What We Treat

We are able to work with a wide range of symptoms and behaviors.
This is not an exhaustive list of what we treat but we hope it helps you to determine if we might be the right fit for you.

Depression

Depression is a serious illness and it is more than just a feeling of being down or sad. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that “an estimated 21.0 million adults in the United States had at least one major depressive episode. This number represented 8.4% of all U.S. adults.” The number of people in the United States that experienced a major depressive episode in 2020 was 14.8 million. That’s 6% of our adult population. For adolescents, that number is even higher at 4.1 million between the ages of 12 to 17 experienced a major depressive episode. This is roughly 17% of our population. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) defines depression as a “period of at least two weeks when a person experienced a depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities, and had a majority of specified symptoms, such as problems with sleep, eating, energy, concentration, or self-worth.”

Anxiety

Anxiety can be a debilitating and life changing experience. The American Psychological Association defines anxiety as “an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure.” Anxiety is more than just a feeling of “being nervous.” There are interventions that can help you to reduce the amount of time that you spend worrying about different things, on edge, or carrying this feeling of impending doom. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that “an estimated 19.1% of U.S. adults had any anxiety disorder in the past year with “31.1% of U.S. adults experiencing any anxiety disorder at some time in their lives.”

Bipolar

Bipolar can be a debilitating illness due to the symptoms you experience as well as the stigma that has kept many from seeking help. Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings that last for days or weeks at a time. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that “There are three types of bipolar disorder. All three types involve clear changes in mood, energy, and activity levels. These moods range from periods of extremely “up,” elated, irritable, or energized behavior (known as manic episodes) to very “down,” sad, indifferent, or hopeless periods (known as depressive episodes).” “An estimated 2.8% of U.S. adults had bipolar disorder in the past year” and “an estimated 4.4% of U.S. adults experience bipolar disorder at some time in their lives.

Schizophrenia

Despite the low numbers of people who experience Schizophrenia or other related symptoms, the level of disruption it can cause one is quite significant. The American Psychiatric Association defines Schizophrenia as “a chronic brain disorder that affects less than one percent of the U.S. population. When schizophrenia is active, symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, trouble with thinking and lack of motivation…Schizophrenia does not mean split personality or multiple-personality. Most people with schizophrenia are not any more dangerous or violent than people in the general population.” Schizophrenia is rare. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that in the United States, “Schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders in the U.S. range between 0.25% and 0.64%.”

Phase of Life / Life Transitions

Change is inevitable but sometimes, we need a little more support to keep from experiencing any more stress or upheaval than necessary. Whether you are transitioning your role, your job, or just change and growth in general. Let us help you get to where you want to be.

Seniors

The need for support and encouragement doesn’t stop in your golden years. Just as the younger generations, seniors experience difficulties transitioning from one stage of their life to the next. We see issues with transitions into retirement, empty nesting, letting go of old hobbies and needing new hobbies causing or exacerbating issues like depression and/or anxiety.

Parenting Support

Whether you need help with just parenting in general or your child has their own mental health struggles you’re trying to understand, we can help. You’re the expert on your family; Let us assist you with creating an environment at home so that your children are happy, you’re comfortable, and we’re breaking those generational curses.
