Resources We Love
Therapy is just one part of the journey.
Whether you're looking to deepen your self-awareness, strengthen your relationships, or find practical tools for parenting, we've curated a list of our favorite books, podcasts, and videos to support your growth between sessions. These resources reflect the same evidence-based, compassionate approach we use in therapy—and we often recommend them to clients who want to explore these topics more deeply on their own time.
Note: We do not receive any compensation from these recommendations; they are simply resources we trust and find beneficial for personal growth.
