Sometimes, relationships can be hard to manage. We all experience complicated stages in our lives, and times of stress can put a strain on relationships with your loved ones. When juggling times of challenge in your relationships and personal life stressors, arguments can easily feel like something that you, as a couple, cannot seem to get past.

It can be surprising and difficult for parents to learn that their children can experience anxiety. Anxiety in children often looks different from anxiety in adults, so it can be hard to understand when it's happening. Understanding the differences between adult and child anxiety can help parents recognize the signs in their children and know how to best help them.

As a parent of a teen with OCD, it can be difficult to watch them struggle to manage their symptoms while also keeping up with school life, homework, and expectations from peers. They may feel lonely through this time, and it can feel like no one understands what they are going through.

Do you feel that either you or your partner has difficulty trusting the other? Do you find that you or your partner struggle with needing constant reassurance? Do you feel stressed, drained, or overwhelmed as a result of these anxious behaviours? This can be a sign that there is an anxious attachment in the relationship.

When thinking about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you might not consider your teen as someone likely to experience it. What is often surprising for parents is to learn that OCD actually most commonly develops in teen years.  As a teen, it can be difficult to seek help from others. They may want to handle it on their own. 

Parents hope that their children are able to lead a life where they feel happy and fulfilled. We do our best to make sure that they know we are with them for every twist and turn. As your child transitions into becoming a teen, they will encounter a new set of challenges through challenges different than ones they faced in childhood.

Does finding time to even think about making time for your relationship seem to be getting harder and harder? You may be feeling more and more pressure to work longer hours, keep our kids entertained, and care for your parents.

Participating in couples therapy can provide vital support for the health of your relationship by giving you tools that you can use to make your relationship last, but it is often an under-utilized resource.

As a parent or caregiver, realizing your child is dealing with anxiety can be heartbreaking. Getting to the root cause of their anxiety is the best thing you can do for both of you.

No parent wants to think about their teenager dealing with depression. Unfortunately, it’s very real and more common than you might think.

Depression affects millions of people across the globe. Some people are able to function with the symptoms better than others. But, no matter how well you’re able to “control” the effects of the condition, you shouldn’t have to mask them just to get through the day.

Thankfully, there are some things you can do right away to stop anxious thoughts in their tracks, so you can take control and finally reach out for the help you deserve. Let’s cover a few of those tips and tricks.

Attachment patterns from early childhood can greatly affect relationships into adulthood. Styles of attachment are formed in the first few years of our lives. These patterns carry over into our intimate relationships and even how we parent our own children.

When a family member suffers from substance abuse, it affects the entire family unit. No family is the same so each situation is unique to itself.

When people are bullied, the effects can last a lifetime. It can cause a lot of issues for children into adult life.

Social anxiety is one of the most common forms of anxiety. When you suffer from social anxiety, you tend to feel uncomfortable, nervous or shy is any social situation.

It’s no secret that meditating is great for mental health. But sometimes we all may wonder “how does anyone have the time?!”
