Adjustment Disorders
Do you struggle to cope with stress or change?
Adjustment disorders can leave you feeling anxious, sad, hopeless, and irritable. They cause you to struggle to find joy in activities you previously enjoyed. Therapy can help you understand your emotions, process change, and develop coping skills so you can start living a more fulfilled life.
Anger Management
Do you experience intense anger or have difficulties controlling your temper through everyday issues?
Anger is a normal human emotion. However, if your temper is leading to conflicts in your relationships, problems at work, or even legal issues, you may benefit from support. Therapy sessions offer a safe and supportive environment to understand the root causes of anger and to start developing healthy coping strategies. Regain control of your temper and life.
Anxiety
Is anxiety keeping you from living the life you want?
Anxiety symptoms can feel like excessive worry, dread, or fear. It can cause muscle tension, sweating, and trouble sleeping and is often associated with a sense of disconnection from things you once enjoyed. Therapy can help you manage your anxiety and panic attacks with the right tools, coping skills, and support you need to better understand and deal with your feelings. We can help you gain control and feel relief so you can get back to living your life.
Chronic Pain Or Illness
Have you found it difficult to adjust to life due to chronic pain or illness?
Chronic pain or being diagnosed with a chronic illness can impact the way in which you live your day-to-day life. It may require you to create new habits, prevent you from doing activities you previously loved, or cause you to experience guilt as a result of needing additional support from people around you. Therapy can help you navigate the changes you experience as a result of pain or illness. We can help you navigate challenges so you can start feeling better and enjoying life again.
Communication & Boundary Setting
Does saying no make you uncomfortable or lead to ruminating thoughts?
Setting boundaries in your personal and professional lives can be challenging and overwhelming. It can feel uncomfortable to say ‘no’ or to establish limits with others. This is particularly common if you tend to avoid conflict and have people-pleasing tendencies. When you fail to set boundaries, you are prioritizing the needs of others rather than yourself. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm, resentment, and a deep sense that you are being taken advantage of.
Boundaries are an important part of any healthy relationship, be it with yourself or others. Licensed therapists can help you learn to set boundaries in a way you feel confident about. Together, we can explore the root causes of why it is difficult to set boundaries and develop skills and strategies to set healthy boundaries in the future during our therapy sessions. Learn to say ‘no’ with confidence.
Depression
Have you lost some or all of the joy you used to experience?
Depression symptoms can manifest as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of energy or interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Physical symptoms can include changes in appetite, fatigue, and trouble sleeping. Emotionally, depression can leave you feeling isolated and alone. Therapy can be helpful in treating depression and other mental health issues by providing support, understanding, and coping strategies. Therapy can help you experience improved mood, increased motivation, and a greater sense of hope and well-being.
We also offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with our licensed therapists to help with the negative thoughts and behaviors attributed to depression.
Grief & Loss
Are you struggling to move forward after a loss or finding that your grief can feel like too much to handle on your own?
Grief and loss can be overwhelming and can bring up a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion. It’s common to feel isolated and disconnected from the people around you. Therapy can help you manage those feelings and work through them in a safe environment. You can explore why you feel the way you do, develop healthier coping skills, and ultimately take the steps to move forward at a pace that works for you. You don’t have to face your pain alone; we can help.
Infertility
The stress and uncertainty of trying to conceive and undergoing fertility treatments are profoundly triggering. Our emotions can take us on a ride: we feel things such as fear, sadness, regret, anger, jealousy, and frustration cycling through us. Social events, public places, and even our workplaces can become full of triggers, as other people’s pregnancies and babies seem omnipresent.
When we work with clients experiencing infertility, we emphasize effective coping strategies, emotional management, and helping clients navigate the myriad of treatment and medical decisions that are sometimes involved. We work with all types of prospective parents, including single parents-to-be, same-sex couples, adoptive parents, and people who are experiencing secondary infertility (difficulty conceiving the second child). We are here to support you as you navigate the emotions and thoughts resulting from infertility.
Narcissistic Abuse
Have you experienced belittlement, constant criticism, gaslighting, or emotional coercion by a partner, family member, colleague, friend, or acquaintance?
Narcissists can have a lasting impact on your self-esteem, confidence, and mental health. The trauma can result in depression, anxiety, isolation, and fear. Narcissistic abuse counseling can be helpful in validating your experiences, identifying the patterns of abuse you’ve experienced, processing trauma, developing healthy boundaries, and being a resource for rebuilding your self-esteem.
Perfectionism
Do you have very high expectations of yourself and constantly reach for flawlessness? Are these standards accompanied by critical self-evaluation and constant concern for how you will be perceived by others?
Setting unrealistic standards and aiming for perfection can be exhausting and overwhelming. It can impact your self-esteem and result in anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even burnout.
Therapy can help you gain control of your perfectionistic tendencies so you can embrace imperfection, set more realistic standards, and increase self-compassion through everyday issues.
Physical, Emotional, Or Sexual Abuse
Has your experience with abuse kept you from living with any type of normalcy?
The effects of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse can be devastating and far-reaching. Victims of this type of trauma often experience feelings of guilt, shame, depression, anger, fear, isolation, and other mental health issues. They may also have difficulty trusting others or forming intimate relationships. All these challenges can make it difficult to cope with life’s everyday issues.
