Testimonials
We Specialize In
Trauma Therapy
Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches. After experiencing a trauma event, people can develop Acute Stress Disorder (ASD), which is a response to a traumatic event that occurs within one month of the event.
When symptoms persist for more than one month, people may develop PTSD, which can cause some people to have difficulty moving on with their lives. We can work through these challenges and improve people’s overall mental and emotional well-being.
Anxiety Treatment
People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. They may avoid certain situations out of worry. They may also have physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, dizziness, or a rapid heartbeat.
Anxiety disorders include Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Specific Phobias, Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety, and Separation. Anxiety can interfere with a person’s ability to do the things they most want in life.
Fortunately, there are effective therapeutic interventions that can greatly help reduce and improve the ability to deal with anxiety.
Depression Treatment
People with depression may also experience an inability to concentrate, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.
Depression can affect people more that we might think. However, there are effective therapies that can greatly help reduce or eliminate depression.
Mood Issues and Regulation
Our therapy practice offers strategies to manage depression, impulsiveness, stress, anger, and low self-esteem to help individuals navigate their daily lives with greater ease and confidence.
We provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment to work through these challenges. Symptom reduction and healing are possible.
Couples Therapy
Our therapy practice provides couples therapy to help improve communication, resolve conflict, connectedness, creating a shared sense of meaning, and build healthy relationships.
The goals of couples therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the relationship context.
Couples may experience various pressures and other external factors that affect their relationships. Fortunately, effective therapeutic interventions can help repair and improve these barriers.
