Spent four incredible days in Boston at the Clinical TMS Society Annual Meeting this past week and my brain (and heart) are so full.

I spent the first two days in the PULSES course, getting hands-on training guided by some of the leading experts in the field. Then two more days of keynotes, research, connection, and real conversations about where TMS is headed and how we can get it into the hands of more people who need it.

Mental health treatment is evolving and being in a room full of clinicians and researchers who are dedicated to expanding access to evidence-based care is nothing short of inspiring. TMS has changed lives, including those of my patients, and being part of this community reminds me exactly why this work matters.

Here’s to bringing everything I learned back home and continuing to show up for the people who trust us with their care. 🩵

This Pride Month, we want to talk about something that doesn’t always get the spotlight: the power of being a safe person.

For so many in the LGBTQ+ community, mental health is deeply tied to whether they feel seen, accepted, and safe; at home, at work, at school, and in friendships.

Research consistently shows that LGBTQ+ individuals with even one supportive person in their lives have significantly better mental health outcomes. One person. That’s how much it matters.

So if you’re an ally, here’s your reminder: your presence is not passive. Checking in, speaking up, and simply saying “you’re safe with me” can change someone’s entire world.

To anyone in the LGBTQ+ community reading this: your feelings are valid, your identity is worthy of celebration, and you deserve support that actually feels like support.

To the allies: thank you for showing up. Keep going.

Mental health is for everyone. So is Pride. 🏳️‍🌈

June is Men’s Mental Health Month.

These aren’t just statistics. They are sons, brothers, fathers, and friends.

Silence isn’t strength. It’s a system that taught men their pain doesn’t deserve space and it’s costing lives.

This month (and every month) we’re making space.

If you’re a man struggling right now: you are allowed to not be okay. You are allowed to ask for help.

If someone in your life is struggling: ask them directly. Listen without fixing. Stay.

Psychiatric nurse practitioners are trained to see the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

From day one, psych NP programs emphasize that medication is one tool, not the whole toolbox. Therapeutic presence, clinical judgment, trauma-informed care, and the ability to truly listen are woven into every aspect of our training. Psych NPs are equipped to hold space for the emotional, psychological, and social layers of mental health because real recovery is never one-dimensional.

That’s holistic, whole-person care. And it’s been the foundation of NP practice from the beginning.

We have 4 incredible Psych NPs at Onward who are currently taking patients. Learn more about them and which one might be the best fit for you here: https://www.onwardpsychiatry.com/about-us/

The internet is FULL of opinions about psychiatric medications and while people’s experiences are valid, one person’s story is not the whole story. Threads, forums, and comment sections can be incredibly overwhelming, misleading, and frankly... scary. Especially when you’re already vulnerable and just trying to figure out what’s right for YOU.

Here’s what I want you to remember:

✅ Every single person responds to medication differently
✅ What was awful for one person may be life-changing for another
✅ Stigma is real and it shows up loudly online
✅ A comment section is not a clinical consultation
If you have questions about a medication, ask your provider. That’s what we’re here for. No judgment, no pressure. Just real, individualized information tailored to YOU and your health history.

You deserve accurate information from someone who actually knows your story.

Drop your questions below. Let’s normalize having these conversations in safe, informed spaces. 👇

The weather is getting hot! So here is our PSA:
Heads up if you’re on SSRIs…heat hits differently when you’re on medication.

Many people don’t realize that antidepressants can affect your body’s ability to regulate temperature, making you more sensitive to heat and more prone to overheating. This means staying cool isn’t just about comfort. it’s about safety.

Some things that can help:
🧊 Stay hydrated (more than you think you need)
🏠 Limit time outdoors during peak heat hours (10am–4pm)
👕 Wear lightweight, breathable clothing
🚨 Know the signs of heat exhaustion: dizziness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating

As we head into the warmer months, please take this seriously and check in on yourself and each other. Your mental health journey includes taking care of your whole body. 🩵

Some trending words that have been borrowed from psychiatry…somewhere along the way, their meaning has become misunderstood. 🧠

Language matters. When we water down clinical terms, we make it harder for people with real diagnoses and experiencing these things to be taken seriously.

Swipe to see what they actually mean. 🩵
