Trauma survivors (whether from childhood or adulthood) often struggle with feelings of loneliness, confusion, an inability to trust, and a feeling or sense of being “out of touch or detached” with self or environment. Symptoms can threaten close relationships, complicate communication, impair problem solving, and get in the way of being able to live a full and satisfying life. Many opportunities for hope and recovery lie in getting the right treatment at the right time.   

Mild depression and anxiety are all too common in today's society but can develop into a major life limiting issues. Counseling can introduce you to the many tools, resources and ways of being that can decrease and potentially resolve these symptoms.

Mental health conditions such as Bi-polar illness, Schizophrenia and other thought disorders can be significant impediments to living a happy, whole and satisfying life. A professional and supportive relationship with a therapist can help you negotiate the many challenges you face on a daily basis. 

Whether a surprise or planned, the impact and associated change with life transitions can often throw us into a spin and create fluctuations in mood, increased anxiety and sometimes fear. Working with a therapist can offer a grounding, objective voice while providing a safe environment to explore ideas and new ways of living. 

There are many layers to dealing with a chronic or medical illness. Your treatment, facing new limitations on your body/mind, family reactions and impact, work, living  life, and just trying to "feel normal again" are just a few.  A skilled therapist can offer a listening ear, support and help you  discover new ways of thinking about your life and future and how to integrate the new pieces into a new and fulfilling life. 

Children are not little adults, they are children with their own unique and special ways of interacting and experiencing the world. Sometimes behaviors are difficult for families to manage, scary for children and overwhelming.  Just as unique as they are, there are also specific strategies and approaches to help kids be healthy kids and parents to survive parenthood.
