Benefits of Therapy

Most people come to therapy because they want to live life better. Therapy provides a safe place for self-exploration. The therapist can help you understand yourself and the behaviors you frequently exhibit. 

Understanding the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors helps create changes. Therapy provides a compassionate “outside view” which helps you look at life situations in a  new way and try new solutions. With a therapist you can create a plan to treat depression, anxiety, panic, eating disorders, relationship problems, parenting, pain management, and navigate through life’s challenges.

Understanding how early trauma effects the brain and understanding defense mechanisms.

  • Develop a positive attitude, instead of ruminating on negative things, practice staying in the present, (mindfulness), gratitude, and focusing on the positive

  • Get adequate sleep, good sleep hygiene is a must.

  • Smile more, moving muscles to smile changes mood

  • Develop friends and maintain those friendships

  • Connect with friends and family
