Psychotherapy
The process of understanding oneself is a life-long journey. Anyone can have unresolved issues that can re-emerge through life and create a repeating cycle of problems as you attempt to resolve the issues. This repeating cycle can create damage in your life and to others that you may not be fully aware of until well after the fact. Psychotherapy can help you to become more aware of what role your own actions, thoughts and expectations play in the pattern of life.
It is not uncommon for people to find themselves being angry, hurt, disappointed or depressed. You may turn to relationships that don’t work, choose the wrong people to depend on, lose trust in others or even avoid turn to drugs and alcohol as a way to avoid the problems. When issues seem repetitive, psychotherapy with a professional therapist can offer the depth and perspective needed to change your life direction and self-defeating behaviors. Psychotherapy can help you end the long-term repeating cycles of that seem to damage life over and over.
Working with one of our trained therapist can help you to learn to identify the repeating self-defeating patterns of your life and effectively handle the emotions that prevent you from getting what you want in life. Our licensed professional counselors offer confidential and supportive therapy that can help bring healing and a new perspective to help you make better choices to improve you life now and in the future. Healing may take time but the investment can provide meaningful and purposeful life change.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, anger, or feelings of low-esteem have been treated effectively with cognitive-behavioral interventions. Several of our therapists are trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy techniques to help you identify and change negative patterns of thoughts that lead mood disorders.
In depression and anxiety disorders, research has shown that certain patterns thoughts are deeply connected to negative feelings. Throughout life, we develop automatic patterns of thoughts and create assumptions that affect our world view, expectations and ultimately our feelings about ourselves. Many times automatic-thought patterns become distorted or skewed to the negative. These imbalances can lead to mood disorders such as depression or anxiety.
Most people are not even aware of their own automatic thought patterns. Most thoughts so quickly that it can be difficult to register them. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy seeks to help you identify problematic thoughts patterns and assumptions. A therapist works to help correct the inaccurate self-talk that negatively affects life perceptions and mood. When problematic thoughts are identified, you learn to re-frame the assumption with a more realistic and balanced view of the situation. With practice, you eventually learn to change the negative patterns that prevent you from enjoying the most from life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has years of study and research to support it as an effective treatment, especially for anxiety, panic, phobias and depression.
Life Coaching
In everyone's life there are times when we need a little help or coaching to get through transitional and developmental periods. During times of life change people often feel increased emotional stress that can lead to temporary anxiety and a low mood. Most life transitions feel unstable, even positive life change can be stressful. However, these are the times that provide the greatest opportunity for personal growth. An objective professional therapist can assist you to identify your strengths to successful navigate the transition.
