We’re so excited to officially welcome Hannah to the First City Counseling team! 🎉
Hannah first joined us as an intern, and after graduating with her master’s degree in May, we were thrilled to have her stay on as a therapist while she works toward becoming an Associate Professional Counselor (APC).
Not only is Hannah an amazing therapist, but she is also an amazing human. She is warm, compassionate, and genuinely committed to creating a safe and supportive space for every client she works with.
Hannah is currently accepting new cash-pay clients. If you’re interested in learning more about working with her or scheduling an appointment, please reach out to us directly.

🌈 Honoring Pride Month
At First City Counseling, we believe everyone deserves a space where they are seen, heard, respected, and supported — exactly as they are.
Pride Month is a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, joy, and history of the LGBTQIA+ community. It is also a reminder that acceptance, belonging, and safety are deeply connected to mental health and well-being.
For many LGBTQIA+ individuals, the journey toward living authentically can include incredible courage — navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, societal expectations, and the search for spaces where they feel truly understood.
We honor:
❤️ Those celebrating openly
🧡 Those still exploring who they are
💛 Those who are not ready or able to share their identity
💚 Those who came before and created change
💙 Those healing from rejection or painful experiences
💜 Those building the life they always deserved
There is no timeline for becoming yourself.
At First City Counseling, our commitment extends beyond this month — we strive to provide affirming, compassionate, and culturally responsive care where every person’s story is valued.
You belong here. 🌈
Happy Pride Month.

💙 June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month
For many men, the hardest words to say are often:
“I’m struggling.”
For generations, men have been taught messages like:
“Be tough.”
“Don’t talk about it.”
“Handle it yourself.”
But silence has never been the same thing as strength.
Mental health struggles in men are common — but they don’t always look like what people expect.
Sometimes they show up as:
• Irritability or anger
• Working constantly to avoid slowing down
• Feeling disconnected or numb
• Difficulty sleeping
• Increased substance use
• Pulling away from relationships
• Feeling pressure to always provide, protect, or have the answers
At First City Counseling, we believe strength includes self-awareness, healing, and asking for support when life feels heavy.
This June, we honor the men who are:
💙 Learning to talk about emotions
💙 Breaking generational cycles
💙 Showing their children a different way
💙 Choosing connection over silence
💙 Learning that they deserve support too
Because you don’t have to reach a breaking point before you deserve help.
Mental health care is for everyone.

Today we celebrate the fathers, father figures, and caregivers who show up with love, patience, and presence.
Fatherhood is not measured by perfection — it is built in the everyday moments: the conversations, the repair after mistakes, the encouragement, the safety created, and the reminder: “You matter, and I am here.”
We also recognize that Father’s Day can bring many different emotions. For some, today is filled with gratitude and celebration. For others, it may bring grief, complicated relationships, longing, loss, or reminders of what was missing.
All of those experiences are valid.
At First City Counseling, we honor:
🤍 The dads doing their best and learning as they go
🤍 The fathers breaking generational cycles
🤍 The father figures who chose to love and support
🤍 Those grieving a father or missing someone today
🤍 Those healing from painful father relationships
🤍 Those longing to become fathers
🤍 The caregivers who step into this role with love
May today hold space for celebration, reflection, and healing.
Happy Father’s Day.

Today we honor Juneteenth — a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.
On June 19, 1865, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally received news of their freedom — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom and healing are not simply moments in history, but ongoing commitments.
At First City Counseling, we believe mental health care must recognize the impact of history, culture, community, and lived experiences. We acknowledge the ways generational trauma, systemic barriers, and inequality continue to affect emotional well-being — and we remain committed to creating a space where every person feels seen, valued, and supported.
Today we celebrate Black joy, strength, healing, and community. 🖤
May we continue to listen, learn, advocate, and work toward a future where wellness and access to care are available to all.
Happy Juneteenth.

Opportunity for girls, ages 12-19.

Big feelings deserve big support at every age.
We talk a lot about adult mental health, but children struggle too, and they often don't have the words to tell us. Instead, they show us through their behavior.
1 in 6 children aged 2–8 has a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder. And half of all lifetime mental health conditions begin before age 14.
Early support isn't overreacting; it's one of the most powerful things we can do for our kids.
Watch for the signs. Create space for big feelings. And remember: seeking help for your child is an act of love, not failure.

Your mental health matters.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to break stigma, start conversations, and remind each other that mental health is health.

1 in 5 US adults experiences any mental illness each year.

15.4 million adults experience serious mental illness each year.

50% of all mental illness begins by age 14

15.4% of youth experience a major depressive episode.

Stigma is one of the biggest barriers to people seeking help. Talking openly, even just saying "I'm not okay," is an act of courage that can change lives.

Small ways to show up this month:

Check in on someone, a text can mean everything.

Replace "just cheer up" with "I'm here for you."

Normalize therapy as self-care, not weakness.

Sharing resources and knowledge reduces stigma.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects approximately 1 in 36 people in the US, and every autistic person's experience is unique.

What autism is- A neurological difference in how the brain processes the world.

What it's not- A disease to be cured or a barrier to a full, meaningful life.

Autistic people may experience the world more intensely; sounds, lights, textures, and social cues can feel amplified. Understanding this helps us build a more inclusive world.

How you can help:

Listen to autistic voices, follow, amplify, and learn from them.

Embrace neurodiversity, different isn't less.

Challenge stigma when you see it — awareness starts with conversation.
