I'm not a professional, but I know some!
About This Resources Page
This page is to support your mental health journey and to help you to start looking into what could work for YOU.
I'm just a lady trying to make a difference. I am an advocate, NOT a professional therapist, and I CANNOT (and would not!) offer medical advice. This page contains many informational links, and on its own does not substitute professional help and is NOT for diagnosis purposes!
The below links are websites, hotlines, mental health professional finders, apps, blogs, etc. that I have found helpful for MYSELF or that have been recommended to me by people I trust.
None of these sites pay me to have info shown here.
Everyone could use a little therapy sometimes.
It's important to understand what therapy IS and IS NOT.
