Eating Disorders Awareness Week is a reminder that eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that impact people of all ages, genders, and body sizes. Stigma, shame, and silence often make it harder for individuals and families to reach out for support.

Therapeutic approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can be helpful in treatment by teaching skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and rebuilding a healthier relationship with food, body, and self. DBT also supports clients in reducing harmful behaviors through skills, structure, and validation ,instead of judgment or pressure.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with disordered eating or concerns around food and body image, you’re not alone. Early intervention and access to supportive care can make a meaningful difference.

Call our office at 954-477-7455 for a complimentary consult to learn more about DBT and other treatment options available at My Counseling Connections.

International Self-Esteem Day is a reminder that how we speak to ourselves matters. Confidence isn’t about perfection, it’s about recognizing our worth, our strengths, and our inherent dignity, even on the days we struggle.

Many people carry quiet self-criticism, comparison, or shame that can shape how they show up in relationships, school, work, and daily life. With support, those patterns can shift. Self-esteem is a skill that can be built, nurtured, and strengthened over time.

If you or someone you love could benefit from support in building healthier self-esteem, we’re here.

Call our office at 954-477-7455 for a complimentary consult.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. This is a time to shine light on unhealthy relationship patterns that too often go unnoticed. Many teens don’t have the language, skills, or confidence to identify red flags, set boundaries, or ask for support when something doesn’t feel right.

DBT for Teens can help. Skills like assertive communication, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness give young people tools to navigate relationships with more clarity, confidence, and safety. These skills don’t just reduce harm, they strengthen self-respect and support healthier connections.

Parents, caregivers, and teens don’t have to figure this out alone. Support and education can make a meaningful difference in how teens show up in relationships now and in the future.

If you’re concerned about your teen or want guidance around healthy relationships, we’re here.

Feeling flooded, stretched thin, or pulled in too many directions is a common experience, especially when you’ve been in “push through” mode for a long time. Burnout and emotional overwhelm often show up when your mind and body have been absorbing stress without a chance to reset.

Therapy can help you slow down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and identify what support you’ve been missing. Sometimes simply having a space where you don’t have to be the one holding everything together can make a real difference.

Reaching out isn’t just for crisis points, it’s also for preventing things from getting that far.

Call our office at 954-477-7455 for a complimentary consult.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, a reminder that relationships should never be built on fear, control, or intimidation. Many teens struggle quietly, unsure of how to make sense of unhealthy dynamics or how to ask for help.

Education, boundaries, and emotional safety matter. When young people learn what respect looks like, and what it doesn’t, they’re better equipped to build healthy connections and protect their well-being. Support can make a meaningful difference for teens and for their families as they navigate these conversations.

If you’re concerned about your teen or want guidance around healthy relationships, we’re here.

Call our office at 954-477-7455 for a complimentary consult.

Feeling stuck can be frustrating and draining, especially during seasons of change, uncertainty, or competing priorities. It doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it often means you’re navigating something complex and want to make choices with intention.

Many people seek therapy when they’re overwhelmed by possibilities, worried about making the “wrong” move, or unsure of what comes next. It’s not about a lack of caring, it’s usually the opposite.

In therapy, we don’t hand out answers. We help you sort through the noise, identify what matters most, and move forward in a more grounded way.

💡 Small practice to try:
Choose one tiny next step. Not the entire solution, just the next thing. Clarity often builds through action, not before it.

Support can make the process feel lighter and more manageable.

📸 What DBT Skills Actually Look Like in Real Life
Example: You don’t feel motivated, you want to stay in bed, and your thoughts are spiraling.
👉 Opposite Action looks like getting up anyway, taking a shower, and doing one small task, even when your emotions say “don’t.”

Small actions. Real skills. Real-life practice.
