mental Health Counseling

Having the blues? Do you find yourself isolating?  Perhaps feeling sluggish?

DEPRESSION might be the issue. 

So what we are going to do is figure out is this a internal or external problem. 

We will examine  situations that can contribute to how you are feeling. We come up with  way to understand what your body is telling you when you are feeling down and learn to change the narrative. While developing and implementing a new routine to reduce isolation, and  procrastination.

I BET YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE SYMPTOMS BUT CAN QUITE FIGURE OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING! 

ANXIETY!!  

First and foremost, let's learn to identify your bodily symptoms when it comes to anxiety. Your body is telling you something is wrong. Or is it? 

Ill educate you on how the brain operates in associate with your unhealthy thoughts. Oh and your emotions are tied to this stuff too! 

Like depression, we will understand what the body is saying. Identify and challenge  your fear to move forward. Now if there is no true "fear" we will learn coping skills to reduce the body symptoms that limit you from your every day life. 

That's POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD)

 It is limiting and debilitating. It's like you been robbed of your past you. You know the one before the traumatic situation. You wish things were back to normal. 

You know, the body symptoms are like what you have when you are depressed and anxious.

Once again, let's understand the symptoms, the body ones and the emotional ones. 

We will learn to reduce the body symptoms while normalize you after the trauma. Through processing your thoughts. Its like grief. We will go through the stages. 

Ultimately, I will help  you understand the grief, your thoughts, and emotions. Together we will develop a plan and ways to cope  with your life after the trauma.

That's loss or what we call GRIEF! 

Any time there is a loss or a change, you are essentially grieving.

You could be shocked, didn't see that coming. Or say to yourself what or why? If I didn't.... or have the depressed feels?

You will learn about grief and how it is affecting you. I will help you alleviate those what if thoughts. While learning how to live life with loss or changes.

 Be rest assured this is temporary and you will be back to your resilient you in no time. 

Are you using like DRUGS or DRINKING to cope? 

Did you know using (substances) just numbs the problems and emotions. You will need to  address your problems  and learn how to cope with them. 

My first question to you is.... do you know how to solve the problem?

No worries! Together we will figure out the problem, identify your emotions, and gain the skills to work through the problem. 

Oh and if your unhealthy habits ruined your relationships. I can help repair those too! 

Are you feeling invalidating or having resentments towards your person? Perhaps you have a disconnect with your person but afraid to express yourself? Are you just not able to connect with your person like you used to?

Sounds like you are having RELATIONSHIP ISSUES

Just remember you are human and not everyone is like you or know what you are thinking. 

We will identify your morals, boundaries, values and how they align with your interaction with others. We will understand your person's behaviors to learn to work with them not against them. 

I will teach you how to identify and  express your vulnerabilities and boundaries  to develop and maintain a healthy relationship.
