Anxiety
Are you afraid to live the life you envision because anxiety is getting in your way? Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?
- Nervousness, restlessness or being tense
- Feelings of danger, panic or dread
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Trembling or muscle twitching
- Weakness or lethargy
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than what you’re worried about
- Insomnia
- Obsessions
- Intrusive thoughts about a past traumatic life event or experience
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is a highly effective option because unlike medication, therapy treats more than just symptoms to the problem.
Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
Depression & Mood Disorders
Depression is a mood disorder affecting more than 18 million adults in any given year*. While depression is most often associated with extreme sadness, depression manifests in other ways including:
- Feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness
- Negative self-talk
- A sense of isolation
- Depressed mood, or just feeling down
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Less interest or pleasure in activities you’ve always enjoyed
- Loss of energy
- Fatigue
- Moving and/or thinking more slowly than usual
- Difficulty concentrating
- Thoughts of death or suicide
Depression has been linked to genetics, life stressors, trauma, seasonal changes, and childbirth, as in post-partum depression. In some people, depressed moods may be followed by feelings of elation and euphoria, as with bipolar disorder.
