As a psychotherapist, I know and see firsthand how important feeding your brain is for mental health. If you’re tired or stressed, it’s even more important. Unfortunately, it’s more difficult to plan meals and cook when your mood is low.

As a psychotherapist who touts weekly date nights (studies show they lead to lower divorce rates), I thought I would share ten cheap date night ideas to trump the money excuse. Go have some fun!

Couples therapy can improve your relationship with your spouse as well as all other relationships in your life. If you’re happier, research shows your mental and physical health will probably improve. That’s why I love couples therapy! Looking longer-term, retiring with someone who cares enough about you to honor you and your needs can be all that’s needed later in life.

So, just one session?

I am a psychotherapist who works with clients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)…and I have it myself.  When my brothers and I were younger, ADHD was barely spoken of. Children who couldn’t pay attention, couldn’t sit in their seats, and/or made silly, impulsive comments, were just labeled “bad kids”.

My heart goes out to clients suffering from the fallout of divorce or a breakup. However, I can report good news from survivors and hope that by sharing what has worked for them, I can encourage you to find your own unique way to survive and eventually thrive.

Check out these ten tried and true ways to increase intimacy in your relationship (the last one being the easiest and longest lasting). As a psychotherapist for couples, I have seen these work with a high degree of success!

I am excited to welcome more convenience to mental healthcare via telehealth, since we all know it isn’t always 100% convenient.  Call an online therapist for an initial consult to determine if online therapy would be right for you.  Telehealth is probably easier, cheaper, and more effective than you may think.
