Welcome to South Collective Counseling’s new mental health blog, The Therapist Perspective! All people are invited to read helpful & informative articles about mental health written by mental health clinicians. The team at South Collective Counseling wants to boost awareness and education to promote mental health and wellness.

Mental health issues can cause anyone to easily feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and confused. It is common for people experiencing mental health issues to question or ignore their symptoms. And, the stigma surrounding mental health issues can instill shame and doubt—often leading to worsening symptoms and isolation. Isolation certainly does not promote a path to healing—it breeds unhealthy habits and keeps people “stuck.”

Mental health matters just as much as physical health. The demand for mental health counseling services has markedly increased over the past few years. While our blog is not a substitute for professional treatment, we hope it helps you better understand, access, and navigate quality mental health care for yourself or loved one(s).

The purpose of our mental health blog is to reduce stigma and help people get help. Our blogs will address common mental health questions, offer motivation, and provide insights on relevant topics in the counseling field. If you have a question or topic you think would be valuable, feel free to email us with content requests at hello@southcollectivecounseling.com.

We believe knowledge is a form of empowerment and inspiration. Borrow any tips you like and leave the rest. And, we welcome you to check back as we intend to continue posting new content on “all-things-mental-health.” Thank you for stopping by!

The entire team at South Collective Counseling looks forward to helping our community thrive.
