Happy Pride Month! 🧠💖

As therapists and proud allies of the LGBTQ+ community, we know how powerful it is to be seen, heard, and supported—especially when it comes to mental health.

Pride is more than celebration—it’s also about healing. For many, it’s a reminder of resilience through struggle, of self-acceptance after rejection, and of the ongoing journey toward wholeness. Mental health matters every day, but this month especially, let’s honor the courage it takes to live authentically.

Whether you’re out, questioning, or still finding your voice—you deserve love, safety, and support. You’re not alone.

🏳️‍🌈 Take care of your mind, your heart, and each other.

Well … have you?

Why six seconds? Because in those six seconds, everything slows down. It’s a pause to focus on your partner, to share a moment that says, "You matter to me."

The Six-Second Kiss is more than a kiss, it is a meaningful ritual of connection. Rooted in Dr. John Gottman’s research, this small but intentional act demonstrates how brief moments of attention and affection can ignite intimacy, build trust, and strengthen emotional bonds.

Think of it as a love note written without words. Six seconds to turn toward your partner, no matter how hectic life gets. Next time, let it linger and feel the difference.
