👉 Ask the hard questions. 👈We assure you, and research backs it, that asking kids, teens, adults (anyone) if they have thoughts or wants to hurt themself does not implant the idea of su***de.

Good couples therapists read the books and do the trainings. Really good couples therapists know the stuff and integrate the knowledge naturally, while also bringing their true personality in the room to create a safe and honest space for people.
Good therapy should be both warm and challenging, simple and hard, and while it doesn’t always feel good facing problems (sometimes quite the opposite if we’re being honest) … we assure you it’s so worth it. 🖤💜

Moral of the story is that learning how to regulate and communicate emotions is a life long skill. If you’ve never learned, it’s never too late. If you’re a parent… your kid(s) are relying on you to teach them how. 🖤💜

Ever heard “it’s not what you said, it’s how you said it”? Research in couples and relationships show that the way people communicate is much more important than what they are communicating about.
We often say with couples and families that while in the office we’re not concerned with what they are talking about. Our focus is on HOW you are talking to each other; helping everyone to learn to communicate and listen more effectively while pointing out unhealthy patterns.
Sometimes, just a few sessions on our couch can actually make massive changes for people 🖤

When someone is going through something, instead of judging, talking behind someone’s back or giving unsolicited advice (it’s 2025 guys, that’s not cool), try to simply be a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on. The truth is that everyone is trying to do the best they can. 🖤
