Happy New year!
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I hope that everyone had a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday break. For my family, it was a time filled with fun and (copious amounts of) food. It is always a little jarring to be thrust back into the reality that is January 2nd. Add some snow, frigid temperatures, and a 5am wake-up call from school to the mix and it’s enough to make us all want to go...

Reflections on 2017
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
The holiday season provides a great time to reflect on the past year. In my therapy practice, my clients begin every session recounting the highs and lows of their week. It is a simple way to take a few moments to appreciate what went well and any challenges that provide opportunities for growth. So, imagine the wealth of self-reflection that can be achieved...

Super Six: Holidays edition
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Ho Ho Ho! Ready for the Holiday Super Six? Anyone else in “Present Panic Mode” like I am?
While online shopping offers many conveniences, the sheer volume of options has me paralyzed, overwhelmed, and unable to get past “add to cart”. I have a tendency to second guess and I worry that what I see on my computer might not be as awesome in person....
