The New York Times shared an important truth today: even at the highest levels of achievement, people can be struggling silently.

Marshawn Kneeland’s story challenges the idea that external success equals internal peace.

No matter who you are, what you do, or how your life looks from the outside — your mental health is real, and it deserves care.

Marshawn Kneeland spent nearly all of his 24 years working to get to the N.F.L. He died two days after scoring his first touchdown.

If you’ve ever found yourself snapping at your partner over who forgot the wrapping paper, fighting back tears in the middle of a crowded store, or feeling your chest tighten before another “fun” family gathering, you’re not alone.

This time of year can bring out feelings of anxiety, anger, and overwhelm — even for the most grounded people. Read our latest blog on how to find your footing again when the holidays start to spin.

The holidays are supposed to be “the most wonderful time of the year,” right? The lights, the music, the food, the togetherness. But if we’re being honest — sometimes it’s a little too much of everything. Too many plans, too many people, too much pressure to feel merry when you’re really...

When you’re struggling, it can feel easier to open up to a chatbot. It’s available 24/7. It won’t judge you. It responds instantly. That might feel comforting in the moment—but it’s not the same as talking to a licensed mental health professional.

And if you’re uncomfortable opening up about your issues with a therapist…isn’t that something that needs to be addressed in therapy?
