Actionable Steps for Therapists (And All Human Beings) In Response to the Racial Pandemic
We are angry. We are indignant. We are hurt. We are distraught. We are united in pain, frustration, and a want for change. Centuries of cumulative trauma brought on by racial discrimination have spilled over into what we see today in streets across our country. Social media, conversations, articles and op-eds are plentiful. All make […]

A Survey on Chinese Counseling Hotline Services
COVID-19 first outbroke in Wuhan at the very beginning of 2020, and quickly spread across the country, and over the world.

Effectiveness For Online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Versus Outpatient Treatment

Gay in OK
Be a blank slate, but also be an advocate. Wait, no, not like that. In graduate school, we are taught to hopefully become ethical, effective psychological practitioners.

More Than Bubble Baths and Wine
I recently attended a faculty awards ceremony at my university. The faculty award recipients, along with the audience, watched videos of remarks and comments from the awardees’ students and colleagues. All of the remarks were expectedly heartwarming and lovely; however, I could not help to notice a trend in each of the videos. Nominators remarked […]

An Independent Practice Does Not Need to Be an Isolated Practice

Amorphous Pain
You are in physical pain. You go to your doctor, and after identifying where you feel pain and how long it has been going on, a medical profession proceeds to ask you a number of questions. You may be given a pain scale chart, a numeric scale (NRS – Numeric Rating Scale) sometimes replaced or […]
