Gap Year
As many of you know, I am the lucky parent of a senior, Cassidy, and a sophomore, Ben. I also work with several high schoolers from across the area. I have been hearing more and more about seniors taking a “gap year” and delaying college admissions for a year. To some, this is their solution […]

Our office coordinator, Katie Lane, does not sit behind a sliding glass door, and we have a […]
Mass Shootings
Yet again, for the 18th time this calendar year to be exact, we are facing a school shooting. The usual thoughts and prayers comments pop up from government officials followed by this is not the appropriate time to address the issue. So, when is the appropriate time? The appropriate time would have been after Columbine. […]
Mood Issues and the Present
Often clients have issues with both anxiety and depression. Such a combination makes sense as both are extremes in mood.
