Individual Therapy

Anxiety & Depression

Battling depression and/or anxiety is anything but easy. Sometimes it feels situational and other times it is difficult to determine the causation. Therapy can help pin point the triggers and give you the tools to become empowered over it. Why face it alone when a professional can help you navigate it with specific and tangible tools.

Divorce and Other Life Changes

Sometimes life throws an unexpected curve leaving us feeling overwhelmed and making it difficult to gain traction and a solid direction. Whether it be divorce, the empty nest, a recent move or another life changing event, navigating significant adjustments can be challenging. Having a neutral outsider trained to help you stay focused and to assist with clarity can be priceless. Maintaing a sense of balance and direction during a difficult time is not easy, but absolutely doable. Get the help you need today.

Chronic or Unexpected Illness

The Director of the Center, Gabrielle, worked beside a well respected physician for 7 years. During this time, she was groomed to understand the emotional and mental health effects of many chronic illnesses and counseled many patients with significant diagnoses. This training has been shared with other colleagues in the practice. The Center is trained to recognize illnesses such as PANDAS, Lyme Disease, Hyper/Hypo Thyroid, etc. and help make appropriate referrals when necessary. Cancer, renal failure, tick illness, miscarriages and diabetes are examples of chronic illness that the Center has experience helping others navigate. Let us help you maintain a sense of balance during an otherwise draining and scary time.

EMDR to Help Heal Trauma

EMDR is a well researched tool used to help reduce the effects of trauma and anxiety. It is a neurologically based mode of treatment that provides relief and empowerment sometimes faster than with traditional talk therapy alone. Contact out EMDR specialist today to find out more about this effective, evidence based vehicle for healing and balance.
Picture
Our center sees many adults and teens individually. There are many reasons that one might seek therapy. Working long hours, excessive traveling, divorce/separation, caring for a special needs child, getting a cancer diagnosis and forgetting everything to fight it...the list is endless. The truth is, if we are not careful, we are all at risk of losing sight of what is important to us. When this happens, life seems a bit duller. Things that brought us joy previously, now becomes irritants. We push people away, maybe drink too much or exercise too little. But we are ANYTHING but balanced.

Therapy can help create balance and teach you to live mindfully again. It can build up places in yourself that have been missing for awhile, or evolve something in you that you haven't tapped into before. Individual therapy is like a respite from your life. For 45 minutes, an unbiased, trained professional listens to you and helps you navigate where you really want to go. Clients often say that the therapy room itself becomes a safe place to release problems and issues instead of carrying them around from week to week. 

The following pages give examples of some of the issues that we help clients navigate. This is not an exhaustive list, but are examples. If you would like to make an appointment to talk with one of us, please reach out today.
