Mental health is very near and dear to my heart. I recently sat down with my good friend Mike Davis who is a mental health professional and we got the chance to talk about this important topic. So many people don’t realize the tools available to them, nor the signs when to seek help. The month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so it is important to continue to bring awareness to this crucial issue in our communities and to remove any stigma associated with seeking help and finding a good counselor or therapist.
Additionally, to those experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm, I want to share these important resources and let you know that you’re not alone! Please consider calling 988 Lifeline or accessing help here: https://988lifeline.org/
There are able and willing professionals ready to assist and talk with you. So please, don’t hesitate to reach out for help!
To find a therapist near you, use online directories like Psychology Today, GoodTherapy.org, or Open Path Collective. These platforms allow you to search for therapists by location, specialty, and insurance acceptance. You can also check with your insurance provider for a list of in-network therapists.
