Mental Health Blog

The Behr Psychology blog collects articles on therapy, mental health and the inner life, written for general education. Below you can browse everything we have published, newest first, or filter the list by category. Each card shows the date and the category of its article.

Under New Treatment Options you will find articles on how therapy works and what it can help with: attachment styles, trauma bonds and the fawn response, inner child work, perfectionism, ADHD and anxiety, ADHD testing, autism and neurodivergence, caregiver stress and burnout, the mental health costs of remote work, high-functioning depression, and how to talk with your therapist, including about politics.

Mindfulness covers how different therapy approaches work together and how to navigate a friendship breakup, with its grief, boundaries and growth. Meditation looks at how meditation can bring more peace to your life. Psychedelic Integration explains psychedelic integration therapy as a treatment option.

Many articles speak to people in a particular situation: caregivers, healthcare workers, neurodivergent adults, couples, and people facing a cancer diagnosis. When an article touches on something we treat, such as anxiety, depression, trauma or couples therapy, you will find a page on it among our services. Our Who We Help pages describe the people we work with, from students and professionals to older adults and couples.

Every article is credited to Dr. Jessica January Behr, a licensed psychologist and the founder of Behr Psychology. The articles are for general education and are not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment. Each article page also lists related articles and shows how to schedule a free screening call.

If you would rather talk with someone, you can meet our therapists. If a term is unfamiliar, our mental health glossary gives plain-language definitions of the therapy approaches, mental health conditions and clinical terms our therapists use.
