🌿 Now Accepting New Clients at Green Leaf Counseling & Coaching!🌿

We’re excited to share that Halie Hemmerle, LCSW and Kelsey Dugger, CSW are currently accepting new clients!

✨ Halie Hemmerle, LCSW
Halie works primarily with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-worth, and the overwhelming pressure to have everything figured out. Over the last two years, much of her clinical work has focused on helping clients understand how past experiences continue to shape the way they see themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth, creating a space where clients can show up exactly as they are while learning to challenge old patterns, build confidence, set healthier boundaries, and feel more secure in who they are.

🌱 Kelsey Dugger, CSW
Kelsey enjoys working with children, teens, and their families, particularly those navigating big emotions, anxiety, behavioral concerns, difficulty with emotional regulation, life transitions, and family stress.

Kelsey brings a supportive and engaging approach to therapy, helping younger clients better understand and express their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen communication, and build confidence, all while working alongside families to support positive changes outside of the therapy room.

Whether you’re looking for support for yourself, your teen, or your child, we’d love to help you find the right fit. 💚

As parents, it can be hard to know the difference between typical teenage ups and downs and signs that your teen may need additional support. While every teen has difficult days, these ongoing changes may be worth paying attention to:

• Withdrawing from friends or family
• Noticeable changes in mood or personality
• Increased irritability, anger, or emotional outbursts
• Loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Declining grades or school avoidance
• Increased anxiety, excessive worry, or panic
• Difficulty coping with stress or overwhelming emotions
• Talking about feeling hopeless, worthless, or like a burden
• Engaging in risky behaviors or self-harm

Therapy provides a safe, supportive space where teens can learn healthy coping skills, process difficult emotions, and build confidence.

Green Leaf Counseling & Coaching is currently accepting new teen clients with Kelsey Dugger, CSW. If you're wondering whether therapy might be a good fit for your teen, call our office today to schedule a free consultation. We're here to help your family find the support you need.

🌿 Summer is a Great Time to Start Therapy 🌿

When most people think about summer, they think about vacations, pool days, and a break from the usual routine. But summer can also be the perfect time to focus on yourself.

With school out, schedules often become more flexible, making it easier to start therapy without the stress of balancing as many commitments. Whether you, or your child, is struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and build tools that support long-term growth.

You don't have to wait until things feel overwhelming to ask for help. Sometimes the best time to start is when you finally have a little room to breathe.

🌱 Both Halie and Kelsey are currently accepting new clients.

If you've been thinking about starting therapy, we'd love to help you take that first step.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

“It’s okay to not be okay.”

This phrase isn’t about staying stuck. It’s about giving yourself permission to feel what you’re feeling without shame. Life can be overwhelming, and struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human.

At Green Leaf, we believe healing starts with being seen, heard, and supported. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, grief, or just feeling “off,” you don’t have to carry it alone.

Taking care of your mental health can look like:
• reaching out to someone you trust
• setting boundaries
• allowing yourself to rest
• asking for help when you need it

No matter where you are in your journey, you are worthy of support, understanding, and care.

If this month feels heavy for you, we’re here.
