It’s human nature to “forget” about things that are going just fine. For couples, this presents itself as taking one’s partner for granted. However, like all the other things we know we need to maintain (from our personal health to routine maintenance on cars), a little effort up front goes a long way. Whether you […]
What do we tell the kids?
Separation, divorce, break ups…they are horrible. Painful, full of good-byes to all that was precious, or expected to be, in an intimate relationship. And like all humans, pain often makes even the best parents a little self-centered and short-sighted. As hard as it is for you to say good-bye to what you dreamed could be […]
Continuing Education is a Necessity – That Doesn’t Mean it has to be Tedious
Therapists who see continuing education as something just to get through are missing out. LMFTs (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) LPCCs (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors) and LCSWs (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) are required to maintain current skills by completing continuing education (CEUs) requirements in order to renew their licenses. This isn’t just a requirement, it’s […]

Equine Events CEU Classes For Therapists
I love CEU classes for therapists. Really, I am not being sarcastic… sure, there’s a few duds out there, but for the most part, I am always glad I attended a class. I am (nearly) always so impressed with my colleagues’ intellect, creativity and research. I am especially grateful to those presenters who, as one […]
