Anxiety and Depression
Symptoms stemming from depressive and anxiety disorders can be debilitating. You may find that you are avoiding obligations, social situations, or previously enjoyed activities. Addressing trauma, becoming more mindful, and learning coping skills are some of the ways that therapy may be helpful in addressing these feelings. We help adults with depression and anxiety using various techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Young Adult Challenges
Mental health issues in young adults manifest differently than they do at other stages in life. Young adults face the challenge of transitioning into adulthood, facing new problems related to finding a job, paying rent, dealing with roommates, navigating the dating world, and juggling a social life with work or school. These issues may present a young adult with challenging situations that they have not yet encountered, sometimes sparking creativity and enthusiasm, and sometimes producing panic. We help young adults navigate these challenges and find ways to cope with the anxious fears that may come along with them. Learning specific skills to help manage anxiety and depression can go a long way towards being successful in navigating the challenges that come along with being a young adult, and can help make you feel more confident.
Difficulty regulating emotions
Sometimes its hard to get a handle on what we're feeling. We may feel like we cry easily, blow up because of small things, or feel anxious or scared all the time. You can learn to regulate your emotions and feel more in control of your impulses in order to get at the root of what is causing you to feel "off". A variety of techniques including mindfulness, strategies stemming from CBT and DBT, as well as evaluating your values can be useful in regulating your emotions and helping you feel more confident and secure in your ability to handle the difficult things in life.
work/life balance
Many people struggle to maintain a perfect work/life balance. Pressure to provide for a family creates the need to work more, while the demands of the workplace often demand that people stay later and later. These pressures build to the point of feeling tired, overwhelmed and out of touch with life. With the ability to work from home, disconnecting from work can be even more challenging, and it’s harder to set boundaries around work vs. personal time. We can help you manage the stresses of work with concrete skills, and learn how to set personal boundaries around work so that you can spend more time doing the things that make your life worth living.
