Worry and fear can be paralyzing. It can prevent us from trusting others and trusting in the world. For some, anxiety has become a way of life. For most, it is a reaction to what feels like an insurmountable number of life’s stressors. Anxiety does not have to be part of anyone’s baseline for living. We can assist with reducing your anxiety and helping you find a new way of relating to life.
There are all types of family constellations and each one can come with their own unique struggles and needs. Effective parenting and healthy parent-child relationships CAN flourish. No matter the make-up of your family, you can create a solid foundation involving effective communication and true connection.
It is often said that kids “live in their own world” and technology only adds to that adage. Parents readily admit that they never had the struggles their children have today due to technology. Adolescence and peer pressure take on new meaning in the face of social media and the immediate gratification that the internet brings. It is an uphill battle for kids to find their sense of self, and this is an important battle. Thriving in this environment, where privacy does not exist and bullying can destroy a child, takes a tremendous amount of self-worth and support.
Grieving is how we feel about losing someone or something we love, but that is not all. We grieve life’s transitions. This grief can occur concurrently with something exciting; a child leaving for college or beginning a new job. This dichotomy can be distressing and feel, wrong. Sometimes it is grieving from past relationships or hurts. Grief has a place in our lives and navigating it is essential to living fully.
Before heading down the aisle, it is always worth examining each other as individuals who come from families, with values, with goals, and with long-term marital expectations. Be sure you have examined your future together so that you will continue celebrating your relationship as much as you celebrate it today!
Why does she stay? That tends to be the question. A more important question is, Why does he do what he does? We believe that when you are coming out of an unhealthy relationship, questioning your reasons for staying is not helpful or necessary. Finding the resolve to believe in something different and on your terms is the beginning of your healing process. Developing an understanding in how the relationship developed into its unhealthy state, is how you will learn to trust your judgment and obtain the thriving relationship you deserve.
Sound healing, also known as sound bathing, is a therapeutic practice that utilizes sound vibrations to promote healing and relaxation. It involves the use of various instruments such as singing bowls to create soothing and harmonic sound waves. These sound waves resonate with the body, mind, and spirit, helping to alleviate stress, anxiety, and emotional disturbances. Participants often lie down or sit comfortably while the sound practitioner plays the instruments, creating a meditative and peaceful environment. The vibrations from the sounds are believed to penetrate deep into the body, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual healing by restoring balance and harmony. Sound healing is said to enhance mental clarity, reduce pain, and improve overall well-being, making it a popular complementary therapy alongside other holistic practices.
Reiki energy healing is a holistic practice that channels universal life force energy to promote balance and healing across the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes. Originating in Japan, this non-invasive therapy involves a practitioner placing their hands lightly on or near the recipient’s body to facilitate energy flow and remove blockages that may cause discomfort or disease. By enhancing the natural healing process, Reiki is believed to alleviate stress, pain, and emotional disturbances, while fostering a deep sense of relaxation and peace. The benefits of Reiki can include reduced stress, enhanced mental clarity, pain relief, and improved emotional resilience. It is often used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional medical treatments to enhance overall well-being and promote a harmonious balance in the body and mind.
There is nothing more personal and violating than sexual assault. No matter your gender or age, the impact of an assault does not dissipate over time. It does not have to be a shameful event that prevents you from living fully. We can help you move out of your shame and pain and move into a state of empowerment and resilience. What happened to you did not break you, don’t let the actions of another person continue to define you. Find yourself, discover your strength, and fully embrace the life you have always wanted.
Co-occurring addictions refers to the presence of a substance use disorder alongside an underlying mental health disorder in the same individual. This combination of disorders requires an integrated treatment approach because each condition can affect the other and both must be addressed together for lasting recovery. Therapy for co-occurring addictions offers a comprehensive, coordinated approach that treats both the addiction and the mental health condition concurrently. Clinicians use evidence-based interventions to manage substance use issues (such as cravings and high-risk behaviors) while simultaneously addressing psychiatric symptoms, ensuring neither aspect is neglected. By addressing both conditions at the same time, this integrated therapy aims to improve overall outcomes, reduce the risk of relapse, and support long-term recovery.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help individuals process and resolve trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns quickly and effectively. ART utilizes guided imagery and rapid eye movement techniques to reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact without requiring individuals to relive traumatic experiences. This structured, directive approach helps reframe negative thoughts and sensations, often leading to significant symptom relief in just a few sessions. By accessing the brain’s natural ability to heal, ART fosters rapid recovery, improving emotional resilience and overall well-being. It is particularly effective for individuals seeking a short-term, solution-focused intervention for trauma and stress-related conditions.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative, evidence-based treatment that combines ketamine administration with psychotherapy to address conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, works by modulating glutamate activity in the brain, promoting neuroplasticity and rapid symptom relief. In a controlled, therapeutic setting, patients receive ketamine in conjunction with guided psychotherapy to enhance emotional processing, reduce distressing symptoms, and facilitate lasting psychological change. This integrative approach allows individuals to access and reframe deeply rooted thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to process through traditional talk therapy alone. KAP offers a promising alternative for those who have not responded to conventional treatments, fostering healing and improved mental well-being.
