THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING

Three years ago, Riverside Counseling opened its doors for the first time. There was a vision, a lot of hard work, and perhaps more than a little uncertainty about what the future would hold.
Three years later, I’m still here, still growing, and still doing what I set out to do.
Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals and families through all kinds of seasons of life. Some have come looking for answers. Some needed a place to be heard. Others simply needed someone in their corner. Every story is different, and every step in the journey matters.
Of course, there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes, too. The long days, the continuing education, the paperwork, the scheduling, and all the little things that go into running a counseling practice. It’s not always the most glamorous work, but it’s all part of the process.
To everyone who has trusted Riverside Counseling, referred a friend or family member, offered encouragement, or supported this business along the way, THANK YOU. I’m grateful for every opportunity to be part of someone’s journey.
Here’s to year four!

October is ADHD Awareness Month, and we want to talk about BOTH sides of ADHD.

Because ADHD isn’t just about being distracted or having too much energy. And it certainly isn’t about being lazy, undisciplined, or unintelligent.

💛 THE CHALLENGES ARE REAL.

For a child with ADHD, everyday things can be genuinely difficult:
• Staying focused, even when they’re trying their hardest.
• Managing big emotions and frustration.
• Remembering instructions and completing tasks.
• Sitting still when their body needs to move.
• Making and maintaining friendships.
• Feeling like they’re always in trouble for things they struggle to control.

And perhaps one of the hardest parts? Knowing what they’re supposed to do but struggling to make themselves do it.

✨ BUT THERE’S ANOTHER SIDE WORTH RECOGNIZING.

Many children with ADHD also demonstrate wonderful strengths:
• Incredible creativity and imagination.
• Curiosity and outside-the-box thinking.
• Enthusiasm and spontaneity.
• The ability to become deeply absorbed in things they love.
• Energy, passion, and determination.
• Unique ways of seeing and solving problems.

Not every child with ADHD has these strengths, but every child has strengths worth discovering.

👉HERE’S WHAT WE WANT PARENTS TO KNOW:

ADHD is not a character flaw. It’s a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, impulses, and executive functioning.

Children with ADHD don’t need us to ignore their struggles or excuse every behavior. They need us to understand WHY certain things are harder, teach them skills, provide appropriate support, and celebrate their progress.

Our goal isn’t to change who these children are. It’s to help them thrive as who they are.

This ADHD Awareness Month, let’s replace judgment with understanding and frustration with support.

💛 Every child deserves to feel capable, understood, and valued.

IMPORTANT REMINDER.

10/09/2026

Some losses don’t come with a funeral, but they can still break your heart.

You can grieve the parent who is still alive but unable to love you the way you needed. The friendship that ended without a real goodbye. Your health before pain, illness or exhaustion changed everyday life. The home you had to leave. The relationship you tried so hard to save.

You can grieve the childhood you should have had. The future you could picture so clearly. Years lost to survival. The version of yourself you miss.

People may say, “At least no one died,” without realising that something deeply important has still gone. And when others don’t recognise the loss, it can feel even lonelier.

If you’re carrying a sadness you can’t quite explain, it may be grief. You don’t need permission to mourn what changed, what never came, or what you had to let go of.
