Anxiety Relief
Report
Anxiety takes up a lot of space in your mind. It makes you rehearse events or conversations robbing you of your self-confidence and peace of mind. It's hard to stay focused and simply trust yourself. Anxiety feels like a car stuck in a rut, wheels spinning faster and faster, going nowhere. You worry away your precious time and energy with nothing to show for it.
Anxiety Relief Tips
Report
If you're anxious, you ARE holding onto your breath. But if you have pet you have a great breath teacher. Watch them breath. Notice how deeply your pet takes in a breath, down in their belly, nearly down to the base of their legs. Just watch and feel you own body relax and start to match the slow gentle inhale and exhale.
Depression Therapy
Report
We all have the blues sometimes. But if you have clinical depression, it's more than just a down mood or sad feeling. Major depression is not an emotion. It is a major medical disorder that affects nearly 5-10% of adults in a given year. Over a lifetime you have a 20%, or one in five, chance of having an episode of depression.
Children and Teen Therapy
Report
Most people are curious about how therapy works with children. It's very different! We use methods that are designed to make it easy for children to express and heal the challenges they face. Therapy with parents involves a lot of talking and insight. With children, play opens a door that talking alone cannot.
