Counseling for Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety

Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try?

If this sounds like you, we are confident we can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get the relief from anxiety that you deserve.

When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:

  • 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 the thing you’re worried about
  • Insomnia
  • Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder

Depression

Is your depression keeping you from being productive? Are you having a hard time getting out of the bed and making it through the day?  Are you neglecting your friends and family?  Have you lost your purpose? Do you have low self-esteem?

If this sounds like you, we can provide some relief and coping strategies.  Depression comes in many different forms and it can sometimes be genetic.  Thus, when it comes to treating depression disorders, research shows that therapy in combination with medication are usually the most effective treatment options. Therefore, our practice offers the most effective forms of talk therapy treatment to treat depression.

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:

  • Prolonged sadness or unexplained crying spells
  • Significant changes in appetite and sleep patterns
  • Irritability, anger, worry, agitation, anxiety
  • Pessimism, indifference
  • Loss of energy, persistent lethargy
  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness
  • Inability to concentrate, indecisiveness
  • Inability to take pleasure in former interests, social withdrawal
  • Unexplained aches and pains
  • Recurring thoughts of death or suicide

If you have anxiety or depression, therapy can help uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears and lack of interest and energy.  In addition you will learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

If you suffer from an anxiety or depressive disorder, we invite you to contact us today for a free consultation.
