Social Media and Mental Health: Finding Your Balance

Social media can be both a blessing and a burden. It helps us stay connected, share ideas, and build community—but it can also contribute to anxiety, comparison, and disconnection from real life.

If you find yourself constantly scrolling, comparing your life to others’, or feeling drained after being online, you’re not alone. These platforms are designed to be addictive, and the pressure to curate a perfect life can be overwhelming.

Therapy helps you understand your relationship with social media. Are you using it to numb, avoid, or validate? We explore ways to create digital boundaries, reclaim your time, and protect your mental space.

You’ll learn to notice when comparison is creeping in, pause the scroll, and re-center on your real values. We can also explore practices like digital detoxes, mindful consumption, and finding offline ways to connect.

You don’t have to quit social media to feel better—but you may need to redefine how you use it.
