This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the many ways fathers and father figures support the emotional well-being of their families.

Whether through everyday encouragement, quiet consistency, guidance, or simply being present, those relationships can have a lasting impact on children, partners, and families as a whole.

We also recognize that Father’s Day can bring up a range of emotions for many people. However this day feels for you, we hope you’re able to find support, connection, and care.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Kentlands Psychotherapy. 💙

Located on the street-level floor of Kentlands Psychotherapy, this inviting room encourages emotional development through hands-on play and therapeutic activities, all in the calming company of “Winnie,” one of our beloved therapy dogs.

June is PTSD Awareness Month.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder affects millions of people, yet many continue to suffer in silence because their symptoms are misunderstood, minimized, or invisible to others.

PTSD is not just about flashbacks or what people see in movies. It can show up as hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, avoidance, shame, anxiety, irritability, or constantly feeling unsafe, even in everyday situations.

This post highlights some of the ways PTSD can manifest and reminds us that trauma responses are human responses, not character flaws.

If you or someone you love is struggling, support is available.
