Mindfulness is a bit of a buzz word at the moment... but for good reason! We live in an increasingly mindless world of distraction and disconnection. We want to encourage you to practice being mindful for a few minutes every day. Along the way, we will be sharing ideas, tips, and information in our Mindfulness Monday series.

We are slowly getting settled into our office space since opening last month. We LOVE the quiet, tucked-away atmosphere of our building. Both our counselors and our clients have enjoyed seeing the different ducks and geese around the pond in the back. We are especially fond of the flock of geese... they always keep us entertained!

March is Women’s History Month so we wanted to recognize just a few of the determined, brilliant women who paved the way for us.

Happy Friday! Today we want to take a moment to introduce another Feel & Flourish counselor: Jillian Nisely As early as I can remember, compassion has run deep within me. My own personal experiences, trauma, and mental health journey taught me that therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all experience. Seeking therapy can be overwhelming, yet it can also bring a huge sense of relief. It takes courage. It's important to feel heard and connected to your therapist. Therapy can be tailo...red to your individual needs and experiences. If words alone can’t fully capture a feeling or experience, we can be creative in incorporating other approaches within my training to better assist you. Therapy is a collaborative, holistic healing process. My hope is to make therapy feel comfortable so my clients can explore the complexities of their everyday lives, and be empowered to make positive changes. A passion for helping others led me to the social work field. I received both my bachelor’s and master's degrees in social work prior to becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Missouri. Throughout my professional career I have received advanced training in multiple trauma-focused treatment approaches such as PCIT and EMDR therapy. I work mostly with adults and adolescents who have experienced trauma, challenging transitions, or overwhelming stress. I have a strong connection with the unique dynamics and challenges of adoptive families (or families providing foster care). Whether you were adopted as a child or are struggling as a caregiver, I would consider it a privilege to help navigate symptoms stemming from attachment-related issues.
