Therapy for Mood Problems

Many people decide they need therapy as a result of mood “disorders.” Whether these are on-going challenges for you - or situational - we can help you identify tools to improve your life, as well as healing the sources of those challenges. We utilize hypnotherapy, cognitive therapy, narrative work, dream analysis, gestalt, and a family systems as part of our therapeutic approach.

Our goal is to help clients move forward and to find the answer to the questions at the root of these disorders:

• Anxiety or fear: How can I keep myself safe? How can I manage uncertainty and things out of my control?
  
• Anger: how have I been violated? How I can address the source of my anger and help release and reduce anger in my life?
  
• Depression: what is repressing my energy and desire? What will it take to get going again?

Many people use prescribed medications to help tackle one or more of these issues. Some find that medications can be used as a crutch or to get through a difficult time. Our experience with medication is that it can be useful, but not always ideal for a long-term solution. Research shows that best results can happen when medication is used in conjunction with therapy.
We will assess your feelings and experiences, and help you to define and achieve goals for how you feel and how you manage your emotions. While we do not proscribe medication, we can work with your psychiatrist or doctor to help ensure they provide the ideal solution in concert with your counseling work. We are also enthusiastic to help you find alternatives to medication when it makes sense.
