Anxiety

Stress and anxiety are feelings we frequently discuss online, but we may not understand the difference or recognize when professional support is needed. We have an opportunity to help people who may be struggling or managing an anxiety disorder feel less alone and point them toward practices and resources that can help.

Therapy

Therapy can be a transformative journey, and opening up about your experiences can encourage others to be proactive about their emotional health. It’s important to share authentically and balance honesty with sensitivity, so as not to discourage anyone from seeking the support they need.
