    Highlights from our time at the Higher Learning Co Highlights from our time at the Higher Learning Commission Conference in Chicago this March.

Our team shared work focused on building stronger connections across academic affairs, student services, and operations to better support student belonging and success.

Moments like this highlight the meaningful work happening across our community and the impact it has on the future of higher education.

    Understanding people starts with understanding pur Understanding people starts with understanding purpose, connection, and growth.

These core ideas from Adlerian psychology remind us that behavior has meaning, belonging matters, and change is always possible. 🌱

Whether in counseling or everyday life, small shifts in awareness can open the door to something new.

    Insight is often the first step toward meaningful Insight is often the first step toward meaningful change.

When people begin to understand their patterns and choices, new possibilities start to open. Growth does not always happen all at once. It builds through awareness, reflection, and small shifts over time.

Clarity is something you develop, not something you instantly find. 💡

Our team recently attended the ACA Conference & Expo, where counseling professionals came together to learn, connect, and grow. Dr. Solange Ribeiro and Dr. Nicole Randick had the opportunity to engage with attendees and highlight Adler’s Expressive Arts Therapy (EXAT) certificate, sparking meaningful conversations around creativity, insight, and personal growth.

We’re grateful for everyone who stopped by the booth and took the time to connect! ☺️

Strength based counseling focuses on who you are at your best and what you can become. By recognizing strengths, building confidence, and exploring purpose, meaningful change becomes something you can actually sustain 💭
