  Emotional eating isn’t about lack of willpower. It’s often about coping. Stress, anxiety, sadness, boredom—even overwhelm—can all trigger the urge to eat, not because your body is hungry, but because your mind is looking for comfort. The challenge? Food may bring temporary relief, but it often leaves behind guilt, frustration, or shame—keeping the cycle going. Understanding the *why* behind emotional eating is the first step toward changing the pattern. At PVD Psych we help clients build healthier coping tools , improve emotional awareness, and create a more balanced relationship with food.

  Did you know? Family therapy can be a powerful tool—not just for teens, but for parents too. When your teen is struggling, it can feel like communication breaks down and everyone ends up on opposite sides. Family therapy helps create space for understanding, healthier boundaries, and stronger connection. At Providence Psych, we work with families to help bridge that gap—so it feels less like *us vs. them* and more like *we’re in this together.*  https://pvdpsych.com/ #PVDPsych   #FamilyTherapy   #TeenMentalHealth   #ParentingSupport   #MentalHealthMatters   #FamilyConnection

  When we talk about postpartum depression, most people think of moms—but dads can struggle too. Studies show that about 1 in 10 new fathers experience postpartum depression in the first year after having a baby. And it doesn’t always look like sadness. For men, it can show up as irritability, emotional withdrawal, overworking, feeling disconnected, or struggling to bond with their baby. New parenthood changes everything and mental health deserves to be part of the conversation for both parents. If you or someone you love is feeling overwhelmed after welcoming a baby, support matters. Therapy can help. https://pvdpsych.com/can-men-get-depressed-after-having-a-baby/ #PVDPsych   #PostpartumDepression   #PaternalMentalHealth   #MensMentalHealth   #NewParentSupport   #MentalHealthAwareness

  Meet Logan England , LICSW I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and offer in person and online therapy to primarily adults, but also youth, in Rhode Island. My areas of special interest include the treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, ADHD, ASD, life transitions, and grief.

  You’re capable. You’ve done the work. So why does it still feel like you’re about to be “found out”? Imposter syndrome has a way of making even the most accomplished people question themselves—minimizing success, attributing it to luck, and keeping you stuck in self-doubt. But that voice isn’t truth...it’s a pattern. And it can be unlearned. If this resonates, you’re not alone...and you don’t have to navigate it alone either.

  April is Stress Awareness Month. Stress is the body’s natural response to pressure or perceived threats—whether physical, emotional, or mental. In small doses, it can help you stay alert and focused. But when it becomes constant, it can impact your mood, sleep, relationships, and overall health. The goal isn’t to eliminate stress —it’s to understand it, manage it, and respond to it in a way that supports your well-being. If stress has been feeling overwhelming, you don’t have to navigate it alone. https://pvdpsych.com/ #PVDPsych   #StressAwarenessMonth   #MentalHealthMatters   #TherapyWorks   #StressManagement   #AnxietySupport   #MentalWellness   #ProvidenceRI   #RhodeIsland   #SeekSupport
