It’s been a while, but I’ve been busy…YESTERDAY was my last day working at the group practice, Integrated Mental Health Associates, where I had been the last 3 years. It was where I started in private practice, and help me get to TODAY, where I begin an office lease for my very own private practice, MK Therapy!

How are you feeling? When I ask this in therapy sessions, I am asking because I genuinely want to know.

How many times a day do you ask or get asked HOW ARE YOU? You and most people probably respond with: okay, fine, good. These responses tell me nothing. They are typical responses because they are safe; maybe we don’t want to share, don’t want to be vulnerable, don’t trust others, maybe we don’t really know...

Our feelings influence how we think and behave, and are vital to understanding ourselves better. Start asking yourself how are you feeling. Listen and see what comes up.

Feel free to share how you’re feeling below👇🏻.

Newness everywhere. This could be a time to look for opportunities for change:

•Re-evaluate how you manage your time
•Focus on making yourself a priority
•Focus on your health: eating habits, physical health, mental & emotional well-being
•Re-evaluate work/life balance
•Develop new study habits and/or environments to learn

There is no time like the present, so make the most of it. ✨

Hello there!

I am a SOCIAL WORKER, and have always gravitated towards helping others. Initially thought I would have been a teacher.

I am a DOG LOVER. I have a 11yr old daschund, Joey.

I am ARIZONA born. Have moved around and outside the country, but always end up back in the desert.

I am a MUSIC lover. My parents always had music playing growing up and it continues to be a huge part of my everyday.

I am a READER. Especially love memoirs.

As the pandemic continues, many folks are finding that although they are less busy in some external ways - they are still overwhelmed internally, perhaps even moreso.

Most therapists, especially with the wide use of videoconferencing software for therapy, are seeing a significant uptick in their schedules. This is true for us at IMHA, but we continue to open slots to serve everyone who may need us.

Therapy is so much more than just “chatting” or a “paid friend.” In the open, professional, and effective therapy at IMHA we give you an hour to explore your thoughts and feelings and to brainstorm new ways to think and behave.

Mental health can effect anyone at anytime. Help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health, especially in men, by checking in on them. Ask how they are and really take the time to listen.

The more we talk about our feelings, the more we normalize them, and can work through them instead of keeping them bottled up inside.

Reach out to the men in your life (fathers, brothers, sons, nephews, uncles, brothers in law, friends, colleagues...).

Well said!! 💯

Setting (and holding) a healthy boundary is your indication to yourself that you are worthy of care and protection. Taking care of you is the path to self-esteem and self-confidence.

Let’s normalize mental health for men too!
