Many people can benefit from working with a therapist. I have worked with individuals and couples who have reported improvement in a range of issues, some of which include:- depression and anxiety (chronic or situational)
- grief/loss
- managing life transitions and stress
- post traumatic stress disorder
- relationship problems
- coping with persistent mental illness (bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder)
How does therapy help?
So many of us live life on automatic pilot without the time to even think about what is going on in our lives or in our present experience. Therapy can help provide space to slow down and reconnect with ourselves and others. We take time to see, hear and feel what is going on inside and outside ourselves and talk about it.
This process can highlight changes that we want to make and can increase our flexibility in how we respond to ourselves, others, and circumstances of life.
What are some possible benefits of therapy?
- Understanding of self and what drives your actions/behavior
- Strategies for managing emotions, thoughts, stress, relationships
- Skills for managing symptoms of depression or anxiety
- Greater choice over how to respond to your life experiences
- Improved connection to self, others, and to the present moment
- Ability to express self, communicate more authentically and freely
- A greater sense of satisfaction and wellbeing in life
