to feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again, we'd love to walk alongside you.

✨ What if your Monday could begin with reconnecting instead of rushing?

Introducing Coming Home to Yourself 🌿
A 6-week virtual therapy group designed for adults who are ready to slow down, reconnect with who they are, and strengthen trust in themselves.

This group offers a supportive space to pause, reflect, and explore:
🌱 Building self-worth and self-trust
🌱 Moving beyond perfectionism and self-criticism
🌱 Reconnecting with your values, needs, and intuition
🌱 Creating more intentional ways of showing up for yourself

Facilitated by Counseling Intern Shana Nunnelly, this closed group is a weekly opportunity to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and begin your week with greater clarity and compassion.

✨ Group Details
📅 Mondays beginning August 3rd
⏰ 6:30 PM–7:45 PM
💻 Virtual group sessions
💛 $20 per session ($120 total for the 6-week group)

We believe support should be accessible. If the investment presents a barrier, please reach out to discuss accessibility options during your pre-group conversation.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, caught in self-doubt, or longing for a deeper sense of alignment, this space may be for you.

📲 Schedule your pre-group conversation through the link in our bio.

✨ From What Was, Into What’s Becoming.

"Maybe celebrating Pride isn’t FOR you..."

At Ash & Bloom Counseling, we often talk about the power of visibility. We don’t just celebrate Pride for ourselves—we celebrate for the people in our community who need to know they aren't alone.

We celebrate for our neighbors, for the coworker silently navigating exclusion, and for the next generation of kids who deserve to grow up with absolute curiosity and zero judgment. Mental health thrives where people are free to bloom as their true selves.

To anyone still searching for their safe space: your story matters, and you are welcome here.

Wishing you all a safe, healthy, and happy Pride Month from the team at Ash & Bloom. 🌈✨

Fatherhood isn’t about being perfect; it’s about showing up. And that showing up takes so many beautiful forms. Today, we want to honor every man who plants seeds of strength, love, and resilience—from the fathers navigating the daily joys and challenges of raising the next generation, to the grandfathers whose wisdom offers a deep-rooted sense of security, and the father figures, mentors, and stepdads who choose to step in and guide with open hearts.
Just like the journey of healing, stepping into a paternal role requires immense patience, weathering the hard seasons, and embracing growth for both the children you love and yourself. To all the men doing the heavy emotional work to break old patterns, heal past hurts, and build brighter futures for the next generation: we see you.
Wherever you are on your journey today, you are helping your family bloom. Happy Father’s Day from Ash & Bloom Counseling. 🤍

Today is Juneteenth—a powerful anniversary of liberation, a celebration of resilience, and an ongoing reminder that true freedom includes emotional, mental, and physical well-being.

At Ash & Bloom Counseling, we recognize that healing is a continuous journey. Systemic stress and generational trauma leave a lasting imprint, which is why creating safe, affirming spaces to process, rest, and just be is so vital to collective wellness.

Because mental health doesn't take a day off, our doors and schedules are open today. Whether you need a dedicated space to unpack complex emotions, navigate burnout, or simply find a moment of quiet reflection, our team is here to support you.

How are you tending to your mental wellness and community today? 👇🌱
