Celebrating 5 years of A Better Version Collaborative Counseling!

Somehow, 5 years have already come and gone!

What started as a small counseling practice has grown into a team of dedicated clinicians, a new office space, and more opportunities to serve our community.

The past five years have taught me a lot about adaptability, perseverance, and the occasional art of figuring things out as I go. There have certainly been plenty of learning curves, unexpected challenges, and growth along the way.

I’m proud of what we’ve built, but I also know there’s still plenty of room to grow and improve. We have some exciting ideas for the future, including continuing to expand our team and the services we’re able to offer.

I’m incredibly grateful for the clinicians who have become part of ABV, the colleagues and community partners who have supported us, and especially the clients who have trusted us with their care.

Five years in, still learning, still growing, and still committed to doing meaningful work.

Thank you to everyone who has supported A Better Version Collaborative Counseling over the past five years. We appreciate you! 💚

🎃 In honor of spooky season (and the fact that it’s Sunday), let’s talk about the Sunday Scaries! 👻

You know that feeling when Sunday afternoon rolls around and suddenly your brain starts reminding you of everything waiting for you on Monday?

The rushed mornings. Getting everyone dressed and out the door. School drop-off and pick-up lines. The emails. The deadlines. The responsibilities. The never-ending to-do list.

And just like that, your relaxing weekend starts feeling a little less relaxing.

The Sunday Scaries are a pretty common experience, often fueled by anticipatory anxiety, stress, or simply the transition from downtime back into our usual routines.

But here’s something worth thinking about:

Are you dreading Monday because you have a busy week ahead, or because something about your everyday life is consistently leaving you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unfulfilled?

Sometimes it’s just the transition back into routine. Other times, those feelings might be worth exploring a little further.

A few reminders before Monday arrives:

🌿 You don’t have to figure out your entire week tonight.

🌿 Rest is productive in its own way, and you don’t have to earn it.

🌿 You don’t have to do everything perfectly. Getting through the day is enough sometimes.

🌿 Setting boundaries around your time and energy is healthy.

🌿 And sometimes, the best thing you can do to prepare for Monday is simply enjoy what’s left of Sunday.

Don’t let Monday steal your Sunday. 💚

Most people think OCD is about being neat or organized.

In reality, OCD often involves intrusive thoughts, anxiety, doubt, reassurance-seeking, checking, avoidance, and rituals that can take up hours of a person's day.

That's where ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) comes in.

ERP is a specialized therapy that helps individuals gradually face situations, thoughts, or feelings that trigger anxiety while learning to resist the compulsions that keep OCD going.

The goal isn't to eliminate thoughts, it's to change the relationship with them.

We're excited to share that our clinicians at ABV Counseling have completed specialized ERP training and are now accepting clients for OCD treatment.

If you or someone you love is struggling with OCD, help is available.

📞 Contact ABV Counseling to learn more.
