✨ Big news! ✨

We are excited to share that Andrew Thompson, A-LPC/MHSP is now offering Child-Centered Play Therapy at The Counseling Center in Donelson!

Children don’t always have the words to express what they’re feeling but through play, they can communicate, process difficult experiences, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, behavioral concerns, grief, life transitions, or simply needs extra emotional support, play therapy can provide a path toward healing and growth.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

Many men have been taught to push through pain, stay silent, and carry their struggles alone. But healing often begins with a conversation.

Seeking support is not weakness. Talking about your emotions is not weakness. Therapy is not weakness.

If you have been carrying stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or burnout, know that help is available and you do not have to navigate it alone.

This month, let’s challenge the stigma and remind the men in our lives that their mental health matters too.

If you’re in the Nashville area, we encourage you to join Belle Meade UMC for worship at 8:30 AM or 10:30 AM as Chris explores the remarkable picture of community found in the early church and what it means for us today.

Mental health care shouldn’t feel out of reach.
Yet 1 in 4 adults living with mental illness report an unmet need for treatment.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminding you: asking for help is not weakness, it’s courage. Whether it’s therapy, community, rest, medication, support groups, or simply starting the conversation, healing matters. 💚

You do not have to carry it alone.
