Self Help Resources
We’ve listed some of the books, articles, videos, etc. below for self help resources. These have been helpful to us and to our clients. Where possible they are are separated into categories.
And along with whatever resources appeal to you here, don’t forget that overall self-care is very important, too! Click here to be linked to our Self Care handout with a long list of ideas about things you can do for your own self care.

A big part of our philosophy about behavioral health is that each of us has the ability to achieve well-being and heal ourselves. Counseling and therapy is only one way of achieving your goals. We think it is important to share any resources we are aware of that may be helpful to you, and this prompted us to create the following list.
