Starting a new job can be nerve-racking.

Maybe you’re a recent graduate, and you’ve just landed a job in your field. Perhaps you’ve been in the workforce for years, but you’ve just transitioned to a very different industry or you are out of your ‘wheelhouse’, and you feel much like you are starting over again.

Admitting you need help to get through a difficult time can be a major decision. If the decision is made as a couple, the decision can have additional implications as you and your partner decide to see a therapist. Even as this first step may come with some anxiety, seeking therapy is an intentional decision to initiate change and hope in your relationship. Such courage and maturity should be supported by a compassionate and experienced professional.

Many of us have seen a shift in our daily lives since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Suddenly, most of our interactions have been happening solely online.

Several months later, we’re still in a similar position. With the holidays quickly approaching, you may be planning for a completely virtual season.

As we continue to move through the year, many of us are still adjusting to life in a pandemic. Through social distancing, we’ve found ways to stay safe as we slowly integrate back into normal activities. With the holidays rolling around, however, you may be uncertain about how to approach them.

Breakups are never easy, but some are more difficult than others. Whether you were with someone for a few months or several years, you have a right to grieve your relationship when it ends.

At first, working from home may have seemed like a dream. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many of us are still working remotely. What started as a temporary solution in March of this year has now become the norm, and there’s no certain end in sight.
