Below is a collection of books, websites, podcasts, and other resources that we ourselves have explored, and that we regularly recommend to our clients.
Whether you are waiting for your first appointment, wanting to learn more about your diagnosis or concern, or needing information to supplement the work you are doing in therapy, we hope this collection of authors and their work is helpful to you and/or your loved one. Each section (in alphabetical order) was curated to represent a topic that we frequently address in therapy or which can deepen your understanding of self.
