💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Domestic violence is about more than physical abuse. Emotional abuse, threats, isolation, and controlling behavior can have lasting effects on a person’s confidence, relationships, and sense of self.

At Frick Counseling, we want survivors to know that you don’t have to have everything figured out to ask for support.

You deserve to be heard, respected, and supported in making choices that feel right for you.

We’re also highlighting our new therapist, Clair Breese, LSW, who brings five years of experience working as a counselor and advocate with survivors of domestic violence. Clair offers online therapy for adults throughout Pennsylvania, with an approach centered on safety, trust, connection, and empowerment.

💜 Read our new blog to learn more about recognizing abuse, finding local support, and how counseling can help:

🕯️ October 15 marks the International Wave of Light, honoring babies lost through miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and infant loss. At 7 p.m. local time, people around the world light a candle for at least one hour, creating a shared wave of remembrance.

💗 This day may bring comfort, sadness, or complicated emotions—even years after a loss.

There is no right way to participate.

🕯️Light a candle, say your baby’s name, remember privately, or step away from social media. You get to choose what feels right for you.

If emotions feel overwhelming, try feeling your feet against the floor, noticing your surroundings, or reaching out to someone who can sit with you in your grief.

❤️ Your baby matters. Your parenthood matters. And you deserve compassionate support long after the candles go out. 🤍

For families actively seeking community, the Stillborn Still Loved Society on Facebook is an active space for connection and remembrance: https://www.facebook.com/StillbornStillLovedFoundation/

You can also join a virtual Wave of Light through Still Loved Coaching, where families, friends, loved ones, and professionals can submit babies' names to honor.
Submit a name and light a virtual candle: stilllovedcoaching.com

“I’m so OCD about keeping things organized.” We hear phrases like this often, but OCD is much more than being neat, organized, or detail-oriented.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves a cycle of obsessions—unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges—and compulsions, which are behaviors or mental rituals used to try to reduce the distress they cause.

For someone living with OCD, this cycle can be exhausting, distressing, and disruptive to everyday life. It’s not simply a preference or a personality quirk.

Understanding OCD helps reduce stigma and makes it easier for people to seek support without feeling misunderstood.

At Frick Counseling, we believe mental health awareness starts with understanding.

October 10 is World Mental Health Day. 💛This year, Frick Counseling LLC is focusing on something that deserves more conversation: mental health on the path to parenthood, sometimes called maternal mental health.

🧡 From trying to conceive, through pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, there can be a lot of emotions that don’t always get talked about.

🧡 You can feel hopeful and discouraged at the same time.
🧡 You can love your child deeply and still struggle.
🧡 Your emotional needs deserve attention throughout these experiences.

You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis to ask for support.

Our new therapist, Alyssa Bufano, LPC, noticed a gap in accessible mental health treatment for people navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting and wants to help change that. ☺️

Alyssa offers in-person therapy in Dunmore and virtual therapy throughout Pennsylvania and is currently accepting new clients.

If you or someone you know could benefit from support during this season, reach out to learn more about working with Alyssa. 💛
