Therapy
Anorexia / Bulimia
When you become so preoccupied with food and weight issues that you find it harder and harder to focus on other aspects of your life, it may be an early sign of an eating disorder. Studies suggest that 1 in 20 people will be affected at some point in their lives.
Depression
Depression attacks all individuals and ages.The feeling is one of hopelessness, sadness, regret, feeling like there is no point to life or living. Depression is very common, yet many times not treated.Counseling aids and benefits tremendously.
Behavior Therapy
Therapists apply behavioral therapy also known as didactic behavior therapy to assist parents with defiant children. Behavioral therapy starts with a daily schedule and a routine using a method of work then play. This method has been viewed on the hit show “Super Nanny”. The Concept is, complete your chores then get a reward; have free play time, or social time. If routine/ chores/ work isn’t completed the reward (money, stickers, movies, computer time) isn’t granted. We also work with how to deal with tantrums.
Self Harm
Self-harm is the deliberate infliction of damage to your own body and includes cutting, burning, and other forms of injury. While cutting can look like attempted suicide, it’s often not; most people who mutilate themselves do it as a way to regulate mood. People who hurt themselves in this way may be motivated by a need to distract themselves from inner turmoil or to quickly release anxiety that builds due to an inability to express intense emotions.
Anger Management
The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can’t get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions.
Relationship Counseling
Relationship counseling, also called couples therapy, is a type of psychotherapy. Relationship counseling helps couples of all types recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. Through counseling, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding your relationship or going your separate ways.
