The perpetual challenge of achieving work/life balance is an issue that is relevant to many. It comes up frequently here, not just in the stresses that bring people to treatment but even in the mere scheduling of appointments. I recently read a moving speech given by Kim Clark, former Dean of Harvard Business School, …

A young adult patient at Maze Women’s Health was discussing her difficulty in finding new friends as her old ones are becoming more involved in their own romantic relationships and spending less time with her.

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, someone proves you wrong! Brazil is planning on building an erotic theme park. You can’t make this stuff up.

When we think of addictions we often think of substance abuse or gambling problems. However, as a therapist I often see patients who seem to be “addicted” to resentment.
