Individual Therapy

People often make the difficult decision to come to therapy when they feel defeated by the challenges of life. The approaches you may have used to improve your situation have not helped and you may not know what else to do. We help our clients navigate through trying times utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches to address th

e individual needs of each client. We offer positive, strength-based therapy, focusing on the goals each individual brings into each session. It can be difficult to remain positive during difficult times, including but not limited to:

Major life transitions
Depression
Anxiety
Relationship issues
Communication
Addiction
Social challenges
Career changes
And much more...

The role of Cornerstone Marriage & Family Therapy is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can uncover hidden strengths you possess, explore new solutions and provide the support needed to move forward in life. Couple Therapy

Building a loving, trusting relationship takes a lifetime of effort. When two individuals join to become a couple they each bring their own set of beliefs and family traditions which must be blended to become a new family unit. Transitions can be challenging and these challenges may surface in the beginning or years down the road. A successful couple is one able to communicate without attacking their partner even in the midst of disagreement or negotiation. At Cornerstone Marriage & Family Therapy we strive not only to help uncover solutions to your difficulties, but more importantly, to provide you with the building blocks for the future of your relationship. If you feel stuck we will work with you to become unstuck. Together we can build strong communication skills to resolve misunderstandings which often lead to deep hurt. Where there is mistrust, we will help you rebuild trust. Where there is a lack of intimacy, we will work with you to reignite the spark from which intimacy flows. Lasting change does not happen overnight but our brief, strength-focused approach will provide you with a safe, therapeutic space where you will each be heard and understood in an atmosphere where you will feel comfortable expressing your deepest needs and concerns. Family Therapy

Interaction between members of your family is a complex phenomenon which is often entangled in misunderstanding and poor communication. There are a myriad of issues facing families today:
Is you teenager unresponsive? Is your family upset by marital discord? Does one member of the family seem to hold all of the power in your household? Do you feel that your family is out of control? Has alcohol or substance abuse affected your family? Are you trying to find normalcy in the midst of your separation or divorce? Is your blended family having difficulty adjusting to the new family composition? Is the presence of a disability causing stress in your family? Are your children or teenagers having behavior issues at home or in school? Have you lost a loved one and are unsure of how to deal with everyone’s grief? Let the therapists of Cornerstone Marriage & Family Therapy help your family get back on track toward a brighter future together. The Systemic approach of Family Therapy assures that each individual in your family is heard and understood, and that their needs are integrated into the family schema. Everyone wins in family therapy!

Let Them Theory! So liberating!

Let Them Theory! So liberating!

02/09/2025

LET THEM

Let them argue
let them fight
let them think
they are right

let them gossip
let them rage
let them build
themselves a cage

let them judge
let them talk
let them walk
the way they walk

let them laugh
behind your back
they cannot push you
from your track

let them steal
each other’s joy
let them silence
virtue’s voice

let them wrestle
for the throne
let them pick flesh
from their bones

but of all
you let them do
do not let them
alter you

keep your focus
on the sky
and all the beauty
you pass by

stay within
your well-built walls
and answer only
worthy calls

let them lie
if they must
it’s yourself
you need to trust.

Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

This needs to be shared, needs to be read, and most importantly heard.

Sertraline- Zoloft
Venlafaxine- Effexor
Citalopram- Celexa
Mirtazapine-Remeron
Fluoxetine- Prozac
Duloxetine- Cymbalta
Seroquel- Quetiapine
Lamictal- Lamotrigine
Lexapro- Escitalopram
Wellbutrin- Bupropion
Lorazepam- Ativan
Klonopin- Clonazepam
Abilify - aripiprazole
Tegrotal - carabamezipine
Buspar - buspirone

You may know what these tablets are or know a loved one who takes them, but in case you don't, I will fill you in. That medication allows people to deal with a normal day to day life. Although most days it leaves them tired, spaced out, emotionless, or even super emotional.

Crazy right? Why would anyone want to feel like that?

Well this is why!!

You see, some people suffer from severe depression and anxiety.
In their brain it doesn't sit right, something seems different. They notice little differences that other people wouldn't. Most days they wake up sick and feel sleepless.

They consistently overthink every situation.
Was a comment about them; was it a joke?
Was that person supposed to laugh?
Or did they mean it?
Are they being nice?
Are they talking about them?
Do they talk about them?
They then think, I bet they don’t like me really.

They say sorry all the time. They feel like they annoy everyone.
And for all those questions they will spend hours trying to answer. Let it all build up in their mind, until it sends them to tears...... it's mental that they see things that way.

It's not only mental changes, but physical changes. They don't eat a lot or they eat way too much. Insomnia, up all night answering questions to situations that don't even exist, or sleep too much and waste half their day still feeling tired.

They still smile and they have every excuse for when you ask why.
But the tablets can help them. Because they know when they start to feel this way or think this way, they need help.

They know that when their behavior starts to change, They need guidance. And they understand that they don't need to be ashamed. They don't need to be understood. They just need to be accepted. Everyone is fighting a battle and sometimes you need to be kinder.

So I may just be another person who's talking about mental health....

Living with this illness is hard, but trying to understand it, is even harder. It’s also 100 times harder if they have another condition on top of this.

Don't suffer in silence.

Mental health is just as important as physical health.

Be part of the healing.💙
Be understanding.💙
Be kind. 💙

💙 Copied and pasted.💙

Sometimes don’t even try to understand, just simply love that person, support them, and be there when they need you. Some people in my life have truly mastered this, and for you I will forever be grateful!
