Your Monthly Dose of Mental Health Support

WELCOME! WHAT IS THIS?

If you are receiving this email, you are likely a client of Open Lines Counseling or you signed up for our mailing list at some point, which we have not made much use of so far!

For those not as familiar, we are a Baltimore-based psychotherapy private practice that specializes in anxiety and OCD, perinatal mental health, and alternative relationship styles. We provide individual and relationship counseling and aim to provide compassionate, high-quality, inclusive care.

In 2022, we hope to be in touch a bit more—to keep you updated on goings on at Open Lines Counseling as well as share new blog posts.

And during these heavy and uncertain times, we hope to offer you support by sharing some mental health-related resources, as well as prompts and other sources of inspiration that we think you might enjoy.

So welcome to our inaugural email newsletter!

Please feel free to unsubscribe at anytime (link at the bottom of email). We value a decluttered inbox as part of good self-care!

PRACTICE UPDATES

New office
We are excited to be putting the finishing touches on our new office space. It is located in the lovely Roland Park neighborhood at 4800 Roland Ave. Suite 301.

We are working on setting up our policies and safety procedures. If you are a client, we will let you know when and how you can schedule an in-person session!

Hiring
Open Lines Counseling is looking for talented, passionate therapists to join us. This is a great opportunity for a therapist wanting a flexible and supportive work environment and who has an interest in the practice’s niches or similar specialty areas.

If you know a therapist who might be a good fit, they can check out this link for information.

BLOG POST

Check out last month’s blog post on finding balance and resilience—as well as embracing inconsistency—in our efforts towards self-improvement.

Books
I recently read Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell and found it to be a fascinating read. The author explores the “cultish” qualities of what we think of as more traditional cults, but also fitness communities, MLMs, etc. and how language subtly influences us.

A Poem
A poem for anyone feeling discouraged and small, in a dark place, or doing the hard work of consistently and quietly working on themselves.

And most importantly, please remember…

Warmly,

Melissa Weinberg, LCPC
Psychotherapist and Owner
