I’m so excited to be partnering with The Play Social to offer a FREE Postpartum Support Group for moms in our community! 🤍

Postpartum can bring so many emotions, changes, challenges, and questions — and sometimes what we need most is a space where we can simply say, “I experience that too.”

✨ Tuesday, September 1
✨ 6:00–7:00 PM
✨ The Play Social — Effingham, IL
✨ FREE to attend
✨ Limited to 12 people

You’ll have the opportunity to:
🤍 Connect with other moms
🤍 Share openly in a supportive space
🤍 Feel heard and encouraged

A much needed resource for our community!! Let us know your interest and availability ! 🩷

🤍We're Thinking About Creating Something Special for Our Mom Community... 🤍

At The Play Social, I believe that play isn't just for kids—it's for building community & connection.
That's why I am exploring the idea of partnering with Brandy Kelley Counseling to offer a FREE support group for expecting moms and moms with young children, and we'd love to hear what you think!
Led by Brandy Kelley, LCPC, PMH-C, a local therapist specializing in perinatal mental health and a mom of four herself, this group would be a welcoming space where moms can connect, share experiences, and find encouragement from others who truly understand this season of life.

💜 I personally experienced the worst case of postpartum depression/anxiety after giving birth to my third child. I felt so alone and at the very bottom. It was terrifying. It was temporary, and I did overcome it.
After this experience, it gave me the recognition for the importance of pre/post pardom mental health & the need to find a community of women who GET it when it seems like no one does. Someone who can be there to listen, hold you, and tell you “you will get through this”.

Motherhood is wonderful, but it can also be overwhelming, lonely, and exhausting. Having a supportive village can make all the difference—not just for moms, but for their children and families as well.
Our vision is a group that meets monthly or biweekly where:
🤍 Kids can play in a safe, fun environment.
🤍 Moms can connect with one another.
🤍 Conversations are real, supportive, and judgment-free.
🤍 Families can learn about local resources and build lasting friendships.
We're in the planning stages, so before we make it happen, we want to know...
Would you be interested in attending?
👇 Tell us in the comments:
💙 Yes, I'd love this!
💙 Maybe! It depends on the day and time.
💙 What days or times would work best for your family?
Tag a mama who would love a place to connect, and help us spread the word. If there's enough interest, we'd love to bring this opportunity to our community. 💙

Happy Thursday,
Emily

We’re excited to share that Haileigh has openings available for both individual and couples counseling!

One area we are especially excited to continue expanding within our practice is support for couples, intimacy concerns, and s*x therapy. So many individuals and couples struggle silently with changes in communication, connection, identity, intimacy, and relationships — especially during pregnancy, postpartum, parenting transitions, trauma recovery, and major life stressors. These are incredibly common experiences, yet many people don’t know where to turn for support.

Haileigh offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore relationship dynamics, emotional connection, intimacy concerns, communication patterns, and personal growth. This type of support is such an important and needed addition within the perinatal and maternal mental health world, but it is also valuable for couples and individuals in every stage of life and relationship.

She currently has availability on Tuesdays, Thursdays, some Fridays, and every other Sunday and accepts BCBS, United Healthcare/UMR, Aetna, and self-pay clients.

If you’ve been considering therapy for yourself or your relationship, this could be a meaningful step toward healing, reconnection, and support.
