Recommendations & Free Resources

We know that therapy isn't always accessible, and that there are lots of steps between knowing something isn't quite right and being ready to seek formal support. That's where our recommendations for free or low-cost resources can be helpful to you while you navigate this part of your journey. 

​

Of note, the free worksheets we have created ourselves, and are subject to copyright laws. 

​

The below list of recommendations is constantly changing and evolving, so check back regularly for more options! As with everything, these resources are just our recommendations and do not replace the individualized support offered in therapy. We do not take responsibility for any impacts that these resources may have on you, nor for the validity or integrity of the resources in any way. Please know that all of these resources belong to a third party that we cannot independently verify or condone. Make sure that you do your own research to determine which, if any, of these resources are right for you in this part of your journey.
