Anxiety

The Anxiety and Depression Association of America has reported that approximately one out of five people suffer from an anxiety disorder. As a result, it is considered to be the most common mental disorder in the United States.


Anxiety is a normal reaction to stressful situations. It can even serve to effectively prompt one to deal with difficult situations that need to be attended to. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, it creates emotional, physical, and/or behavioral symptoms resulting in fear and worry. Many physical symptoms that may be experienced are fatigue, body aches, insomnia, headaches—just to name a few. Emotionally, individuals suffering from anxiety may experience fear, racing thoughts, and a feeling of impending doom. When experiencing anxiety, it is not uncommon for an individual to withdraw or to avoid certain places or people.


The most common anxiety disorder is known as GAD, generalized anxiety disorder. Other anxiety disorders include: OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder; panic attacks/disorder; phobias; and PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.


Several forms of psychotherapy are effective. Of these, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which is considered to be one of the most effective modalities of treatment for anxiety and depression, works to replace negative and unproductive thought and behavioral patterns with more realistic and useful ones. This treatment focuses on taking specific steps to overcome not only anxiety, but also depression.


Our thoughts and behaviors can bring about a lot of unnecessary distress and pain. Therefore, healing does depend on intervening with both the thoughts and behaviors. Among the many strategies you’ll learn to help you manage your anxiety, rather than it managing you, is learning about what triggers your anxiety and what you can positively do about it.

 

Jean is a cognitive-behavioral therapist. She provides a warm, supportive, non-judgmental environment in which you are free to explore and focus on the skills you need to acquire for managing your anxiety and stress more effectively. It is a place where you will feel safe and respected.


Most individuals who have sought treatment report that they experience significant improvement in their ability to effectively manage their anxiety and experience far less debilitating fear and worry. They enjoy an improved quality of life and are able to enjoy their relationships. They no longer want to withdraw or avoid certain things or people. They express feeling more confident.


If you are tired of feeling anxious or perhaps feeling worried and fearful about many things—feeling like the anxiety is managing you and your life, when all you really want is a happy, fulfilled life where you enjoy your family, friends, feel energetic in your job or school,  I would like to help. I would love to hear your story and see if we can together make it better for you.

Couples Counseling

We’re wired to be loved and to have someone to love. Hence, a disconnected relationship with your special someone can cause you to feel alone, afraid, desperate, or even sad and angry. It’s not uncommon to view such struggles as a sign that you’ve outgrown each other or perhaps you weren’t meant for each other in the first place. Maybe you wonder if you’ve fallen out of love with each other. So, why stay together you may be asking.


Because it’s possible to recapture that vitality, romance, trust, and closeness you once had in your relationship. Remember, you’ve now forged a history together and have invested much into each other’s lives.


An important aspect of couples counseling includes helping each of you identify your own needs and then be able to express them effectively and respectfully—so that your special someone really understands what you’re saying. Remember, it’s more than just learning about being a couple. You will also better understand yourself as an individual. You do not have to lose yourself and individuality as you work towards becoming a better “we” couple.


In counseling sessions, Jean helps you learn better listening, communication, and conflict resolution skills. In addition, you’ll be asked to look to see if there are any destructive patterns in your relationship that you’d like to eradicate. She can help you learn new and better ways to craft the relationship you both really want—where you both feel loved, valued and respected. Most of all, your relationship can be better and more fulfilling than it has ever been. You can regain a sense of love, deep connection, and confidence.


Many couples have reported that they believe they were able to save their marriages by coming to couples counseling and doing the work. They are so happy they made this decision, not only for each other and their relationship, but also for their children. They report that life is not only more manageable, but far more exciting and rewarding.


If you are tired of feeling disconnected in your marriage or perhaps feeling worried and fearful about many issues in your marriage—feeling like the chaos is managing you and your life, when all you really want is a happy, fulfilled marriage and a life where you enjoy your family, friends, feel energetic in your job or school, I would like to help. I would love to hear your story and see if we can together make it better for you.

Depression

Depression is a common mental health disorder. In the United States, the incidence of depression has increased every year in the past century.  According to the Centers for Disease Control, now one out of ten people report experiencing a depressive episode sometime during their lifetime. Depression involves one’s moods and thoughts as well as the body.  It can interfere with a wide variety of aspects of everyday life—from a person’s family, work or school life, as well as sleeping and eating habits, which in turn impacts one’s general health. Depression causes unnecessary suffering and is a risk factor for suicide, if it goes unchecked.


