Are you having trouble adjusting to motherhood? It is normal to experience the “baby blues” during the first days and weeks after giving birth. You may have feelings of disappointment, irritability or anxiety that usually go away without treatment. However, these feelings could also be a sign of postpartum depression, which is much more serious and longer-lasting than the baby blues.

The self of the therapist is the instrument through which interventions and therapeutic models are provided to clients. If we think of the therapist as the guitar and one or more strings are out of tune or missing, the therapist may not be fully effective. The self of the therapist is important because therapists' values, morals, relationships, competence, education, and training all influence the procedure and outcome of therapy, just as strings on a guitar affect the quality of that instrument. The purpose of knowing about the self of the therapist is to make ethically sound and unbiased decisions in assessment and treatment.

A divorce alters a child’s sense of their family unit, the first group of support and love that they know. Children can feel guilt and believe that they are to blame for the split of their parents. Divorce turns a child’s world upside down by shaking up its main source of stability. Children may have trouble understanding the introduction of step families or new partners and may need help adjusting to this new sense of family. Divorce and the trauma that comes with it can increase the risk for learning, emotional and behavioral issues, physical health problems, aggression and substance and alcohol abuse. Long-term effects of divorce on a child can continue to surface for decades to come. This support group is for kids from age 10-18.
