Blogging is a way to share your voice with the world, one post at a time.

Dr. Schild's PSYCHOLOGY BLOG

Welcome to my psychology blog. As a licensed clinical psychologist, EMDRIA-certified EMDR clinician and consultant, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP), I am deeply committed to trauma-informed care and to supporting individuals in cultivating resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful change.


In this space, you will find thoughtful articles on psychology, mental health, and overall wellbeing — including topics such as anxiety, trauma, relationships, identity, and personal growth. I also share reflections on meaningful quotes and regularly highlight important days in history that intersect with mental health, social justice, identity, and community. Honoring these historical milestones allows us to recognize the psychological impact of culture, advocacy, representation, and collective resilience.

I believe that knowledge is empowering. My goal is to offer accessible, evidence-based insights that foster reflection, awareness, and compassion — both for ourselves and for others. Whether you are exploring therapy, looking for practical coping strategies, or simply seeking thoughtful perspectives, I hope this blog serves as a supportive and inspiring resource.


Thank you for being here. I look forward to continuing this conversation and sharing more with you.
