WOMEN

Are you frequently worried that you aren’t good enough or that you aren’t doing enough? Do you tend to care for others really well, but not yourself? Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed by the many roles and relationships in your life? Are you struggling with parenthood, trying to build a family, or coping with an issue related to women’s health?


Being a woman today can be challenging. 
Women have more choices, but also more commitments and expectations than ever before. Women are typically working hard to manage many aspects of their personal, professional and family lives, making self-care and personal wellness difficult to achieve.


When we’re hurting inside, we just can’t show up as our best selves at home or at work — even if we’ve gotten very good at hiding it. Maybe we’ve even given up hope that things can be different. 


But it doesn’t have to be that way. Therapy can help you figure out what’s getting in the way of the things you care about most, and plan your next steps for moving forward.


If any of these issues resonate with you, therapy can help:
•    You are feeling anxious, sad or depressed
•    You’re struggling with issues of self-esteem or body image
•    You’re suffering due to a traumatic event, such as childhood abuse
•    You give too much to others and don’t get enough of what you need
•    You often feel hurt by friends, family or your partner
•    You find yourself in challenging relationships
•    You keep repeating negative relationship patterns.
•    You’re grieving the loss of a relationship.
•    You’re experiencing sexual issues


Besides the goal of well-being, therapy can equip you with the skills to reduce symptoms, manage stress, and improve your quality of life. It’s about seeing yourself and others in a new perspective, taking responsibility and moving forward in your life rather than feeling stuck, helpless and hopeless.

TEENAGE GIRLS

Adolescence is hard even in the best of situations. Teenagers face a combination of societal pressure, peer pressure, and academic pressure. Then, you add all of the changes they’re facing right now and everything going on in the world around them. With so much going on, it is not uncommon for teens to show signs of anxiety, depression, academic changes, irritability, isolation, low self-esteem, reckless behavior, and sadness.

 

Sometimes teens just need someone to talk to that isn’t a family member, about difficult topics or emotions they are experiencing. It’s not that they don’t trust their family, but many times teens need a private, non-judgmental space of their own to gain insight and help.

​

As a parent or caretaker, here are some common signs to look for:

  • Increase in risk-taking behaviors

  • Withdrawal from friends and family

  • Lack of interest in activities they used to like

  • Angry or emotional outbursts

  • Recurring thoughts about death or dying

  • Sudden change in grades or school attendance

  • Poor eating habits resulting in weight loss or weight gain

  • Irregular sleep schedule, like staying up all night and sleeping all day

MILITARY & VETERANS

Therapy may include discussions about deployment experiences, combat exposure, military sexual trauma, or the difficulties of transitioning from military to civilian life. By acknowledging and exploring these topics, therapist provides a supportive environment to process their emotions and develop effective coping strategies. Depression, anxiety and trauma are discussed but in the framework of a military culture.  Therapist has been volunteering with Give an Hour for 5 years and has family members who are veterans.
