Happy New Year everyone!

I am excited to be the new Mental Health Editor for BellaOnline.

I hope you enjoyed the last two articles that covered some of the emotional reactions that may surface around the holidays as well as the pitfalls of the always popular weight loss New Year's Resolution.

Since it is a new year, I thought I would start with the basics of therapy....

Therapy Basics
When therapy is recommended some people believe they don't need it or they can handle their own problems. This article covers the basic definition of therapy, the benefits, and knowing when you may need it.
