We're thrilled to welcome the New Year with a renewed sense of purpose and enthusiasm! As we embark on this journey of self-improvement and well-being, we are proud to introduce our new identity – Side by Side Wellness Center. While it's still the same 'us,' we've added a touch of 'wellness-ier' to our mission.

Mental health plays a crucial role in shaping our lives, influencing our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It affects how we cope with stress, build and maintain relationships, and make decisions. Given its significance, prioritizing mental well-being is essential. In this blog, we will delve into the importance of mental health and introduce a limited-time offer from Side by Side Wellness Center —a discounted hourly rate—to assist those seeking professional support in Austin, Central Texas.

Mental health issues can come in so many forms, some of which can go unnoticed for a long time. Any suspicion of mental health issue shouldn't be viewed casually. If left untreated, mental health issues can evolve into something different that can transform an individual’s life for the worse. For instance, severe mental health issue can drive some persons into suicidal thoughts, depressions, unnecessary social isolation and even broken communication structures among peers, friends and family. These are some unfortunate situations we would not want for our loved ones. The best way the bad emotional attributes linked to mental health can be kept in check is if professional mental health counselors are involved in providing the appropriate health solutions.

Please join Side by Side and clinicians in this community for a dynamic, unique, and free CEU opportunity.

I’m Cynthie Grace, proud owner of Side by Side Wellness Center.

I look forward to sharing my story. I hope that you will enjoy getting to know me better.

Meet Melissa Maldonado, Round Rock Office Manager. Melissa started her Side by Side Wellness Center career two years ago and has a bright future ahead.

Meet Brandi Winters, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW):

I am truly blessed to get to work with Children and Adults. As a lover and collector of children's books, I have several that have deep impact regardless of age.

Meet Sandra Bravo, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC):

If you share a home with, work with, or want to have a better relationship with children, then I highly recommend you read the book How To Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, by Adel Faber and Elaine Mazlish.

A mantra is a word or phrase that is simple enough to draw us away from negativity and lead us back to some beautiful truth. Therapists often ask their clients to pick a mantra, repeat it often for a week, and then report back how it changed their feelings about life.

Are you feeling scared that you are about to fall apart like a stack of soup cans at the grocery store that someone pulls a can out from the middle?

If you want to give gifts that your friends and family will talk about for years to come, then I recommend you read the book The 5 Love Languages, by Dr. Garry Chapman.You are probably thinking: How is reading a book going to help me pick the perfect gift? Let me answer that question.

Side by Side Wellness Center are constantly trying to change, adapt and come up with new ways to help preserve the mental health of anyone and everyone we come in contact with. Technology is advancing every day, making our lives increasingly easier, and we’ve now reached a point where we can use this advanced technology to reach out and help more people.

Opening up to a complete stranger irrespective of the number of degrees they have or how much experience they have is not easy. A friend may have had a great experience, but that doesn’t mean you will feel the same amount of comfort. When it comes to mental health and seeking support, people may have valid questions but aren’t sure where to find answers.

Thanks for stopping by our blog. If you’re looking for more information on Side by Side Wellness Center, you’ve come to the right place.
