Many people confuse sadness with depression, but they are not the same. Sadness is a natural response to hard moments and usually fades with time.

Depression lasts longer and can affect how you think, sleep, eat, and connect, even when there is no clear reason. If you are struggling, talking with a therapist can help you understand what you are feeling and find a path forward.

How does scrolling social media make you feel?

Today is Safer Internet Day, a global reminder to create a safer and healthier online world, especially for children and young adults. While social media can help us stay connected, it can also affect mental health by influencing mood, self-esteem, anxiety, and overall well-being.

If you are a parent or have teens in your life, take this opportunity to start an open conversation. Ask thoughtful questions that encourage them to reflect on how social media impacts their mental health and how they can build healthier online habits.

👉 Start the conversation today. If you or your teen need additional support, our team is here to help.

In relationships, intense attention and affection can sometimes feel flattering, but not all of it comes from a healthy place. Love bombing is a form of emotional manipulation that can appear as devotion while aiming to create control and dependency. Understanding the difference between genuine care and unhealthy patterns can help protect your emotional well-being and guide you toward safer, more balanced relationships. 🤝

If this resonates with you or someone you care about, support is available. Visit our website to learn more and schedule an appointment.

Together, we can help you recognize red flags, build boundaries, and work toward healthier connections. 💘
