The simple answer is: almost every relationship can benefit from relationship counseling. You don’t need to be in crisis or dealing with a “big” issue to come to therapy. If you find yourself thinking “something could be better” or “I keep feeling frustrated about this same thing with my partner,” you’re very welcome here. And if the issues feel heavier or more complex, you’re welcome here too. Relationship counseling is a space to bring whatever is present and explore it with care and support.

First of all – we must always remember that when we say everything is normal on your labs…. we mean everything is normal that we tested. Meaning, if we don’t test for the thing that is off we won’t know it’s a problem. This is often forgotten when we talk about basic blood work – it’s easy to assume that it is a complete and comprehensive assessment, which isn’t the case. Basic blood work is just that – it’s the basics, not a list of EVERYTHING that can possibly be tested.

There are plenty of simple, practical ways to stay comfortable and keep moving when winter rolls in.

When we think about cardiovascular disease, we tend to think about cholesterol, blood pressure, exercise, and diet. These things matter, of course. But there is another risk factor that is quieter, harder to measure, and often overlooked: loneliness.