Everybody from time to time has a “bad-hair day” or blue mood. However, depression is more of a pervasive experience of a bleak outlook or mood, lack of energy, low self-esteem and a loss of interest in things or pleasures they once enjoyed.  It is not a sign of weakness, nor can it just be willed away or resolved by, perhaps, a good night’s sleep or a good workout.


Even if the case of depression is very severe, it is highly treatable. However, if you seek treatment in the early phases of your depression versus putting it off, there is more likelihood that recurrent episodes can be forestalled and possibly even prevented. Studies bear out the fact that the most effective treatment is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). CBT addresses the negative and unproductive thought patterns and replaces them with more realistic and useful ones, with or without the use of antidepressant drugs.


During your counseling sessions, you will learn to recognize and analyze the thought patterns and behaviors that trigger your depressive symptoms. Reframing your negative thoughts will then in turn reduce and may even eradicate the impact that depression has on you. As a result, you may again find meaning and enjoyment in your relationships and work. As you become more confident, it will be easier to engage with others at home, work, social events, wherever you might be.


Jean is a cognitive-behavioral therapist. She provides a warm, supportive, non-judgmental environment in which you are free to explore and focus on the skills you need to acquire for addressing your depression more effectively. It is a place where you will feel safe and respected.


Most individuals who have sought treatment report that they experience significant relief from their depression. They enjoy an improved quality of life and are able to enjoy their relationships as well. They are able to participate actively in life and generally feel better physically and emotionally.


If you are tired of feeling sad and lonely or perhaps feeling hopeless about many things—feeling like the depression is managing you and your life, when all you really want is a happy, fulfilled life where you enjoy your family, friends, feel energetic in your job or school, I would like to help. I would love to hear your story and see if we can together make it better for you.

Grief Counseling

Grief is the result of a loss of someone or something that was special or in some way meaningful to you. We typically think of it as the loss of a loved one or dear friend. However, there can be other significant losses in life; i.e., job, home, marriage, health, etc.


Grief that is not addressed or processed can become complicated and eventually turn into a more serious mental health issue, such as a deep depression or excessive anxiety or even manifest itself in physical ailments.


No two people grieve exactly the same and everyone tends to grieve according to their own timetable. Overcoming grief is not an event, but rather a process. Some of the factors that can impact how long you may be in a grief state are the relationship or meaning of the person/thing to you. For example, it can be different if you had a close, loving relationship with the person versus an estranged relationship. The type of death, anticipated or sudden, or a violent, unexplainable death, etc., can impact one’s response to their grief.


When in grief you will feel a gamut of emotions simultaneously. You may also want to isolate and shut yourself off from others. At times during the grief process, you may need solace and to be alone to work out certain aspects of your grief. However, grief does not heal in isolation. It needs others to walk alongside them in the journey.


You may find counseling very helpful. It is a safe place to express and explore your feelings, talk about them regardless of how you may think they sound, you will find support and nurturing and understanding. This will help you process the grief and then be able to reconcile with your grief as you forge a new lifestyle without the one you lost.


Life will continue to be different without the presence of your loved one. It is the changing of the relationship from one of presence to one of memory. Redirecting your energy and initiative toward the future often takes longer and is harder than most people anticipate.


Jean provides a warm, non-judgmental, nurturing environment in which you are free to explore and focus on your grief work. It is a place where you will feel safe and respected. She’ll walk beside you and help you reconcile with your loss. With reconciliation comes a renewed sense of energy and confidence, an ability to fully acknowledge the reality of the death and a capacity to again become involved in the activities of living.


People who have successfully worked through their grief report that although life is changed for them forever, they have a new sense of hope and peace. They have the ability to move on with their lives without the fear of forgetting their loved one.  The sad memories are now replaced with good memories. They report they can laugh again and enjoy life.


If you feel like your grief is overwhelming you, not sure what to do or if you’ll ever feel whole again—feeling like grief is managing you and your life, when all you really want is to feel hope and someone to walk through this dark journey in your life with you, I would like to help. I would love to hear your story and see if we can together make your grief more bearable and bring healing into your life.