Therapy sessions can be a powerful tool for helping you heal from abuse. We can provide a safe space for you to process difficult emotions and experiences, and we can help create strategies for managing anxiety, developing self-esteem, and forming healthier relationships. When you’re ready to take the first step towards healing – we can help.
Postpartum Anxiety
Are you a new mother or parent experiencing excessive worry or fear after having a child?
Although some level of anxiety is normal after having a child, some people develop a more extreme level of anxiety called postpartum anxiety. Postpartum anxiety is not as widely recognized as postpartum depression, despite being equally common.
You might be wondering, “If some level of anxiety is normal, how do I know if my anxiety is actually a problem?” The line that divides normal amounts of worry from a level at which you may need support differs per person. You may benefit from therapy for postpartum anxiety if you are experiencing: constant worry or a deep feeling that something bad is going to happen; if your anxiety is impairing your appetite or sleep habits; if you experience racing or ruminating thoughts that you can’t get a hold of; or if you’re feeling physical symptoms such as nausea and faintness.
Therapy is a valuable tool for individuals experiencing postpartum anxiety. In therapy, the goal is to listen to you so you feel validated in your feelings and thoughts. Additionally, therapy can provide effective coping skills, a deeper level of understanding, and a space to work through feelings.
Postpartum Depression
Are you experiencing persistent sadness, guilt, or struggling to bond with your baby?
For many new moms, adapting to motherhood can be difficult. It’s not uncommon to face unexpected challenges as you develop a new routine. With postpartum depression, you may experience low mood, excessive crying or tearfulness, feelings of guilt or worthlessness as a new mom, difficulties in bonding with your baby, irritability, anger, or loneliness.
Postpartum depression can be experienced within the first few months of giving birth, but may also develop over a longer period of time. It’s often described as a longer-lasting and more severe form of the “baby blues”. There are many reasons individuals experience postpartum depression, including changes in hormones, sleep deprivation, emotional changes resulting from new routines and interpersonal dynamics, a history of other mental health issues, and environmental factors such as a lack of social support, finances, and complications experienced during pregnancy.
Licensed therapists can help you adjust to all the feelings you are experiencing as a new mom by providing emotional support, guidance, and coping strategies. You don’t have to adjust to motherhood alone. We are here to support you!
Pregnancy Loss
Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions as a result of pregnancy loss?
An unexpected loss during pregnancy can lead to significant physical and intense emotional pain. You may be experiencing feelings of sadness, grief, anger, anxiety, helplessness, and loneliness. These feelings can impair your ability to function day-to-day.
For some people, social circles, including partners, family members, and friends, provide the support they need to work through their feelings. Other people may benefit from seeking additional support through therapy. Therapy offers a safe space to process emotions and develop strategies to help you move forward. If you’re looking for a space to feel validated in your experience and to work through your emotions, we are here to help.
Relationship Issues
Are you struggling to reconnect or build a stronger relationship?
Relationships can be complicated and sometimes leave us feeling lost and alone. You may be struggling with communication difficulties, trust issues, conflicts, or feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner. These challenges can impact your daily life, causing feelings of sadness, frustration, and anxiety.
Therapy can offer you a supportive and safe space to work through your challenges, develop healthy communication skills, build trust, and address conflicts in a constructive manner. Therapy can help you set healthy boundaries and offer the tools and support you need to create the connection you crave.
Social Anxiety
Do you experience fear or self-consciousness in social situations?
Social anxiety can cause you to worry excessively about being scrutinized by others and may lead you to avoid social situations altogether. It can leave you feeling nervous, self-conscious, and embarrassed, even in non threatening situations. Therapy for social anxiety can help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to social anxiety. We can help you develop a more positive and confident self-image.
Stress Management
Do you feel like there’s no end in sight to the list of things you need to manage or accomplish in the day—at home and at work?
Overwhelming stress can bring up a range of emotions, including anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion. It’s common to start to shut down and feel disconnected from the people around you. Therapy can help you explore why you feel the way you do, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and give you the tools you need to manage your current situation and start living with more ease. We can help you make changes, one step at a time.
Trauma - PTSD
Is a past event in your life keeping you from moving forward?
Trauma can cause symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance behaviors, hypervigilance, feelings of anxiety, guilt, or shame, and other mental health issues . Emotional and physical responses to trauma can impact daily life and relationships. Therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, can help individuals who have experienced trauma process their experiences and develop healthy coping mechanisms. With therapy, you may experience a greater sense of control, improved relationships, a stronger sense of self-worth, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.
Workplace Issues & Career Challenges
Is the greatest source of your stress coming from outside the home?
Workplace issues and career challenges can bring up a range of emotions, including stress, fear, exhaustion, and overwhelm. Feeling stuck in your job, experiencing workplace harassment, a lack of fulfillment, or a transition to a new role or career can take a toll on your mental health. It’s not uncommon to feel like there is no one to turn to for help in addressing difficult bosses, finding purpose in your work, or figuring out if a career move is the right one for you.
Therapy can provide the support you need to navigate these challenges. We can help you find greater balance in your life, recognize your personal strengths, and gain clarity on how to best address difficult situations you might be facing.
