Ever feel like your phone is glued to your hand? 📱 You’re not alone—up to 30% of us feel "addicted" to our smartphones.
But here’s the real kicker: over 50% of the time, we aren't even looking for information. We’re just trying to manage our emotions—like anxiety, loneliness, or the most underrated one of all: boredom.
The next time you reach for your phone, ask yourself: “Am I doing a task, or am I just avoiding a feeling?” 🧠
Watch the video to see how to break the cycle and find a "strategy" that’s more fulfilling than a screen.

Anxiety, depression, and ADHD don’t always look the way people expect…
👉 Sometimes it’s overthinking.
👉 Sometimes it’s numbness.
👉 Sometimes it’s exhaustion, irritability, restlessness, or feeling insecure.
These experiences can be overwhelming, and they’re incredibly common.
Understanding what’s really going on is the first step toward feeling better.
At Sullivan, we can help.

Why do we treat burnout like a trophy?
We’ve all met the person who wears their stress like a badge of honor. It’s called “stress bragging.” While people usually do it to feel important, research shows it actually backfires by pushing others away and making them feel more stressed too.
There’s a big difference between venting for support and bragging for status. One builds a connection, while the other just creates distance.
Have you noticed this happening lately?

We all have those tasks we just don't want to do, but the hardest part is usually just getting started. Instead of waiting for motivation to strike, try lowering the barrier to entry by focusing on just one bite-sized chunk. You can also make the task more pleasant by pairing it with your favourite music or a drink. Using transition moments, like right after a meal, is a great way to build momentum without overthinking it. Finding your own personal recipe for getting activated makes the big tasks feel much smaller. What is one thing you’ve been putting off that you can start today?

Every step you take, even the ones that feel small, moves you toward growth. Healing isn't always linear.

Which therapy is actually the "best"? 🤔
While CBT has an 80% success rate, the real secret isn’t just the method—it’s the fit.
The most effective therapy is the one that is: ✅ Evidence-based ✅ Comfortable for YOU ✅ Consistent
It’s about finding the tool that helps you break old patterns and build new ones. It’s okay to tweak your approach as you go—mental health is a journey, not a one-size-fits-all! 🛠️✨

Shorter days can make everything feel a little heavier…but sometimes it’s more than the winter blues.
If your energy, mood, or motivation feel off, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

AI is integrated into everything—even our requests for emotional support. It excels at validation, but therapy requires understanding the deep, complex context of your life and relationships. Can an algorithm truly grasp the nuance of finding your partner "annoying?"
This short video explores the dangerous gap between hearing and understanding, and why that limited perspective matters for your mental health journey.

Our passion for helping others inspired us to open a small private practice in 2007.
With only a small yellow page ad + positive word-of-mouth, our little practice quickly grew, requiring us to relocate to a more prominent office building within a year.
Since that time, we have remained committed to Our Values, our passion for excellence + desire to help people with a warm, down to earth style.
Today, we are proud to serve the community of Thunder Bay + Northwestern Ontario with 30 team members who are committed to providing an exceptional client experience.
Ten years later, we have achieved our dream of creating a full-service psychology clinic to help Children, Teens + Adults to Live The Lives They Deserve.
