Happy New Year! It’s time to change…
The pundits are calling 2010 the year of change so let’s take that on! Is it time for you to change old habits, patterns, or behaviors? Do you feel stuck but are scared to really take a good look at yourself? Now is the time to change.
Therapy is a challenging, sometimes difficult process that ultimately leads us to our most authentic self. People often tell me they know that there’s a better, more productive self inside them that they can’t access. Through the process of having someone listen to you and understand what you’re going through, you can satisfy your full potential and become the person you really are.
Make your new year’s resolutions, set your goals, and challenge yourself to change - there’s no time like the present!

Is your teen sexting?
According to this msnbc article many teens are sexting on their cell phones and on-line. Sexting means sending any kind of sexually explicit photos or videos of oneself or another or sexual chatting either on-line or via cell phone. It seems that teens have a sense of invincibility when it comes to the dangers of risk-taking because the reward center of their brains have formed, but the prefrontal areas that manage good judgment have not.
Many states have serious consequences for sending or receiving sexual photos. Supervising your teens and talking to them directly about the consequences of these behaviors is important to help them stay safe. For more information on sexting and to read the msnbc article go to:
