NEW CLIENT CONSULTATION
Finding a therapist who is a good fit is a difficult step in the “therapy” journey. To respect the importance of this connection, I do offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to all new clients to see if we would be a good fit together. Feel free to contact me and mention a phone consultation to get something scheduled.
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
Individual sessions working with both mothers and fathers on issues related to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), formerly referred to as “postpartum depression”. We now know that women (and men!) can experience PMADs both during and after birth. PMAD refers to anxiety and mood disorders that happen anytime from “while pregnant” to up to one year postpartum. Schedule a visit today to see how I can help you.
Mood disorders
Depression and other mood disorders can happen at any time, whether you are expecting it or not. There are several evidence-based treatment approaches that can be used to help battle some of the difficult situations that come with these disorders. Schedule a visit today to discuss these approaches.
Trauma
Experiencing a trauma can be life altering, in many ways. Some individuals are able to continue on with life unaffected, many are not. Often times trauma has a way of altering how we view ourselves in society, our safety, and our relationships with those around us. Trauma can look so very different to each person. There are many different treatment approaches that can be utilized to treat concerns related to a traumatic experience (or several experiences). We can work together to create a treatment plan that feels safe and appropriate for each person.
Anxiety disorders
Anxiety is a part of life, everybody experiences it. However, sometimes in life our circumstances and experiences cause our “normal” anxieties to tip into the concerning area. Anxiety looks different for every person. If you feel that your anxiety is harder to manage than usual, there are many techniques that may help you. Schedule a visit today to explore these further.
Therapy approaches
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a therapy practice that focuses on the relationship between our thoughts - behaviors - emotions. We call this the “CBT triangle”. These three components interact together to help us understand who we are and why we do some of the things we do. CBT is an evidence-based, first line treatment for many disorders.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a “trendy” new term that gets thrown around a lot. However, it does carry a lot of weight in helping us cope with big emotions and situations. Mindfulness is a way to help us feel like we have more control over what can feel like uncontrollable feelings.
Polyvagal Theory
Polyvagal theory is an emerging approach to treating and processing trauma. Polyvagal theory merges the science of safety, trust, self-regulation, and attachment. Often these components are impacted by trauma, this approach helps address these core concerns.
