Anxiety & Depression

Feeling depressed may mean you feel numb, like any emotion you feel isn't quite being felt. Or, feeling anxious can make you feel on edge and constantly worrying about what will happen next. Both anxiety and depression can show up as a lack of energy, needing to take a nap every day or fighting to get out of bed in the morning.

Therapy can provide space to explore what you are experiencing. Possible goals of therapy may include reconnecting with your energy and motivation and feeling more like yourself.

Work Burnout

Work-related stress is often complex and can leave you feeling nervous and unheard. People also often bring stress home from work, where it can affect their family and other personal relationships.

Therapy can provide space to talk through work stress and conflict that follows you home. Some clients come to therapy hoping to find a healthier relationship with their work.

Relationships

Intimate relationship strains can keep us on edge and leave us feeling inadequate. We can also become self-conscious and try to compensate for the stress in the relationship.

Individual therapy for relationship concerns may help you explore your own strengths, patterns, and areas you would like to work on. The work can also involve looking at the impact of difficult or harmful experiences in current and past relationships.

Family & Friendship

Our friendships often determine the quality of our lives, and when these relationships become fragile and uncertain, we can often feel quite unstable and vulnerable. We may begin to feel lonely and isolated.

Seeking therapy for personal relationships is common. Therapy can provide space to process the emotions and turmoil you are experiencing. Possible goals may include building skills for repairing connections, or deciding to let go of relationships that no longer fit.

Men's Issues

Pressure at work, strain in relationships, and expectations to stay strong can all add to the stress men experience. These feelings can show up as sexual issues, social isolation, or symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Seeking therapy for men's issues may feel daunting and intimidating, but it can offer support as you navigate a challenging time. The work can involve looking at your health, your stress, and the changes you would like to make.

Guilt & Shame

The experience of guilt can often leave us feeling like we have done something terrible, and the experience of shame can leave us feeling like we are a horrible person. Both guilt and shame can be very destructive to our health.

Therapy for guilt, and its cousin, shame, can provide space to explore self-acceptance and the reality that, as humans, we are imperfect and make mistakes. Some clients come to therapy hoping to carry these feelings differently, and talking them through can be part of that work.
