Think of this blog as an online self help book–a great tool, but not intended to substitute for psychotherapy with a licensed psychologist. A good psychologist or psychotherapist has a lot more to offer than a blog! And while I am a licensed psychologist, I am in no way trying to diagnose or treat individuals using this blog. Likewise, I can’t give any personal advice or counsel via the blog. If you’re in the Dallas area and would like to meet with me professionally, check out www.warewellness.com.
