Welcome to the As You Are Counseling Blog

Keeping it real. Sharing what matters.

Welcome—we’re so glad you’re here.

At As You Are Counseling, we believe in keeping things real. Healing doesn’t happen behind a polished facade; it happens in the raw, messy, and honest parts of life. And that’s exactly the kind of space we want to create here on our blog.

This will be a place where we share meaningful reflections, practical mental health tips, and resources that speak to the challenges of being human. We'll talk about everything from anxiety and boundaries to burnout, relationships, identity, and all the everyday struggles (and victories) in between.

Some posts will be informative, others might be deeply personal or reflective. You’ll also find resources, book recommendations, links to relevant articles, and tools that we’ve found helpful both in our work and in our own lives.

At the heart of all we do is the spirit of Ubuntu—a South African philosophy that reminds us, “I am because we are.” It speaks to the deep interconnectedness of all people, the idea that our humanity is tied to one another. This beautifully aligns with our mission: to create a space where people can come as they are, be seen fully, and begin to heal in community. We believe that wholeness is not just an individual pursuit, but a shared journey.

Our goal? To create content that feels like a conversation—not a lecture. To support you with compassion, curiosity, and real talk. Just like we do in session.

We’re excited to have you along for the ride.

Come as you are. Stay as long as you need.

With heart,The AYA Team#AYALititz #LititzTherapist
