We all experience some degree of anxiety throughout our lives. Some people are more prone to anxiety than others and some situations are more anxiety producing at times. When anxiety persists or begins to impact on significant areas of your work, relationships and enjoyment of activities, learning ways to mange anxiety can greatly improve the quality of your life. Therapy can teach you new ways to reduce your symptoms so that anxiety no longer controls you or limits your enjoyment of your life

Child and adolescent psychotherapy can assist your child to develop coping skills to manage anxiety, stress, depression, or other behavioral challenges. Through the use of evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, your child can learn to change distressing thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that may be holding them back.Family counseling can also support parents to strengthen parenting skills to help manage behavioral challenges such as impulsive or oppositional behaviors.

Because of the emotional complexity in romantic relationships, it can be hard to take a step back at times when things get off track. Relationship counseling can help you regain intimacy and rebuild a solid foundation. For new relationships, it can help to form healthy relationship patterns from the start to maintain individuality within the relationship and strengthen the bond as a couple. All couples and relationships are welcomed.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people solve problems by looking at how our thoughts, beliefs and emotions are all connected and how they influence our behavior. In therapy, you can learn to identify problematic ways of thinking that in turn leads to negative emotions and behaviors. We can learn to change negative thought patterns that keep us stuck and replace them with new coping strategies to solve problems and reach goals. It is a very effective method for a wide range of symptoms.

Couples counseling can help couples with a wide range of issues both positive and negative. Therapy will help give the couple insight into their shared strengths and weaknesses, as well as help identify these with each individual. The therapist will act as a neutral mediator to help teach the couple better ways to communicate, build/rebuild trust and intimacy, and solve problems together. Couples willing to remain open and committed can overcome problems and increase their bond with one another.
