Viveros and Associates, PLLC

Trust, commitment, and respect are essential qualities of a healthy relationship but how can we be sure that a romantic partner brings these traits to ours? Start by looking for these indicators.

Have you heard of the acronym ATTUNE? Don’t miss out on this essential concept from Dr. John Gottman. ATTUNE is especially helpful during conflict conversations, where staying connected to your partner can be challenging.

Dr. Gottman developed this acronym to help you remember how to stay attuned to each other and feel more loved and connected. Learn more in the Marriage Minute newsletter here: https://bit.ly/3wNlbyC

Drugs may ease the symptoms but they are not the cure.

"Therapy is the cornerstone of what we try to get kids into." Dr. Stephanie Kennebeck, a pediatric emergency room doctor at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital

This Teen Was Prescribed 10 Psychiatric Drugs. She’s Not Alone. Increasingly, anxious and depressed teens are using multiple, powerful psychiatric drugs, many of them untested in adolescents or for use in tandem.

Sometimes people won’t realize what they’ve lost until you’re gone💔

Keep your intentions pure, and don’t allow other people’s actions to turn you into someone you don’t want to be.

In the words of Wayne Dyer, “How people treat you is their karma. How you react is yours.”

(If it’s always draining you, it's not for you. Remember that.-unknown)

Be comfortable in your own skin.
Know who you are.
Understand deeply that what people do is never a reflection of you and is always their perception of life.
You are not for everyone and they are not always for you.
When you are not included, invited, or considered, whisper to yourself,
“Thank you for the space necessary in my life for the people that matter most to me. I am blessed.” 💚

(Gentle reminder: you are not for everyone- and that is a blessing. - Alex Elle)

For over 38 years I have studied and practiced meditation and mindfulness with many of the greatest teachers.

One of my most profound teachers Thich Nhat Hanh changed my life in the practice and understanding of present moment living.

I went on silent retreats with him and during our walking meditations his instruction to us was this:

“Be where your feet are.” 👣

Simple but transformational. ♥️

I share this with the hope that you will stop when you start to feel anxious, take some deep breaths, and come back to the present moment where your feet are.

It’s not at all easy to remember this, but just give it a try when you can.

I believe we are here to forgive ourselves daily, believe in the beauty of the life we want to live, and allow this present moment living to create our future.

You are an extraordinary human being.
I love you. 🖤

(Closure happens right after you accept that letting go and moving on is more important than projecting a fantasy of how a relationship could have been.-Sylvester McNutt)

Today is a historical day for su***de prevention and mental health in the U.S.! The National Su***de Prevention Lifeline, now known as the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, can be more easily reached by calling or texting 988, or chatting on 988lifeline.org.

988 serves as a universal entry point so that no matter where you live in the U.S., you can easily access 24/7 emotional support. You do not have to be suicidal to reach out. Our trained crisis counselors can help you through whatever mental health challenges you are experiencing.

We're so grateful to SAMHSA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Communications Commission, and our other su***de prevention and mental health partners in the field for working together to get us here, and we look forward to growing and expanding our services and supports in the years to come.
