  Depression can be described as heavy, down, hopeless, unmotivated, we struggle to move, we stop grabbing at life. There is a stillness in our minds. We forget family and friends. Work falls behind and our world becomes colorless. It's a feeling we've all experienced in some form or shape in our lives, it touches us all. When clients come in experiencing depression, they’ve already taken the first step towards recovery; It also sets the structure for the active work that will be required. Treatment can then involve challenging thinking/behavioral patterns that will get clients back to doing what they used to do and feel joy and pleasure in a new way.

 Anxiety can present itself for many reasons but we usually interpret it as dangerous. Avoidance behaviors become so overwhelming that we are no longer able to function. But anxiety can also be working for us as a protective factor or when we need to pay attention to something important we are avoiding.

Our anxiety therapy sessions will provide a safe and supportive environment to manage these symptoms, confront what we fear, and develop effective coping strategies to help us return to living more fuller lives.

Working towards making changes that have become habitual will be a challenge to many of our clients struggling with any habit or addiction because it's working and why change what is bringing you relief? This is very threatening to the survival of our clients psyche.

Uncovering techniques will be useful to exploring how certain coping strategies developed for clients at the time but are now no longer functional. Validating the solutions our clients had available during crisis and problem solving to find new solutions will be the focus of therapy.

Trauma requires providing a safe and supportive environment to help process and heal from traumatic experiences.
