Please read and share, especially with your employer if your benefits plan does not include coverage to see a social worker for therapy. We need to increase access to wellness supports in the private health sector as well as public.

Great video explaining how we build patterns of emotional responses, sometimes unhelpful ones. Therapy can help us learn to identify these patterns and practice new, more helpful ways of responding.

In this stressful time of physical distancing, we don't have the option of therapy face to face; however, I'm still here using private Telehealth options if you need support. Please check with your insurance carrier to find out if you'll be covered for telepsychological services. I'm hearing that most companies are allowing for this flexibility, at least during the pandemic. Stay well, my friends!

Learning to let go of what we cannot control is a key skill in maintaining good mental health.

Calm is offering some of its resources for free during this stressful time. Please have a look for some helpful meditations, soothing sleep stories and other supports.
