Recommended Mental Health Apps for Your Phone

Brand New Resource!The use of Mental Health Apps have exploded during the pandemic. They can not only be useful during these difficult times with so many families staying at home, but they can be a tool that you can use with your therapist as you do work outside your session. We recommend you visit our new resource page that has an extensive list of apps based on diagnosis or issue. Click Here to visit the new resource page for clients. |
We're All in This TogetherWe partner with an organization called Music for the Soul. They recently produced a video and song that addresses the impact that the recent pandemic has had on all of us. This inspirational song gives hope and addresses that we are "All in This Together." To learn more about Music for the Soul, click here.

Nutrition and Mental Health
We have recently been working with Dr. Michelle Trias as a referral to clients who would like to improve their diet and nutrition. This can have a huge impact on a person's mental health. There is more and more research coming out that points to a brain/gut connection as it relates to the impact diet has on mental health. We believe that it is important to look at the whole person and diet is often overlooked when coming to a therapist. The impact that diet alone has on depression for example, can't be overlooked. Talk to your therapist about a referral if you are interested.
Here is Dr. Michelle's contact information and website:
