Today, I want to honor those who may not be looking forward to Sunday, the ones who are feeling the weight of

About 70% of therapists are women, as well, and women are significantly more likely than men to seek out their services.Last year, we launched The Woods, our private community for dads, stepdads, and male co-parents.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:The behavioral symptoms of young people caught up in substance misuse can be disheartening: open hostility, lying, cheating, stealing from family, and others. These symptoms can be hard to view as a result of the substances, and parents may instead blame their child for being “bad.” My guest today, Dr. Jennifer Fernandez, is a proponent of a compassionate model that sounds more complex than it is - the "biopsychosocial model." This model aims to contextualize all factors
