• Problem-solving and navigating real-life challenges
• 💰 Budgeting, saving, and managing money
• Coping with stress and difficult emotions
• Understanding and managing anxiety
• Recognizing depression and building motivation and hope
• Building confidence and practical skills for everyday life

And because everything is a little easier with **coffee and donuts… those are provided too!** ☕🍩

💙 **Come exactly as you are.**
No pressure. No judgment. Just real people, real skills, and real support.

📅 **8-week group begins September 19**
⏰ **Saturdays | 10:00–11:30 AM**

❤️ CHARLEE’S HEART, OUR HOPE ❤️
A Community Fundraiser for Charlee & Her Family

Sometimes our community is called to come together for one of our own—and this is one of those times.

Sweet Charlee was born with a rare heart condition called ccTGA and has already endured multiple heart surgeries, including a major surgery in July 2026 that did not go as expected. She is currently in critical condition at Children’s Hospital Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, supported by machines while her body works to recover. She is also being evaluated for a heart transplant.

On September 19, 2026, our community is coming together at Sundance Lounge in Gillette for the Charlee’s Heart, Our Hope Fundraiser. ❤️

🎯 Dart Tournament — $20 per player
Sign-ups begin at 9:00 a.m. and the tournament starts at 10:00 a.m.

🎁 Silent Auction
Opens at 10:00 a.m. and closes at 4:00 p.m., with winners announced at 4:00.

There will also be food, drinks, raffles, and fun throughout the day. All donations are requested by September 16, 2026.

Funds raised will help Charlee’s family with travel, housing, food, medical expenses, time away from work, and the many unexpected costs that come with having a child hospitalized away from home.

Charlee’s mom is staying in Colorado by her side, while her dad continues traveling back and forth for work and to be with his family. This is a long and incredibly difficult journey, and every bit of support matters. ❤️

🙏 Every prayer helps.
💵 Every dollar helps.
📣 Every share helps.

Even if you can’t attend, you can still make a difference by donating, contributing an item to the silent auction, or simply sharing this post so it reaches more people.

Charlee is strong. Charlee is a fighter. Charlee is so loved. ❤️

Let’s show this little girl and her family just how powerful a community can be when we come together.

🎒 **Trauma-Informed Parenting: Gearing Back Up for School** 💚

Back-to-school season can bring excitement—but it can also bring **big emotions, anxiety, overwhelm, and uncertainty** for kids *and* parents.

As schedules change and routines start again, remember: children don’t need us to make every transition perfect. They need **connection, consistency, and a safe place to land.**

A few reminders as your family settles into the new school year:

💚 Expect big feelings—transitions can be hard.
💙 Be their safe place—your calm can help calm their nervous system.
🧡 Create predictable routines—consistency helps children feel secure.
💚 Listen before trying to fix—sometimes they simply need to feel heard.
💙 Focus on strengths—celebrate the small steps and how far they’ve come.
🌿 And don’t forget to take care of **YOU**. Your regulation helps their regulation.

There may be rough mornings, forgotten homework, tears after school, and days when everyone feels overwhelmed. That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

**Connection today builds confidence tomorrow.** ❤️

At **The Counseling Coalition, LLC**, we believe parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection, understanding, and helping children feel safe enough to grow.

💚 Happy National Just Because Day! 💚

When was the last time you did something kind for someone—or for yourself—just because?

We often wait for a reason. A birthday. A celebration. An accomplishment. A special occasion. But kindness, connection, and taking care of ourselves don’t need to be earned or saved for the “right” moment.

🌿 Send the text.
☕ Bring someone their favorite coffee.
💌 Leave the kind note.
❤️ Tell someone you appreciate them.
🌸 Buy yourself the flowers.
🧘 Take the afternoon to rest.
📞 Call the person you’ve been thinking about.

And maybe most importantly, give yourself a little grace today… just because you deserve it.

Small gestures can have a much bigger impact than we realize. You never know when a simple act of kindness might be exactly what someone needs.

💬 Tell us in the comments: What’s something you could do for someone today… just because?

🐾💚 Happy National Dog Day! 💚🐾

Today we’re celebrating the four-legged friends who make life just a little bit better simply by being there. 🐶

Dogs have an incredible way of reminding us about some pretty important things:

🐾 Live in the moment.
🐾 Get outside and enjoy the fresh air.
🐾 Rest when you need it.
🐾 Never underestimate the power of a good nap.
🐾 Greet the people you love like you’re genuinely happy to see them.
🐾 And sometimes, when life feels overwhelming, just sit beside someone you trust. 💚

Our dogs may not be able to solve our problems, but their companionship, unconditional love, and ability to bring us comfort can certainly make the hard days feel a little lighter.

In honor of National Dog Day, we want to see the furry family members who bring joy to YOUR life! 🐕🦴

📸 Drop a picture of your dog in the comments and tell us their name!

Let’s fill our feed with some four-legged happiness today. 🐾❤️

🍌🍨 It’s National Banana Split Day! 🍨🍌

Today is your official excuse to add a little extra sweetness to your day! 💛

At The Counseling Coalition, LLC, we talk a lot about balance—and sometimes balance looks like taking care of your mental health, setting healthy boundaries, getting enough rest… and enjoying the banana split without feeling guilty about it. 😉

Self-care doesn’t always have to be serious. Sometimes it’s sharing ice cream with someone you love, laughing until your stomach hurts, or simply giving yourself permission to enjoy the little things.

🍌 So tell us: What HAS to be on your perfect banana split?

🍓 Strawberry
🍫 Chocolate
🍍 Pineapple
🥜 Nuts
🍒 Extra cherries
🍦 Or ALL of the above?

Drop your answer below! 👇

And remember—life is better with a little balance… and maybe a cherry on top. 🍒💚

🎒 **School Is Back… Now It’s Time to Focus on YOU.** 💚

The backpacks are packed, schedules are set, and the school year is officially underway. After spending so much time getting everyone else ready, this can be a good time to turn some of that attention back toward **your own mental health**.

Maybe you’ve been telling yourself:
*“I’ll deal with it when things slow down.”*
*“I just need to get through summer.”*
*“Everyone else needs me right now.”*

But **you deserve to be on your own priority list, too.**

Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, relationship changes, past hurts, major life transitions, or simply feeling like you’ve lost a little bit of yourself along the way, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

🌿 **The Counseling Coalition, LLC is accepting new clients.**
Our team is here to provide a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, process what you’re carrying, and start focusing on becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

📞 **307-257-2290**
🌐 **thecounselingcoalition.org**

The kids are starting a new school year. Maybe this can be the beginning of a new chapter for **you**, too. 💚

🌿 Happy National Relaxation Day! 🌿

When was the last time you truly allowed yourself to slow down?

In a world that celebrates being busy, taking time to rest can sometimes feel unproductive—but relaxation isn't a luxury. It's an essential part of caring for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Today, give yourself permission to:

🌿 Take a deep breath.
☕ Sip your coffee without rushing.
🚶‍♀️ Go for a walk.
📖 Read a few pages of a good book.
🛁 Take a relaxing bath.
🌅 Watch the sunset.
💚 Simply be present.

Relaxation isn't about escaping life—it's about giving your mind and body the opportunity to recharge so you can show up as your best self.

Remember, you don't have to earn rest. You are worthy of it.

From all of us at The Counseling Coalition, we hope you find a few moments today to slow down, breathe deeply, and care for yourself.

✨ Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause.
