Practicing Self-Care and Setting Boundaries
Megan Barfield, MS, LMFT |
| In a world becoming more focused on mental health, we often hear the terms “boundaries” and “self-care” without much context into what these two concepts look like in reality. They can even be confusing, with self-care being misconstrued as a “treat yourself” mentality (which sometimes it can be) and boundaries being associated with cutting people off who are “toxic” or “not good for us.” |

Online Screening |
| Everyone has days when they feel down, sad, unmotivated, or “blah”. It’s natural to have changes in mood related to life events, relationship problems or other circumstances. Brief screenings are the quickest way to determine if you or someone you care about should connect with a behavioral health professional. |
