Therapist Highlight of the Month!

This month we are highlighting Jim DelaMotte, Psy.D., a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. Jim has been with Eaglecrest for 29 years, since its founding in 1997. He specializes in working with individuals on the autism spectrum and is trained in psychological assessment and testing.

A fun fact about Jim is that he enjoys playing video games.

Jim is not currently accepting new therapy clients, but is accepting new clients for testing and assessment services.

Happy Labor Day! ❤️🤍💙

Take the day off from the usual hustle and give yourself permission to relax. The laundry can wait, the emails can wait, and that never-ending to-do list will still be there tomorrow. Today, make some time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the day!

Even though it still feels like summer outside, we know a new season is coming. And sometimes, the changing of seasons can remind us of all the changes happening in our own lives.

Some changes are exciting. Some are difficult. Some are completely outside of our control. If you’re entering a season of uncertainty, Joshua 1:9 offers a simple reminder: Be strong. Be courageous. God is with you.

You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to know exactly what comes next. You can take the next step knowing that God’s presence goes with you.

Joshua 1:9 💙

Therapist Highlight of the Month!

This month we are highlighting Leanna Griffin, a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been serving clients at Eaglecrest since 2004. Leanna works with individuals and couples, with a special passion for women's issues, marriage counseling, trauma, and grief. She is dedicated to providing a compassionate, supportive environment where clients can find hope, healing, and encouragement through life's challenges.

A fun fact about Leanna is she teaches Zumba and enjoys taking dancing classes with her husband.

Leanna is currently accepting new clients, though availability is limited. If you're interested in working with her, our office would be happy to discuss current wait times and scheduling options.

Back-to-school is right around the corner! While children might be groaning (and parents rejoicing! 😉), it's the perfect time to reset routines and set your child—and your whole family—up for success.

Here are a few of our therapists' top tips for starting the new school year off strong. 🍎📚💙

God has entrusted each of us with specific gifts, relationships, and time on this earth. We often lose sight of what God has given us when we are too busy, stressed, or fill our lives with distractions.

How can you be a faithful steward of these things today? 💙
