Depression
Depression isn’t just about being sad or feeling down. It’s a serious condition that impacts the way you feel, think, and act. The symptoms of depression range from being fully functional day-to-day to a complete inability to get out of bed and everything in between. We’re here to tell you that we care and with treatment, life will get better. If you or a loved one is suffering from depression please reach out.
Anxiety
Anxiety is your mind’s natural defense mechanism against potentially harmful or dangerous situation. Some of us have more active anxiety responses than others causing debilitating effects like panic, stomach churning, over-active thoughts, insomnia among other things. We want you to know that we’re here for you and we can help you master your anxiety through treatment.
Trauma
Trauma is not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. It can manifest from many places including but not limited to physical or sexual abuse, neglect, rape, violence, war, natural disasters, etc. Traumatic events change your life and it’s important to understand how you’ve been effected. We understand the complexity of trauma, and will work with you to process this in a safe space.
Stress
Stress is an overwhelming emotional pressure that can be difficult to cope with. It’s not just mental; stress also causes physiological responses in your body by inducing the release of “stress” hormones that also take their toll. It can be caused by things like work, family, or life changes. We listen to your stresses and provide a healthy outlet for releasing your emotions.
Women's Health
Women face mental health issues related to challenges unique to our gender. Challenges like gender stereotyping, motherhood, trauma, abuse, among many other events may cause depression, anxiety, eating disorders, mood disorders, and low self esteem/worth for women. We focus on women’s health, including prenatal/postpartum depression, anxiety, and life transitions. As a female led practice, we know the issues you face, and we are here to help
Men's Health
Men’s health issues encompass a range of concerns that may be influenced by societal expectations, gender roles, and unique life stressors faced by men. Challenges include emotional suppression, difficulty in expressing vulnerability, and struggles with identity or masculinity. We utilize an integrative approach to break down barriers, facilitate open communication, and empower men to understand their emotional and psychological needs.
ADHD
Individuals with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often face challenges in regulating attention, controlling impulses, and organizing tasks. To address these issues, we employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, focusing on skill-building, behavioral interventions, and coping strategies. Additionally, psychoeducation and structured guidance can empower individuals to understand and manage their symptoms effectively.
