Dogs are woman’s (mans) best friend 🐾
Unconditional love.
Lots of connection.
Compassion and forgiveness.
How did my dogs teach this? Well…
These are all the things they show me that I should show myself, regularly! Self love, self compassion, and consistency in connection - keys to coping with the challenges of trauma-and life in general. Grateful for these reminders. How are you practicing these? Tell me in the comments! 👇👇👇

I love in person therapy! 🛋️
But when you have monitoring, bloodwork, have meds to manage and time is a finite resource…😮‍💨 it’s a lot to schlep to and from therapy on top of it all. I get it! That’s where teletherapy comes in:
1. Telehealth creates greater accessibility for sessions. No more factoring in your commute time-just log on.
2. More comfort = more safety. Icing a sore injection site? Feeling bloated? Just found out your transfer failed and you want to live that messy bun, hot mess life. You do you girl-you’re allowed. Throw on your sweats, get cozy and let’s talk. No judgement. Ever! That kind of psychological safety can be where magic happens 🪄
3. Ease of scheduling/flexibility. For me, I only go into my office a few times a week right now. But virtual is more flexible! So if you know your retrieval or transfer is gonna wipe you out-we have more wiggle room to pivot sometimes.

Do you have a rising freshman? The transition to high school or college can feel scary for some families. Others, exciting! And usually a mix of both. Luckily high schools often do a great job helping kids adjust. College is a lot more independent for our young adults. Think your college bound teen could use some help making the transition? Email us!

IS YOUR TEEN READY FOR COLLEGE LIFE? 🤔💭😥
Ask yourself….
-Will they know what to do in a mental health🚨🧠 emergency or substance misuse scenario for them or a peer? 🍻🍸
-Do they understand consent and the blurry lines that can come up with s*x? 🧑‍❤️‍💋‍🧑
-Can they manage their time on their own? ⏰
-Will roommate conflict be easily addressed or super awkward? 😬
-Do they have nutrition, mental health and stress management tools?🧰 🍔🌭🧘‍♀️🧘

The best work fam 🫶 missing a few of our team members, but they were with us in our hearts tonight as we finally got together! Love this team. The laughs, the shared insights, the hard stuff. This group of women is the heartbeat and soul of our office. SO GRATEFUL.

My latest read during my weekend beginning the start of an journey for myself and wow! I am HOOKED. As a human first therapist I believe that showing up as my authentic self is really the key to why my clients trust me, which is THE GREATEST gift I can receive from them. Especially when we are discussing - Trust helps us do deeper work. Would it surprise you to know that as a therapist, I too have my own complex trauma history? It’s taken a while for me to see how navigating this in my own therapy work makes me a better therapist. How, you might ask? Because when you sit across from me in the office or on screen I promise I deeply appreciate the vulnerability it took to show up-and I believe that lived human experience translates into highly personal centered, transformative work. It also means I know how resilient you are, how unbroken you are, and how much hope we truly can cultivate for your future.

First-I AM TOTALLY FINE-but now that I have your attention…this is another one of my PSA posts and me modeling the I preach! Medical anxiety is really common. I see folks with histories and it’s scary sometimes going to the doctor so a lot of folks avoid it. But you know what’s scarier? Not being able to make informed decisions about your health because you avoided collecting the data you needed! Today I am being screened by the RISE program at Montvale office. My family history of breast cancer and watching a former classmate be diagnosed pushed me to come to a premier center of care for my screening. Whether it’s the dentist, your primary care doctor, that colonoscopy you’ve been avoiding, OR coming to therapy make this the year you take care of yourself.

The most valuable gift you can offer to someone facing tough life challenges isn't advice, but your comforting presence and attentive ear. Dr. John Gottman emphasizes that while we can't erase all the hardships in others' lives, we can provide immense support by genuinely listening and showing empathy during difficult times.

Whether you're skilled at active listening or not, being aware of how you engage in conversations can significantly improve your relationships. Need a refresher? Learn more about Dr. Gottman’s skills for Active Listening: https://bit.ly/3zq3nux
