Who We Serve
We have counselors who work with individuals, couples, adolescents, as well as families. We're happy to match you with a professional therapist who suits your personalized mental health needs.
Depression
Unfortunately, due to many outside sources like the pandemic lockdowns and economic struggles, depression is on the rise in this country. One of the biggest hurdles in the battle of depression for most people is the feeling of being all alone, the sense that you cannot talk about how bad you feel, and you have to fight this battle all alone. For many, this hurdle alone keeps them suffering for a long time.
You do not have to face depression alone. Depression often starts from a situational issue that, once it appears, takes on a life of its own, while a chemical imbalance causes other cases of depression in the brain. Our expertly trained counselors will take the time needed to listen to you, help you understand that you are not alone in this, and evaluate the very best treatment method for your depression.
Stress
According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, and suicide. Recent statistics show that over 75 percent of doctors’ office visits are for stress-related conditions.
Stress is also closely related to depression, anxiety, anger, inability to sleep well, problems with memory and motivation, as well as a host of other related issues that can cause havoc in your everyday life and the quality of living.
By pinpointing the fundamental causes of stress and developing successful coping skills, we can help you return to a life of comfort and joy and have a much higher quality of life.
Relationship Issues
Our relationships with others, whether romantic or parent-child relationships, can be some of the most enriching, life-affirming involvements in our lives. However, when they are riddled with dysfunction and struggle, they can cause us untold amounts of stress and worry, often becoming a large cause of depression and emotional pain.
Working with one of our highly trained counselors, you will be able to pinpoint the major areas of conflict and define healthy pathways to conflict resolution, which can be applied in many situations with those we love. This will allow an overall reduction in stress and more open communication based on trust and understanding.
Personality/Mood Disorders
In some cases, some of us learn ineffective coping skills that become part of our overall personality because of early dysfunction in childhood. Though these coping skills may have been the only way we could deal with our family of origin growing up, when we go out into the world and continue to run into difficult people, others who lie to us and betray us, poor communication from others and find ourselves in constant turmoil, we may need to take a closer look at our own contributions to this seemingly never-ending parade of problems.
Personality or mood disorders occur when these early childhood coping mechanisms become second nature and begin the operational stance of our interactions with life and other people. With gentle, loving care, we can start to explore the hidden beliefs underneath these dysfunctional coping skills and help you live a more honest and authentic life.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are often developed as a distraction in relation to a childhood situation that feels out of our control. Being entirely at the mercy of others’ whims and never feeling like one has any room to be who they are unless they are absolutely perfect can lead to a number of eating disorders.
Whether it massive weight gain to fend off future advances from sexual predators or getting lost in the cycle of binging and purging to maintain a thin physique, eating disorders can take a huge toll not only emotionally but physically as well.
We offer heartfelt, nonjudgmental treatment from expert counselors who have training in this area and have been personally affected by eating disorders themselves.
Substance Abuse Disorder
Substance abuse disorder is one of the leading causes of death in our country, and the rates have been growing dramatically in the last year. The opioid crisis has been a hot topic on the minds of the public as well as government officials. It is still a problem with too many physicians not understating the highly addictive nature of most pain medication.
The so-called war on drugs has been an adjunct failure as illegal narcotics’ availability continues to grow. Drug addiction can affect anyone across all races and sociological groups. It is not an issue of willpower or ‘just saying no.’ Drug addiction is a degenerative brain disorder that alters the brain’s chemical function making the ability to stop without outside help almost impossible.
Through loving acceptance and open communication, we will help you uncover the emotional issues that always lay underneath the addiction. Once they are healed, the addiction can and will subside, allowing you to rebuild a happy and fulfilling life.
