Depression
Do you fear that you, a loved one, or someone you know may be depressed? You might notice that they are not themselves, and you get the impression that they are depressed, emptied, or occasionally hopeless. It is important to remember that depression is a real illness. It affects individuals in different ways - including changes in appetite and sleeping patterns, mood swings, lack of motivation, and reduced self-esteem. As difficult as it might be to confront someone about their depression, they must know that you care and are willing to help them seek treatment. It can be incredibly difficult to watch a loved one suffer from depression. Still, if your loved one suffers from depression, it is important to remember that the individual needs your help and support no more than ever.
​
Depression treatments can be incredibly helpful for individuals with depression for several reasons. For starters, getting professional counseling from a qualified therapist can help you understand the root cause of depression. Our therapist will also help you identify any past experiences, negative thought patterns, or life events contributing to the depression.
​
You'll walk away feeling empowered with coping strategies such as relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and positive thinking, which will help you manage your depression symptoms daily. Depression can accompany negative thoughts and beliefs, such as feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness. Therapy can help you recognize and challenge these negative thoughts and replace them with more positive and realistic ways of thinking.
​
Another benefit of counseling is that it can improve relationships and communication skills. With regular therapy sessions, you can experience a reduction in depression symptoms such as low mood, loss of interest in life, and feelings of hopelessness. In their place, there will be increased feelings of well-being.
​
Addressing depression can improve mental health, such as self-esteem and confidence. The long-term benefits include acquiring skills and strategies that make it possible to manage depression even after the treatment has ended. Overall, therapy can be an incredibly effective treatment option for depression. We provide a safe space where individuals can feel supported and empowered to take their lives and live a life free from the limitations imposed by mental health challenges like depression.

Anxiety
Most people, if not everyone, experience anxiety as an emotional problem at some point in their lives. Because these feelings are a survival mechanism created by our brain to warn us of potential danger, we can likely remember experiencing anxiety from a very young age.
​
Anxiety symptoms include thoughts and feelings of stress, worry, tension, and/or fear intended to cause us to react defensively in the face of perceived danger. This reaction is commonly known as the fight-or-flight response, which can lead to physical changes such as increased heart rate, sweating, and trembling.
​
Anxiety symptoms can also include thoughts and feelings of stress, worry, tension, and/or fear intended to cause us to react defensively in the face of perceived danger. On the other hand, if your brain is constantly alerting you to be cautious in circumstances that are not dangerous, anxiety can seriously hinder your life. When symptoms significantly impair your ability to function and/or persist over time, symptoms of anxiety differ from symptoms of an anxiety disorder.
​
Anxiety can become a problem if your brain is constantly alerting you to be cautious in circumstances that are not dangerous. Anxiety can be a normal and appropriate response to stressful situations. Still, when the level of anxiety is extreme or out of proportion to the situation, it can become an anxiety disorder.
