Unfortunately, the holiday season doesn't always come with great feelings. Many will struggle with depression, anxiety, stress and losses. It can be extremely difficult to care for oneself in these moments.

The goal of therapy is not to fix it but create a space for support, trust and learning new skills. I work with many people, youth as young as 5, teens, and adults as old as 65. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic approach and relationship centered care I partner with you to learn and reduce distress.

If you're in need, feel free to reach out.

One of the most common struggles I see is with anxiety, with nearly 20 percent of the US population experiencing an anxiety disorder in a year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. It can feel like control, but is limiting us in our daily efforts and flexibility.

I'm excited to announce that I'm working with Headway for telehealth options for the state of Idaho. If you're struggling with anxiety and want to work on better coping I offer CBT for anxiety.

It's a tragedy to see what unfolded yesterday. Shock, pain, anger, despair, the reactions are often overwhelming. There's no one right way to feel.

If you find yourself in need please reach out to local resources. Not just myself, but there are multiple counseling agencies in the area, from Cultivation Counseling, Ellie Counseling, Coeur d Mind, and more.

Take care of yourself, and those around you. Turn off the news, and give yourself time to feel and be mindful. Please know if you need help there is help.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Erich Longpre, LCPC

Several years ago, I attended a training where the trainer gave out little reminder cards of different themes throughout the training. One said, "be kinder than necessary. Everyone you meet is going through some kind of battle."

This is so true. PTSD is a wound, like anything else. It needs time, care, attention and treatment to successfully heal. If you're reaching that point and need a place to begin healing, I offer cognitive behavioral therapy for PTSD through telehealth.
