Rising Above Counseling

Self Care may be looking different these days, but it’s more important than ever. It doesn’t need to be grand, but I encourage each of you to make it a priority. We’re only as good to our people, as we are ourselves. Tea. Bath. Walk. Less Social Media. Phone a Friend. Deep Breaths. Walk. Prayer. Read. Ice Cream. Salad. #selflove #selfcare #womensupportingwomen #femalestrong #mentalhealthawareness #risingabovecounseling #lcsw

Because @brenebrown is currently my love language :). Hope this sends LOVE & encouragement your way! Take care of YOU today! Trust in YOUR decisions. #selflove #selfcare #allthebrenebrown #lcsw #risingabovecounseling #mentalhealth #femalestrong #womensupportingwomen #workingmama

Whether you’re a stay at home MAMA that’s lost her few daily moments to self or a working MAMA now wearing her two hats at the same time, please be kind to yourself. Give yourself permission to make daily decisions. You don’t need a grand plan. You do not need to seize the opportunity and raise your own bar. Continue being true to the MAMA that YOU ALONE have always been made to be. #permissiontobeyou #selfcare #femalestrong #womensupportingwomen #mentalhealth #risingabovecounseling #lcsw

Please be extra kind & gentle to yourself during this time. Remember, that your best is all you have to give. And chances are-your best looks different from anyone else’s. You can’t do more than that. Carry with you all the GRACE. GRACE for yourself. GRACE for your partner. GRACE for your littles. GRACE for your coworkers. GRACE. Allow yourself to be ENOUGH and in a time where distancing is essential, I encourage each of you to reach out & ask for the help you need. #prioritizeyou #graceupongrace #femalestrong #mentalhealthawareness #lcsw #risingabovecounseling

It’s so easy to think we will prioritize ourselves at some later date. I encourage you to stop waiting for the perfect time. It likely will never come. The demands on you will forever be there. It’s up to YOU to prioritize YOU! Ladies, YOU ARE WORTH IT! Make yourself a priority today! I promise-your future self will thank you . #mentalhealth #selflove #selfcare #femalestrong #lcsw #emdr #traumatherapy #workingmama

I haven’t posted in a while, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself! I’m Heather DeBono, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, on a mission to empower women to live THEIR best life! I have the honor & privilege of journeying alongside BRAVE individuals who are willing to face whatever it is that has caused them to feel lost, stuck, hopeless and alone. I absolutely LOVE what I do & am beyond grateful to be doing it! Outside of my office, you’ll find me chasing after two wild boys, often on the side of a sports field :). Wishing each of you a fabulous day! #risingabovecounseling #lcsw #therapy #emdr #traumatherapy #femalestrong #womensupportingwomen #workingmama

This is a GREAT read! In today’s world, and probably to some degree-a forever issue, there is so much focus on accomplishing & succeeding (which are WONDERFUL things!), but if that’s truly our focus, I fear we’ll miss our PURPOSE. In what ways are you being intentional about living out & installing your values?! My guess is you’re already doing this in more areas than you realize. My big guy always corrects me when I use only a male or female pronoun. He has lived a whopping six years soaking in the value that the playing field of life is equal regardless of gender. And it warms this MAMA’s heart every. single. time. #livingonpurpose #risingabovecounseling #womensupportingwomen #momsohard #workingmama #mentalhealth #lcsw

If you haven’t read Wolfpack, by @abbywambach, you are missing out! Find your tribe! Be grateful for the passes you’ve received in this life & without hesitation, keep passing! #womensupportingwomen #mentalhealth #findyourtribe #lcsw #risingabovecounseling

I read this quote yesterday & it spoke straight to my heart. I wish I could share with each & every one of you just how deeply I desire you to live out YOUR best life. How beautiful this world would be if everyone was living the life they were called to live. There is a UNIQUE plan & purpose for each of us. Unfortunately, it is so easy & discouraging to compare our journey to others. Celebrate the woman on your right and to the left. Find the beauty in her journey. And allow her to speak about the beauty in yours. #femalestrong #womensupportingwomen #alreadymorethanenough #findyourtribe #overcomingtrauma #selflove #selfcare #risingabovecounseling #lcsw #emdrtherapy

Happy Saturday, my #risingabove Ladies! Today my husband brought me hot coffee in bed, my boys agreed on a show to watch & I’m out MOVING my body! I am living #mybestlife and am beyond grateful. When I’m not on my game, I allow my mind to hold VERY different expectations of what I’m willing to be grateful for. A cleaner house, better organized, in better shape, running in shoes that aren’t 4 years old . What are you grateful for? What lies is your mind holding onto about what you #bestlife should looks like? Grab onto today & allow it to be #alreadymorethanenough #risingabovecounseling #selflove #womensupportingwomen #femalestrong
