My family member doesn’t want to go to therapy – What can I do?
When our loved ones are struggling with mental health, we look for various ways to relieve them of this burden. We may try to distract them, make them laugh, or go on trips.

Communication is Key – But First You Have to Know What You’re Asking For
Here’s a truth about relationships that a lot of us struggle with: you have to learn how to communicate your needs to the person you are with.

Starting Slow: How to Set (and Keep) Realistic Goals
With 2021 upon us, the topic of what is your New Year’s resolution often comes up. Unbeknownst to some, New Year’s resolutions have been around for thousands of years.
New Year, New You – How Focusing on Habits Can Improve Your Life
In the spirit of the New Year, and the resolutions that often accompany its arrival, this blog post is going to focus on habits. For many, the word “habits” conjures up images of nail biting, or binge-watching The Office after work– and these are habits we tend to focus on when making a resolution. Therapeutically speaking, habits are important to consider, too.
