👋 Meet Miranda Blaeuer, LMHC, a therapist who specializes in women's mental health — from infertility, to parenting, to life transitions, Miranda approaches women's health issues with empathy and understanding. "Currently, women have less reproductive rights than in the past. Healthcare is at risk of being inaccessible because of government subsidies ending. Funding to childcare is being cut and community services are in jeopardy because of lack of funding. All of these factors are increasing stress upon women and families. " ... We ALL felt we were failing. NO ONE can parent full-time and work full-time simultaneously. I've found common ground with clients and realized I found my calling; I will always be a women’s therapist." Learn more about Miranda here: https://bit.ly/47tIj3x

We wear masks for fun on Halloween — but for many autistic people, masking happens every day just to feel accepted. Masking helps autistic people navigate a world that doesn’t always understand them but it can be exhausting. This Halloween, let’s celebrate authenticity. Because everyone deserves to unmask safely.

OCD isn’t just about being “organized” or “particular.” As Haley Jakobson shares, it’s a relentless mental battle, intrusive, distressing thoughts paired with compulsions that attempt to neutralize them. These thoughts can affect relationships, work, personal safety, and self-worth. As part of OCD Awareness Week, we’re revisiting Haley’s story to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and highlight the importance of proper support and early recognition. Read Haley’s full essay here: https://lnkd.in/e5nUW6me And if you haven’t already, sign up to join Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik, LCSW, tomorrow, October 17, at 1:00 pm EST for a webinar on recognizing and supporting clients living with OCD.

Every OCD experience is unique, and understanding that pattern is the first step toward change. To support clinicians and clients during OCD Awareness Week, we are sharing our OCD Worksheet Kit, designed to help individuals explore and manage their experiences with OCD through reflection and skill-building. Here’s what’s inside: 🧩 Map Your OCD Cycle: Identify your unique triggers, obsessions, and compulsions to better understand the patterns that drive the OCD cycle. 🪞 Challenge Your OCD Thoughts: Break down intrusive or distressing thoughts and build awareness to support treatment progress. 🕊️ Manage OCD in the Moment: Practice grounding techniques to use when intrusive thoughts or compulsions feel overwhelming. This toolkit pairs perfectly with our upcoming live webinar with Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik, LCSW, where we’ll explore why early and accurate diagnosis is essential — and how clinicians can better support individuals living with OCD. 🧠Check out the worksheets here: https://lnkd.in/e2QgvHCW https://lnkd.in/ehV-p7ZT https://lnkd.in/eAyBwPSE And register for Friday’s webinar (October 17, 1:00 pm EST) to receive the full kit — Sign up to join us here: https://lnkd.in/gPVCnitQ

It takes an average of 17 years for someone with OCD to receive an accurate diagnosis. For many, that can mean 17 years of navigating intrusive thoughts and compulsions that are too often mislabeled as ‘being organized’ or ‘a perfectionist. OCD is one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions. Misconceptions delay treatment, fuel stigma, and prevent people from getting the support they deserve. This OCD Awareness Week, we’re focused on deepening understanding and reducing stigma around OCD. Join Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik, LCSW, for a live webinar this Friday, October 17, at 1:00 pm EST, as she shares how clinicians can better identify, diagnose, and support clients with OCD. 👉 Sign up to join us today: https://lnkd.in/gPVCnitQ
