When depression makes even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to begin. This video shares three gentle, realistic ways to help you get moving again, even when your energy is low and motivation feels out of reach. Depression is not just a passing mood. It can leave you feeling isolated, exhausted, and stuck, but small steps can create meaningful shifts over time.

If you have been feeling weighed down or disconnected, you are not alone. Support is available, and change does not have to happen all at once. Sometimes the first step is simply finding one small thing you can do today.

Why is gaming so hard to put down? It isn’t just “too much screen time.” Video games are designed to keep us playing.

Reward loops keep us chasing “one more level”
Games offer escape when life feels overwhelming
Neurodivergent players may feel comfort in structure and rules
Tech culture in the Bay Area normalizes long hours of play

For most people, gaming is positive, but when it replaces sleep, school, work, or connection with others, it can take over. Therapy helps kids, teens, and adults understand why games feel so compelling, and build routines that make space for health, relationships, and joy - without losing what they love.

Balance means gaming can stay, but in a way that fits life instead of controlling it. Read more. https://buff.ly/mgWON0d

What “counts” as a phobia?

If a fear keeps you or your child from living fully, it might be more than discomfort or a “quirk.”

From fear of flying to fear of blood draws to fear of vomiting, phobias can be life-limiting. But they don’t have to stay that way.

This month’s blog breaks down how phobias work, how they form, and how therapy helps at any age. Read the full article here: https://buff.ly/bMWj0h5

During adolescence, grief often feels isolating, especially when peers can’t relate.

Teens may look like they’re “fine.” But grief can hide behind:

▪️ Silence
▪️ Falling grades
▪️ Risk-taking behavior

Therapy can help teens feel seen and supported, even when they don’t want to talk. Learn more about grief during the teen years and how to help from our latest article: https://buff.ly/LyEbQFm

Therapy is an effective solution for helping children cope with school-related anxieties. But sometimes it is difficult to get your anxious child to go to a therapist. Did you know that you could go to a therapist instead and learn the approaches and interventions that will actually help your child?

One such parental intervention is called SPACE Therapy. What makes SPACE Therapy different? Unlike traditional approaches, this method focuses on empowering parents to reduce family accommodations that often reinforce anxiety. It’s evidence-based and transformative.

We are proud to have a group of therapists trained in SPACE Therapy, led by our clinical director, Deborah Brewer, who is one of only fifteen people in the United States fully certified.
