All of us can be hard on ourselves from time to time (or a lot!). ;) Please take a minute to read this short blog by our counselor, Corrin, on how to effectively change self-criticism to self-compassion!

One of the most powerful aspects in therapy is the client's relationship with themselves, as it significantly impacts how they experience anxiety, depression, and relationships.

Many of you may be familiar with the concept of a "One Word" as it's something we at Best Self really value choosing each year over New Years Resolutions. Take a peek at this quick read by our mental health counselor, Ashley Schmitz, if you're interested in learning more and want to pick a word. Feel free to leave your One Word ideas that you've had in the past or are choosing this year in the comments! 😊

A one-word intention is a value, quality, or way of being you want to cultivate. It’s not about what you want to achieve as much as how you want to show up—in your relationships, your work, and your relationship with yourself. Think of it as a lens rather than a checklist.

Reduced sunlight affects our circadian rhythm, serotonin, and melatonin levels, leading to what we call Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or the “winter blues.”

The holidays are right around the corner! If you're looking for tips on how to manage your body image and relationship with food during this holiday season, take a peek at this short blog written by our counselor, Corrin Van Lanen.

As a holiday revolving around food, there might be a lot of fear around gaining weight. In reality, it is just like any other meal you are having.
