Heat Waves and Mental Health: Understanding Summer Depression

Depression /

For many people, summer is a time of vacations, sunshine, and gatherings. But, as a therapist, I often see another side to this season: clients feeling inexplicably heavy, irritable, or sad during the hottest months. While winter depression is widely recognized, summer depression – sometimes called reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) – is less talked about. Yet, it can deeply affect emotional wellbeing, daily functioning, and relationships.

Domestic Violence Awareness: Breaking the Silence and Finding Support

Relationships /

Domestic violence is one of the most painful and isolating experiences a person can endure. It is not limited to physical harm, it can include emotional, financial, and psychological abuse that slowly erodes a person’s sense of safety and self-worth. As a therapist, I often see the deep impact of abuse on mental health: trauma symptoms, shame, anxiety, and difficulty trusting again.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Honoring Strength, Healing the Mind

General Mental Health /

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when pink ribbons fill our communities as a symbol of solidarity and hope. While awareness often centers on early detection and treatment, it’s equally important to acknowledge the emotional journey that comes with a diagnosis, treatment, or survivorship. As a therapist, I often see how the mental health impact of breast cancer can linger, affecting identity, body image, relationships, and the ability to feel safe in one’s own body. This month is not just about raising awareness; it’s about honoring the resilience it takes to face cancer while also recognizing the invisible weight many carry.

How Family Vacations Can Reveal (or Heal) Family Conflict

Family /

Family vacations are often imagined as peaceful escapes — the ocean breeze, quiet hikes, shared laughter over meals. Yet as a therapist, I often see a different side: clients returning more exhausted than before, tensions bubbling over, or unspoken conflicts finally surfacing. Why does time away together sometimes feel so heavy? And how can it also become a space for healing?

National Wellness Month: Prioritizing Your Mental and Emotional Health

General Mental Health /

August is National Wellness Month, a time to pause and reflect on how we nurture our minds, bodies, and spirits.

Suicide Prevention Month: Finding Hope, Healing, and Support

Suicide /

September is Suicide Prevention Month…a time to slow down, pay attention, and remember that the conversations we have can save lives. Suicide often hides behind silence, stigma, and pain that feels too heavy to share. As a therapist, I often see how clients carry invisible struggles: feelings of being “too much” for others, or of quietly withdrawing when life feels unbearable. Talking about suicide isn’t easy, but it is necessary. Naming the pain and offering support are some of the most powerful steps we can take toward healing.

Why Body Image Struggles Peak in Summer (And How to Care for Yourself)

For many people, summer brings a sense of lightness and freedom. Yet, as a therapist, I often see another side of this season – a time when body image struggles intensify. Between pool parties, vacations, and social media feeds flooded with filtered photos, it can feel like your body is under a microscope. If you’ve noticed more self-critical thoughts lately, know that this is a common – and deeply human – experience.
