A little late into January It’s Complicated looks back on another intense year. Despite the dreary backdrop of winter, wrapping up feels hopeful, and last year’s learnings will focus our efforts in 2023 to create a thriving community of care and support for therapists and therapy-seekers alike.
The therapists listed on It’s Complicated are trained in many different modalities and have experience with all sorts of conditions. One of the lesser known specialties is bruxism, or what is commonly referred to as teeth grinding or clenching, which clinical psychologist Dr. Damla Yildirim has written an informative article about.
