Dr. Thacker designed and recorded the videos and worksheets included on this page. These resources are free for you to use. The intent of these resources is not to replace the careful guidance of a professional mental health practitioner. They are considered self-help materials and nothing more. Contact Dr. Thacker if you would like to pursue counseling services with her.

Awareness

Want to learn how to increase your awareness? Here's a video to walk you through what awareness is and how you can cultivate more awareness in your everyday life. The videos that follow are part of a series. Note: I recorded this before COVID-19. I have since discovered the power and effectiveness of online counseling. 

Thought & Emotion Processing

Once you have some awareness, you can work on processing your thoughts and emotions. This will foster agency around what's happening with how you respond in your life.

Codependency & Boundaries

So often, we do not know what we are ok with or we know but find it hard to tell others about our boundaries. This video walks you through some actions you can take that may help you establish your boundaries.

Self Care

We can give and give or do and do, but if we are not caring for ourselves, we will likely implode. In this video, I explain self-care and invite you to brainstorm self-care that works for you.

Community

So many of us believe we can be independent from others. The reality is, we are social beings designed to live in community with others. I describe the importance of community and give you ways to explore the roles people have, or could have, in your life.

Neural Pathways

When we change at the neural level, the change can be lasting. This video is a simple way to engage your brain to change an unwanted behavior. It's important to note that sometimes we cannot change on our own because we need the help of a professional who is trained to do neural-level change. That is where I come in. I use evidence-based approaches to help you heal and change how your brain responds to certain stimuli.
