Happy Halloween!
It's OK not to be OK. When we try to swallow down our emotions and problems it can lead to increased anxiety, fear, anger, and withdrawal from relationships to name a few. The first step is admitting you're not OK, the second is to talk to a counselor who can assure you, you are not alone, weak, or shameful. You are a wonderful being worthy of a fulfilling life and to possess the tools to thrive.

The holidays can be hard for someone trying to overcome an eating disorder because many traditions are celebrated with food. Therapy equips individuals with practical strategies to change harmful behaviors and develop healthier coping mechanisms. This includes managing triggers, establishing routines, and cultivating positive habits.

Christmas is only two months away from today! No matter how you observe the holidays, the season is upon us, and that usually means an added level of stress. It can be challenging for relationships as well, as worries and arguments about spending money and time emerge, and the added busyness during the few short months stretches everyone thin. As old wounds rear their head, give each other the gift of reconnection when you work with a couple's therapist to survive the holidays and improve your communication for years to come!

There can be a lot of causes of the loss of intimacy between a couple, from depression, fatigue, loss of respect, infidelity, sexual dysfunction to past trauma. But instead of avoiding a difficult conversation and hoping it gets better, which may compound the problem, talking with a therapist and communicating in a safe space together can get you back on track.

When you reach midlife, you and your partner are most likely not the same people you were when you came together. In fact, you may have vastly different interests, friends, and beliefs. It can be easy to grow apart, or just live parallel lives. But if you are still seeking a fulfilling relationship, communication is key. You can be different and still grow together, and if you need help figuring out where to go from here, our Couple's Counselors are here for you.

As a parent, when you sense your child is struggling, you wish in that moment they came with an instructional manual how to fix it. But with children, they don't always know how to express themselves when it comes to mental health. Rather, they may manifest with physical complaints like headaches or stomach aches, instead of saying they feel sad or hopeless. Trust your instincts and get help from a licensed therapist with the tools to help your child communicate.

"I" statements start with the word "I" and focus on your own perspective and experiences rather than accusing or blaming your partner. They can also help the other person better understand where you're coming from and encourage open and honest communication.

A professional therapist can work with you to effectively express each partner's particular concerns with "I" statements. They can also work with you to develop behavior patterns, so you're more likely to use and "I" statement instead of a blaming "you" statement when you want to express your feelings.

Fall can bring on more than beautiful colors, cooler temperatures and shorter days – the shift in weather can lead to a dip in mood and energy... "feeling blue." Routines take over and there's less time for outdoor activities and down time. It is thought that shorter days and less daylight may trigger a chemical change in the brain leading to symptoms of depression. As a lack of sunlight may lead to lower serotonin levels, which affects mood, appetite, and sleep.

The feelings of shame about your addiction may keep you up at night with thoughts like... I can't believe I let myself do this again, what am I doing to my family, I may die if I don't stop, I can't trust myself to stop, I need help, what if someone saw me getting help? I'll have to try kicking this on my own, tomorrow.

As parent, when we see our children struggling with anxiety, we want to remove them from the situation and fix it. But it is far more helpful to give them the tools to cope when they get stuck. One example is the 3-3-3 method. Ask your child to name 3 things they can see, 3 sounds they can hear, and move three parts of their body. This exercise helps them to refocus on the present and be back in their bodies instead of stuck in fear.

We may often be told or tell ourselves when it comes to sports performance, if you just push yourself harder, you'll play better. The reality is, when that pressure turns into anxiety, it is counterproductive. Anxiety about sports performance can impair decision making on the field, create a crippling fear of failure, and deplete the joy that was ever found in playing the game.

Working through your dissociation can be difficult. You may not be able to remember key events or feel separated from your surroundings. It's important to know that you are not alone. Talking to someone who can offer compassion, understanding, and is trained in mental health treatment of trauma can offer you hope.
