Our series on COVID Burnout continues, with more great advice from Nicole Filipe LCMFT .

This month Nicole explains when to persist and when to call it quits, and how to tackle the stressor (not just the stress) head-on.

We also explore the roles of self care and time management in burnout prevention.

In Person Therapy for Children, Couples, and Families

We returned to our offices part-time on April 15. All therapists are offering both masked in-person and online sessions. Current clients should talk with their therapists about their preferences. New clients should call now to secure an in-person spot.

Next Month on Our Family Mental Health Blog

May is mental health month. We’ll share signs of anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and tell you how to know when your child, teen, or family needs help. We’ll also give you tips for staying connected to a partner or child who is hurting.

Every month we send a newsletter to hundreds of families on our email list. See this month’s issue here.

We don’t want our readers on the blog or social media to miss out! Click here to add your email to the list. (We will NEVER sell or share our list.) Or follow us on Facebook or Twitter to see our content when it is posted.

And of course, if you’re looking for Child Therapy, Couples Therapy, Teen Therapy, Family Therapy, or Parenting Support, we can help. We offer Online Therapy in Maryland. And our Kensington office is an easy reach from all over Montgomery County. Book a free consult today!
