☀️ Sparrow is soaking up the last moments of summer! ☀️

During the week, she’s busy learning how to be a comforting presence in the therapy room, but on the weekend? She’s a summer splash queen!

This little therapy dog-in-training reminds us to chase joy, rest well, and hold onto the light while it’s still here. Because sometimes healing looks like sunshine, belly flops, and a long nap after. 💙

Here’s to more laughter, more play, and soaking in the season while it lasts.

Let’s be honest—most of us didn’t learn how to talk about s*x in grad school.

Join Sara Hadgraft, LMFT, LPC at The Confident Therapist as she helps clinicians build confidence in addressing s*xual health with clients—without shame or discomfort.
✅ Understand your role
✅ Learn how to open the conversation
✅ Know when to refer
✅ Feel more prepared (and less panicked)
Let’s normalize this part of the work—because your clients need you to.
