Making critical decisions and assessing risk factors is one of the most challenging jobs of a mental health professional. I remember my first client in private practice, frantically nervous in my waiting room and in crisis mode. I knew I had to assess for a plan, means, intent. I knew all of that but ...

As clinical professionals, we must accept a certain responsibility to not only be well-informed about such issues but to consciously check in with ourselves to see where we stand personally on issues that may impact us publically. Diversity is one of those words tossed around often but it is imperative it ... Shawn LaRe’s full article
The Healing Power of Nature Therapy

My Story: How My Anger at Chronic Fatigue Led Me to Hear My Inner Wisdom
The summer of 1986, with so many things in my life going right, fate played a cruel joke.
