Individual Therapy
Chronic Illness
Are you overwhelmed adjusting to a new or worsening diagnosis?
Do you feel depleted trying to mask your symptoms?
Are you stressed trying to navigate all your medical appointments?
Do you feel dismissed or ignored by your doctors?
Living with a chronic illness can cause you to feel isolated in your feelings and challenges. You may have “invisible” symptoms like pain and fatigue that make everyday tasks more difficult. You may feel lonely, isolated and struggle to make meaningful connections with those around you. You may have major lifestyle adjustments like changing your diet, exercise, sleep and medication routines. Figuring out how to cope with a chronic illness can be stressful and daunting. That is where therapy comes in. We will work together to focus on the mind-body connection so you can feel more confident in your ability to manage your symptoms.
Chronic Illness Treatment
You are more than your illness and your symptoms. Therapy will help you process your fears and frustrations that arise when living with a chronic illness. We will explore realistic ways to cope with your chronic illness and find tools that strengthen your confidence. We will work together to reclaim your value and worth, so that you can build a more fulfilling life.
Anxiety
Are you feeling flooded with anxiety?
Do you often feel worn down by self-doubt?
Are you unable to relax because you are constantly worried and tense?
Do you overthink and second-guess every decision you make?
Anxiety can show up out of nowhere and it feels distressing as your internal alarms are going off. You may have difficulty concentrating, you may feel more irritable than usual, and you may have problems falling or staying asleep. Living with anxiety feels unsustainable. That is where therapy comes in. We will work together to uncover the sources of your anxiety and learn healthier ways to respond to those anxious thoughts and feelings.
Anxiety Treatment
Therapy will help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We will collaboratively build a toolbox of helpful coping skills and strategies. While aging or being a caregiver will never be stress-free or easy, therapy for anxiety will help you handle those anxiety inducing moments better.
Depression
Are you feeling drained by depression?
Do you have difficulty finding the motivation to get out of bed every morning?
Are you feeling sad, isolated or hopeless?
Do you feel like your life lacks purpose and meaning?
Depression is when those feelings of persistent sadness just won’t go away. You may no longer have interest in the daily activities or hobbies you previously enjoyed like playing pickleball or going to book club. You may have difficulty concentrating or feel extremely fatigued no matter how much you sleep. That is where therapy comes in. We will work together to identify the things that are contributing to your depression and find realistic ways to take care of yourself no matter how small.
Depression Treatment
Therapy will help you explore your feelings, experiences and relationships. We will work together to find relatable and simple coping strategies to help you regain a sense of satisfaction in your life. While aging or being a caregiver will often have hard and frustrating moments, therapy for depression will help you feel more empowered to handle these challenges and the emotions that come with them.
Grief and Loss
Are you feeling consumed by your grief?
Are you caring for a person with dementia and feel sad about your person losing their memory, communication and personality?
Are you mourning the death of a family member or friend?
Are you grieving the loss of your former self as you adjust to a new or worsening illness?
Grief and loss can completely turn your world upside down. You may feel like no one else understands what you are feeling and going through. You may feel like you are “bringing the mood down” when you talk to other people about your grief and loss. You may struggle when the death anniversary of your person comes up. All these experiences are valid and important.
Grief and Loss Treatment
There is no “right” way to grieve and everyone's grief journey is unique. Grief therapy is a space where all parts of your grief are welcomed, accepted and honored. It is a safe space to talk openly about the deep, heavy and complicated emotions that may arise like sadness, guilt, anger and resentment. We will work together to find coping strategies that resonate most with you and adapt them to fit your specific needs and circumstances.
