✨Tip Tuesday from Shelby ✨ Your nervous system is your child’s greatest teacher. Before a child can learn to manage big emotions on their own, they need to borrow that regulation from a safe adult. That is not a parenting hack. That is how the brain actually develops. If you have ever felt like you are running on empty while trying to hold it together for your kids, that is not a failure. That is a sign that you deserve support too. At Strive CLE Counseling we work with parents and children to build the kind of connection and skills that make the hard moments a little more manageable. Reach out through our website to get started.
You deserve a space where you never have to shrink yourself to feel accepted. 💙 Skye creates the kind of environment where all of you is welcome. Your identity, your story, your struggles, and your strengths. The work is collaborative, the pace is yours, and the goal is always lasting change that actually shows up in your real life. Skye is now booking new clients at Strive CLE Counseling and appointments are available immediately. Reach out through our website to get scheduled.
Hope your 4th is full of sunshine, good people, and maybe a well earned break from the noise of everyday life. Whatever your celebration looks like today, from backyard cookouts to fireworks downtown, we hope you get a moment to actually enjoy it. From our team at Strive CLE Counseling, happy Independence Day.
People think the first therapy session is jumping straight into the deep end. Meanwhile we are over here asking about your dog, your favorite movies, and what actually helps you feel better. Getting to know you is the whole point of session one. It’s just a real conversation with someone who is genuinely here for it. When you are ready to take that first step, our team at Strive CLE Counseling is here. Reach out through our website to get started.
We have some super powerful insights from Hannah today. ✨ The pressure to be somewhere other than where you are is one of the heaviest things people carry. 💙 Most of the time nobody stops to ask where that measuring stick even came from or whether it was ever fair to begin with. Your life is not a race with a fixed finish line. It is a story that is still being written and some of the best chapters have not happened yet. If comparison and the weight of unmet expectations have been running your inner dialogue, our team at Strive CLE Counseling is here to help you find a kinder way to look at your own journey. Reach out through our website to get started.
When the @cleguardians decide to show up for you, they really show up! 💙⚾ As one of six Cleveland small businesses selected for the Guardians Going to Bat for Small Business award from @pncbank we got an in person visit from Slider himself and honestly it was everything we needed this week. Mental health practices do not always get recognized for the community impact they have. This one meant everything to our team. Cleveland has shown up for us and we are going to keep showing up for Cleveland every single day. Thank you to the Cleveland Guardians and PNC for this incredible honor. We are so proud to be part of this community. Follow our page to stay up to date on everything happening at Strive CLE Counseling and reach out through our website if you are ready to get started.
If you read that list and felt personally attacked, we should probably talk. 😅 So many adults spend years blaming themselves for patterns that are actually rooted in ADHD. The procrastination, the scattered focus, the late night bursts of energy on everything except what matters most. Strive CLE Counseling now offers adult ADHD assessments, a real structured process that gives you actual answers instead of more self blame or a years long waitlist somewhere else. Reach out through our website to learn more and get scheduled.
There is a specific kind of joy that comes from watching a client notice their own progress before anyone has to point it out to them. For clients on Spravato, that moment often comes quietly. A lighter morning. An easier conversation. A day that did not feel as heavy as it used to. And then one day they say it themselves. That shift is the whole point. Not just symptom relief, but genuinely feeling like yourself again. If you have been waiting for that moment, Spravato might be worth exploring. Reach out through our website to learn more.

✨ Therapist Tip Tuesday from Abbey ✨ Getting outside and near water is one of the simplest things you can do to give your nervous system a break. No appointment necessary. No plan required. Just you, the sound of the water, and a few minutes to actually breathe. Sometimes the smallest resets make the biggest difference. And if you find yourself needing more than a walk by the lake, our team at Strive CLE Counseling is here for that too. Reach out through our website to get started.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just ready for something to change? That is exactly the kind of work Skye does best. Skye works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and identity related concerns. Skye is especially passionate about supporting middle aged and older women and LGBTQ+ individuals. Every background, culture, and identity is welcomed here, no exceptions. Outside of sessions, you will likely find Skye hiking, lifting, or deep into a board game with family, including a golden retriever, two cats, and a leopard gecko. If you are looking for a space where you feel heard, respected, and genuinely supported, Skye is now accepting new clients. Reach out through our website to get started.
