During this in-depth chat, Mahnoor will outline how you can learn each other's love & conflict languages to understand each other's needs and rebuild your connection. BTW- you don't need to be in a relationship to join! All are welcome to learn and discover their own love & conflict languages.

In sticking with the theme for Psychotherapy Month, Self-Care is Mental Health Care, we're virtually deep diving into the hot topic of work-life balance! As a mental health company, we know how hard it can be for Psychotherapists to find a work-life balance because you naturally put others, and work, before anything else. While we admire your dedication, we also know how hard this can be on your own wellness. That's why we're excited to virtually connect with you on April 12 @ 6PM EST as Shift therapist Jessica Portelli guides us through a deep dive discussion focusing on how you can find that work-life sweet spot! Jessica will discuss the barriers that can make navigating work-life balance difficult, five practical steps you can take to achieve a better work-life balance, and the importance of work-life balance when it comes to your mental health. Ps. If you're not a Psychotherapist but someone looking for support in navigating work-life balance, you're more than welcome to join!

Although journaling has been around for decades, it has rarely been reviewed through the lens of mental health. In this webinar delivered by Shift Psychotherapist Interns Louisa Larocque and Eden Jacobson, you will learn how journaling is a meditative and extremely versatile tool for one’s mental health and wellness. Journaling comes in many forms and serves multiple purposes. Whether you’re artistic, organized, minimalistic, or analytical, there is something to write about for everyone! Eden & Louisa will also discuss various types of journaling, including the research demonstrating its effects on our mental health and its connection with art therapy. Suggestions for quick or “low maintenance” journaling and recommendations for existing resources will be provided. Additionally, the webinar will end with a guided journaling exercise that is tailorable to all your needs and quirks. Please come to this webinar prepared with writing materials.
