Adult Counseling

If you feel like something is off with you and you don’t know why maybe anxiety or depression are getting to you.  Either way we have specific counseling approaches we can help you with.  It doesn’t matter if you know which one is the culprit, sometimes it’s  both and we are here to help you figure it out. We can assist you in all of the the following and more!

​

  • Anxiety

Heightened anxiety can make us miserable!  It disrupts our sleep, makes it hard to eat, and makes us feel paranoid.  When we’re struggling with this we can’t shake those unwanted thoughts and often feel like someone has hijacked our bodies.  We can teach you techniques to manage your thoughts, bring peace back to your life, and find relaxation again. We do this by working through a variety of proven methods.  These strategies work on many of the symptoms of anxiety. Common symptoms could look like the following (but not limited to):

​​

Constant thinking/can't sleep

Constant worrying

Uncontrolled fears

Intense physical reactions (stomach pain, racing heartbeat, excessive sweating)

Perfectionistic thoughts (can't make a mistake)

Panic Attacks (think you're having a heart attack)

Social Avoidance/Panic (to much to handle being around people)
 

  • Depression

Other times we are overcome with more than just typical and manageable low mood or sadness.  When depression occurs it often takes a while for us to figure it out.  Also, we can function everyday and be in a state of depression and if we don't know the symptoms we don't realize it. Things that point us toward thinking we may have depression include (but not limited to):

​

Excessive sleeping/even come from work go straight to bed/couch

Apathy or no motivation/even things you normally like to do

Sadness

Negative thinking

Hopelessness

Suicidal thinking

Social isolation

​​

  • Relationship Issues

  • Financial Problems

  • Parenting Challenges

  • Work Stress

  • Divorce

  • Trauma (past and present)

  • Family Conflicts

  • Grief

  • Legal Stress
