Defensiveness is a common reaction when we feel criticized or blamed. Instead of addressing the concern, we often try to protect ourselves by shifting the focus, bringing up past mistakes, or counter-arguing.

The problem is that once defensiveness takes over, the original issue often gets lost and neither partner feels heard.

One way to break this pattern is by taking responsibility for your part, even if it’s small. Acknowledging tone, timing, or reaction can reduce tension and create space for a more productive conversation.

This post is based on insights from G3 therapist Jared Bonnici, drawing from his training in the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to strengthening relationships.

Exploring identity can feel complicated — but no teen should have to do it alone. 💬

Affirming the Mosaic is a small, professionally facilitated support group for teens who are exploring identity, self-expression, gender, sexuality, and belonging. In a calm, supportive environment, participants connect with peers navigating similar questions while building confidence, resilience, and tools for handling relationships, stress, and social pressure.

Our goal is simple: to create a space where teens feel safe showing up as themselves.

Beginning in April.

Play is critical for children’s development!

And not just young children - middle school and high school students also need time for play.

Play provides an opportunity for exploration and risk-taking, and can also provide an opportunity for important social and cultural learning too.

With growing pressure to achieve and do more every day, play sometimes takes a backseat - but it's important to prioritize play for your child!

Contempt — sarcasm, mockery, or dismissive communication — is one of the most harmful patterns in relationships. Over time, it can erode respect, increase resentment, and make even small conflicts escalate quickly.

Learning to communicate with appreciation, curiosity, and respect can help shift these patterns and rebuild connection.

This post is based on insights from G3 therapist Jared Bonnici, drawing from his training in the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to strengthening relationships.

If you’re struggling with communication in your relationship, our therapists are here to help. Contact us to learn more about getting started.

College is a time of growth, independence, and big decisions — which is why learning to trust yourself is such an important skill. 🌱

When students build self-trust, they’re better able to make choices aligned with their values, set healthy boundaries, navigate academic pressure, and recover from setbacks with resilience. It’s not about having all the answers — it’s about developing confidence in your ability to figure things out along the way.

A big thank you to G3 therapist Kathleen O’Shea for the meaningful work she does supporting college students as they build confidence, strengthen self-trust, and find their footing during this important stage of life. 💙

Lexie had a blast at Literacy Night at Amerman Elementary School on Friday, March 6! She loved listening as kids took turns reading to her—and she even got to meet Smokey the Bear.

Lexie also raffled off a basket filled with some of her favorite things for cozy reading time. One lucky winner went home with it! It was a wonderful night full of books, smiles, and lots of snuggles. 📚🐾
