Technology allows us to connect with each other in a lot of ways. Throughout the pandemic in particular, many people have been receiving mental health counseling online through telehealth. What is telehealth, and is it really as effective and secure as meeting with a therapist in person?
I don’t know about you, but I am tired of hearing and using the term “unprecedented times.” But really, how else can we describe 2020 using language appropriate for polite company? I recall this time last year when we were about to say “goodbye” to 2019. Businesses were gearing up with their “2020 Vision” themes, and many people were approaching the new decade with optimism. And then came March, which came in like a lion, but didn’t go out like a lamb.
For me, the time between early November through the end of December holds special place in my heart and mind -- a season of reflection filled with hope for our best life. In addition to hope there are three other components of living a healthy life: they are peace, joy, and love.
For some, the holiday season is not always met with the richness of love and joy surrounded by family and friends. Instead, it may be a time of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. However, your gift provides comfort and hope to many individuals knowing they can receive affordable counseling from our compassionate therapists.
