Here are some of the conditions our therapists specialize in treating for adults:
Often associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this condition sets in less than one month after a traumatic event involving death, injury or sexual violation. Some symptoms of acute stress disorder are negative mood, dissociation, avoidance, arousal and/or intrusion. Our counselors use evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy to help the brain heal from this condition.
Panic disorders are characterized by multiple surprise panic attacks followed by ongoing worry about an attack happening again. The unpredictable nature of these episodes will make it difficult for the person with the disorder to do everyday tasks like driving or attending social gatherings. Our counselors help clients manage the stresses and cognitive functions that lead to panic attacks.
People with bipolar disorder experience extreme mood swings from manic excitement to depressive sadness. The manic episode often involves reckless behavior and heightened happiness or anger, and the depressive phase typically includes a loss of energy and hopelessness. We help bipolar clients identify the internal and external causes of their disorder and manage the symptoms.
Having a baby is a momentous occasion that sometimes comes with major emotional difficulties. People with postpartum depression experience intense swings in emotion—from sadness and exhaustion to fear and worry—which make caring for the new baby difficult or impossible. A licensed therapist provides the guidance and nonjudgmental care parents require to begin this new life chapter.
People with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) struggle with debilitating worries and nervousness about everyday activities. Some of the symptoms of GAD include restlessness, frequent fatigue, trouble concentrating, irritability and tense muscles. Our mental health therapists use proven methods like cognitive behavioral therapy to help the brain react to external pressures in a healthier, non-anxious manner.
It is perfectly healthy to grieve for the loss of a loved one. However, a prolonged grief disorder occurs when the grief is still disrupting one’s life more than a year later. Some of the symptoms of this include intense emotional pain or numbness, ongoing denial about the loved one’s death and intense feelings of meaninglessness. Our counselors offer the empathetic support needed to cope with this immense grief.h to therapy helps phobia sufferers find freedom from their fears through gradual exposure to the trigger with coping techniques.
One of the biggest sources of mental disorders in our world is change. Life transitions often come with overwhelming feelings of stress, uncertainty and anxiety, which make it difficult to complete everyday tasks. Fortunately, a licensed mental health counselor provides the coping mechanisms and self-care strategies people need to successfully handle the transitions in their lives.
Clients struggling with social anxiety disorder exhibit symptoms of fear and worry when in social or performance situations. Some examples of this include the fear of being humiliated or embarrassed when giving a presentation or the onset of panic attacks when attending unfamiliar social gatherings. Our therapists identify the root causes of social anxiety and develop strategies for navigating social functions.
Major depressive disorder is a serious condition characterized by a depressed mood or lack of interest or pleasure in life. Some common symptoms of this disorder include significant weight loss, insomnia, loss of energy, difficulty concentrating and frequent thoughts of death or suicide. Our therapists specialize in diagnosing the causes of depression and helping clients get back to enjoying life.
A phobia is an illogical, fearful response triggered by a particular object or situation. When exposed to the object or situation, the person with the phobia will have difficulty behaving normally due to the overwhelming anxiety and distress. Our gentle and empathetic approach to therapy helps phobia sufferers find freedom from their fears through gradual exposure to the trigger with coping techniques.
Our individual therapy sessions for adults are collaborative and focused on your well-being. The sessions are also virtual telehealth appointments, so you can enjoy them from the comfort of your home.
The first two sessions with your mental health therapist will involve getting to know you. The therapist will create a safe, nonjudgmental space and seek to understand your struggles, goals and past experiences with therapy. Then you will receive a custom treatment plan for achieving your desired goals.
Your counselor will meet with you each week to help you enact the plan and overcome your struggles. We’ll provide treatment for as long as you need to find mental wellness and will always be there if you ever need to come back for more treatment.

You will always receive unconditional positive regard for whatever you’re going through, whether it’s anxiety, depression, family conflict or other struggles.
