“Feeling lost is temporary, not permanent.”

It’s okay to not have all the answers right now. Life has seasons, and uncertainty is part of growth. Trust that clarity and peace will return, and seeking help can guide you through tough moments.

Trisha Zukowski, one of our clinicians wrote this important article about Su***de Prevention.

Every September, we take time to talk about something that isn’t easy to bring up but touches more lives than we realize – su***de. In the United States alone, more than 49,000 people died by su***de in 2023, according to the CDC. That is a 35% increase since 2000, and it means one person dies f...

Vulnerability is strength, not weakness.

It takes incredible courage to admit when you're struggling, ask for help, or share your authentic feelings with others. Society might tell you to "tough it out" or "stay strong," but real strength is being honest about your pain and taking steps to heal.

Opening up to trusted people or professionals isn't giving up, it's choosing growth over suffering. That's true bravery.

SPRAVATO® can have a rapid antidepressant response and is added on to an antidepressant and the rest of your regimen. It is the first new mechanism of action to treat depression that has come out in over 30 years. The initial course of treatment is twice a week for four weeks then generally once a week. It can be continued 2 to 4 times a month for maintenance, as long as it is needed. I’m hoping that it can be effective for those of you who have not had an adequate response with currently available treatment.

Healing is a journey, not a race. Be patient with yourself.

Recovery doesn't happen overnight, and that's completely normal. Some days you'll feel like you're making progress, other days might feel like setbacks. Both are part of the process.

Celebrate small victories, show yourself compassion on difficult days, and remember that healing happens in waves, not straight lines. You're exactly where you need to be right now. 🌱

Trust your process. Honor your pace.

The Role of Family in Supporting Mental Health

Family support can be a powerful part of recovery when done thoughtfully:

- Listen without trying to "fix" everything
- Learn about mental health conditions to better understand
- Encourage treatment while respecting boundaries
- Take care of your own mental health too
- Ask how you can help instead of assuming
