[NEW BLOG] by PCS Therapist Ken Wells

"In recovery, The COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to slow your life down and cultivate the discipline to listen to your body, emotions and the world around you."

There is a race to find enough ventilators in major metropolitan areas across America. While a ventilator does not cure COVID-19, it is a fairly fancy piece of technological equipment which is designed to breathe for somebody who is unable to breathe effectively on their own. Getting enough oxygen i...

A message from our Clinical Director, Marcus Earle PhD, LMFT, CSAT, S-PSB:

"This is one of those times no one will forget and yet there is one thing I would like for all of us to erase from our minds - “social distancing.” While it is a catchy phrase, it delivers the wrong message. Right now we absolutely need physical distance, but not social distancing. More than ever we need to draw close to those we care about and love. There has never been a better time to reach out via phone to hear a voice or by video to see someone. If you know a single person, make it a priority to reach out frequently. This is not a time for a mindset of scarcity, but for one of generosity. So many are in need of support. This pandemic will bring a tremendous amount of anxiety, fear, and grief. These are all feelings which offer potential for personal growth and deepening our relational connections with others. Perhaps, on the other side of what seems like a lengthy journey, we each will find something more inside ourselves and with those who surround us.

Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask and be creative with your time."

Meet Sam Hardwig, MA, LPC. "As a musician first, I was drawn to this work as a therapist for many reasons. In both roles, you must be genuine and intentional to be effective, and you must trust the process without getting side tracked by difficulty or unexpected road blocks. You must feel safe enough with those around you to take risks, and be humble so you can continue to learn. As a therapist, I value having the role of facilitating a safe space for healing and the journey to becoming more intimately connected to yourself and others."
