Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Report
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment. CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person's cognitive perception of events - rather than the events themselves - that determines how he or she will feel and act in response. Therapy can help you change your beliefs and cognitions, thus freeing you from a perspective that undermines your self-confidence and happiness.

Family Counseling
Report
Family therapy addresses unhealthy patterns of communication in a family. An acting-out child, teen or young adult can be the symptom of this unhealthy family dynamic. The young person is seen as the "identified patient" who brings the family to therapy so that the family can become healthier and happier.
Social Anxiety Disorder Counseling
Report
Are you always worried about making mistakes, looking bad or being embarrassed in front of others? If you answered yes to any of the above, you may have social anxiety. While it is normal to feel nervous in some social situations, people who experience daily social anxiety tend to avoid everyday interactions that cause them significant fear, anxiety, self-consciousness, and embarrassment because they fear being scrutinized or judged by others.
Books

Since 1987, the number of American children diagnosed with ADHD has jumped from 3 to 11 percent. Meanwhile, ADHD rates remain relatively low in other countries.
