Most people come to therapy at a time of conflict or crisis. The conflict may be with our spouse or family. Perhaps a child is acting out or the couple is considering separating. Or, the crisis may be an individual issue that has become overwhelming and it is time for a change.
Therapy certainly can help in times of crisis, but in many cases, prevention is the best medicine. Seeking therapy before problems become out of control can help defuse them. Clients can learn coping skills to help sort through issues while they are still manageable.
Most of our lives are hectic and you may think, “I don’t have time for therapy.” In reality, therapy is one of the few times where we can take a break from the craziness of our daily lives and focus on improving ourselves. This leads to a better quality of life for us and our families.
Each of us has something we could use some help with, whether it’s learning to listen better, be more assertive, or gain more confidence, and psychotherapy can help achieve those goals.
Depression, Anxiety, Trauma
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. Together, we can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Relationships
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Couples counseling sessions are a supportive place to discuss challenges and solutions to better guide your relationship.
