What Can Psychotherapy Help With?
Stress and Anxiety.
Become that zen person you never thought you could be. If you struggle with overwhelm, panic attacks, social anxiety, or some other form of stress and anxiety, you know how awful it feels and how much it can hold you back from living a life you love. Counseling therapy is a great way get the tools you need to find the inner peace you long for.
Trauma.
Reclaim your peace of mind. Trauma can impact your well being, even if you are not aware that it is. It does not matter if you experienced one traumatic event or many, if it was recent or buried in your past, you can heal. Counseling therapy is a great way to make peace with your past, so that you can have peace of mind.
Self-Esteem.
The way you feel about yourself affects everything you do from the way you walk into a room, to your mental health, to the jobs you go for and the relationships you are in. We aren’t just talking about the way you feel about your appearance either. Self-esteem is about how you talk to yourself about yourself. Your self-esteem has a substantial impact on your life. Counseling therapy can help improve the relationship you have with yourself, so that all of the other areas in your life can improve as well.
Depression.
Find that spark of joy again. Depression is not just feeling sad. It robs you of energy, motivation, and the ability to feel pleasure. At times, it can make it hard to feel anything at all. Sometimes, you know why you are depressed and sometimes you don’t. Either way, counseling therapy can help you find the tools you need to overcome depression and feel like your best self.
Relationships.
Have the loving and fulfilling relationships that you want. Unsure if this relationship is going to work out? Wondering why the same thing keeps happening in all of your relationships? Feel like you are getting taken advantage of in your relationships? Whether it is the relationship with a romantic partner, friends, family or coworkers, relationships can be stressful. Counseling therapy can give you the tools you need to thrive in all of your relationships.
Loss.
Heal your heart. Loss comes in many different shapes and sizes. You can experience grief after a break up, loss of a job, a pandemic or the death of a loved one. Each loss comes with its own pain. Counseling therapy can help you move through your grief in healthy ways.
Chronic Pain.
Free yourself from the shackles of chronic pain. When you suffer from chronic pain it takes a toll on every part of your life. Your brain is a powerful participant in your pain. Counseling therapy can help you manage the pain better and improve your quality of life, even with the pain. Learn to train your mind to manage the pain and get back the parts of your life you were missing.
Insomnia.
Catch those elusive zzzzs. Have you found yourself tossing and turning at night, frustrated because you can’t get a good night’s sleep? Do you find yourself lying awake for hours stressed out that you will not be rested and have enough energy to do everything you need to do the next day? You may be surprised to know that counseling therapy can help with that, too!
Can therapy really help me?
“I have had the pleasure and privilege of guiding many people who feel the way you do to become the heroes of their life story. They became empowered to overcome their problems and enjoy the life they have worked so hard for. Many of my clients have been able to revise the way they see all aspects of their life story and have even been able to see the most painful events of their life, as opportunities for growth and strength. They are no longer held prisoner to their emotions or past problematic patterns of thinking and behaving. Although, they are unable to change the events of their past, they are able to narrate their life story so they are the hero instead of the victim and they can create that happily ever after ending they have been looking for.”

Believe it or not, the way you feel is not because your friend did not acknowledge you. The way you feel is due to the thought you had about it. It is not the situation that causes you to feel an emotion, but your perception or the meaning you assign to it.
