Is Counseling Right for Me?
I can help you decide if counseling is right for you. We will explain a little of what counseling and therapy is about and I'll try to make you feel comfortable with the process. Not all therapies can be easily explained, but I will be happy to help answer any questions you may have.
The following are a few reasons people come to seek counseling from a therapist:
Children and Adolescents often have behavioral disorders such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Conduct Disorder (CD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Alcohol and Drug abuse. Each is part of our therapy practice, identifying and treating these and other disorders. Many of these areas require both medication and behavioral modification in order to help make changes in children's lives.
We also help parents reduce their own anxiety over these issues and learn ways to maintain these changes, whether the behaviors are seen in the home or at school.
Marriage Counseling, Couples Counseling and Sexuality are frequent topics that concern many, and we can help you sort through what are often difficulties in communication. We as therapist do not take sides, but rather we help couples feel comfortable and to find common ground in order to heal the relationship. We help couples change the areas where they feel "stuck" so they can create a new way of relating.
Anxiety and Depression are major reasons why people seek counseling, especially those whose lives have been torn apart by loss and grief, whether it's in the past or is happening to you right now, we are ready to help.
Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Bipolar Disorder often accompanies Depression and Anxiety.
Our proven methods of psychotherapy will help you to heal from the hurt, shame and loneliness associated with these illnesses. Life Coaching and therapists are unusual life coaches because they help people who have experienced great set backs in their lives, have poor self-esteem or often become too depressed to make changes.
Suppose you have lived with a sick parent or never graduated from school, suffer from ADHD, PTSD, OCD or Bipolar Disorder. You know that getting what you want can feel impossible. I'd like to say that I am here to help you get what you want from therapy and it's easier than you think.
