Sleep Hygiene

The Opioid Crisis
Anyone is susceptible to developing substance use problems. Likelihood of developing problematic use increases if a person has chronic pain (lasting 3 or more months), prolonged period of time taking a prescribed opioid medication, poor social support, trauma, depression, or other mental illnesses
LGBTQI* and Mental Health
Historically members of this community were labeled “mentally ill” which we know today is inaccurate. These historical inaccuracies contributed to a pervasive and unfair stigma that continues to impact the community. Today we recognize being part of the LGBTQI* community is not a symptom of mental illness but does place individuals at much higher risk of developing a mental illness during their lifetime.
How Would Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Help Me?
Strategies to change one’s thinking patterns involves increasing self-awareness. Through therapy, one obtains improved insight into and understanding of these patterns. The process of doing therapy involves constructing a concept, considering how that concept will be expressed, and then reflecting on the concepts and how it sounds. Through this process of self-expression, one gains an increased level of understanding and insight into the causes of the problem.
