Back-to-school is a transition for moms, too. đź’™

New schedules. Earlier mornings. Activities. Homework. Lunches. Transportation. New teachers. New routines.

And while we spend so much time thinking about how our kids are adjusting, it’s easy to forget that parents are adjusting, too.

A new school year can bring excitement and anticipation alongside worry, stress, and a whole lot of mental load. You don’t have to make every morning perfect or have the new routine figured out immediately.

As everyone settles into a new rhythm, a little extra patience.....with our kids and with ourselves....can go a long way.

Here’s to a new school year, Del Ray. 💙

Such an honor to have this great group take time to join us đź’™

"Bipolar" doesn't mean changing moods throughout the day.

One of the most common misconceptions about bipolar disorder is that it's simply being happy one moment and upset the next. In reality, bipolar disorder involves prolonged changes in mood, energy, sleep, and behavior that last for days—not hours.

In this video, we explain:
• What bipolar disorder is (and isn't)
• The difference between bipolar I and bipolar II
• Why a comprehensive psychological evaluation can be an important step toward understanding your symptoms and exploring treatment options

If any part of this discussion resonates with your own experience, consider speaking with a qualified mental health professional. Understanding what's happening is often the first step toward finding the right support.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking...

"If they really cared, they'd already know what I need."

It's a thought many of us have—but expecting people to read our minds often leads to frustration and disappointment.

Healthy relationships aren't built on assumptions. They're built on honest communication, mutual respect, and the courage to express what we need.

This week's Therapist Takeaway is inspired by the latest episode of Shrinks on Tap, where Dr. Lauren Fisher and Dr. Eleni Boosalis explore the four communication styles and how assertive communication can strengthen our relationships.

🎙️ Listen to this week's episode on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts, and let us know what resonated most with you.

What if healing didn't mean forgetting?

One of the biggest misconceptions about EMDR is that it erases memories. It doesn't.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-supported therapy that helps the brain naturally process difficult experiences so they become less distressing over time. Throughout the process, you remain fully aware and in control.

In our latest blog, we explore:
• What EMDR is (and what it isn't)
• The 8 phases of treatment
• Who may benefit from EMDR
• What healing can look like through this approach

If you've been curious about EMDR or are wondering whether it might be the right next step in your healing journey, we invite you to learn more.
