Anxiety & Depression
If you are experiencing anxiety or depression, you are not alone, even if your anxiety or depression makes you feel like you are. Anxiety and depression can feel and present differently for everyone. But generally, anxiety can leave you feeling fearful, worried, and general unease. Depression can involve feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or lack of pleasure in things you used to enjoy.
Perinatal Mental Health
Whether you have decided to start a family, are dealing with fertility challenges, are pregnant, or are struggling with parenting, this chapter of your life can be a time of joy and fulfillment, but can also be overwhelming and stressful. It is common to experience a wide range of emotions during this time, from excitement and happiness, to anxiety and exhaustion. Often it is also a time of rediscovering your identity, and trying to remember who you were before this period of your life began.
Relationship Issues
Are you feeling stuck in your current relationship? Or have you started to notice that all of your relationships seem to follow a pattern you don’t like? Whether you are dealing with issues of trust, communication, intimacy, boundaries, or other difficulties as a result of relationship challenges, therapy can help.
Identity Development
Are you ready to live a more authentic and fulfilling life, but don’t know where to begin? Have you thought about therapy, but don’t feel like there is any major “problem” that is worth going to therapy over?
Life Transitions
Life is full of transitions. Whether they are big or small, short-term or life-altering, transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain. Just because life throws you curveballs, doesn’t mean it has to knock you down.
By working collaboratively with a therapist, you can learn how to lean on your own strengths and resiliency to manage stress, utilize coping skills, and move forward in a way that leaves you feeling stronger and more confident.
College/Graduate Students/Young Professionals
If you are a college student, graduate student, or you are early in your professional career, you may be experiencing a unique set of challenges and stressors that not everyone can understand or relate to. You are taking your first leap into adulthood and independence, and that means that you are likely encountering a whole new set of stressors relating to “adulting”. From academic pressures to social/emotional concerns, it is common during this period of your life to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and unsure of who to turn to for support.
Grief & Loss
Have you experienced a recent loss? There are many different types of losses in life, including the death of a loved one, divorce or separation, the loss of a pet, or job loss. Grief is a complex and deeply personal process, and therapy can be an important tool in processing and working through your grief.
High Functioning Autism/Asperger’s
Have you ever wondered if you (or your partner) might be on the autism spectrum? Do social situations always feel a little more challenging than they should? Do you struggle while engaging in small talk, have difficulties picking up on social or nonverbal cues, engage in repetitive behaviors or routines, experience sensory sensitivities or sensory processing challenges, have narrow or intense interests, or experience difficulty with executive functioning tasks?
