Sometimes, the symptoms are so debilitating that it can affect relationships, home and work life. To address mental health needs more effectively, there is a need to assess and provide greater support.

You can’t fix a problem with the same mindset that created it. Healing and growth start when we choose to look at our professional and personal patterns differently.

High-pressure environments often lead to a state of chronic burnout where your mind simply won't shut off at 2 AM. Taking a proactive step for your mental wellness isn't a sign of struggle—it's an investment in your resilience and leadership.

The Community Institute currently has immediate, affordable openings for sliding-scale weekly therapy. Our clinicians provide a confidential, supportive sounding board to help you untangle stress and successfully navigate life's transitions.

Hedonic adaptation refers to our mind’s natural tendency to return to a stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative life events. As a result, success fades fast. The strongest predictors of long term happiness are a sense of purpose, identity, and deep relationships.
