Psychotherapy

Are you thinking of entering psychotherapy?

• You may be feeling depressed, discouraged, frightened or anxious.
• Your depression may be due to difficulties encountered after the birth of a new baby.
• Your confusion and fear may be due to misunderstandings within your relationship with your lifelong partner. You may even feel a lot of resentment toward each other.
• You may find it difficult resuming your life after the loss of a loved one.
• Your anxiety may be a result of worries about how your body looks.
• You may be frightened about changes occurring in your family, or worried about the problems your children are having as they grow up. You may feel there is too much unexpressed anger in your family.
• You may feel unappreciated at work, misunderstood by your co-workers or employer.
• You may feel at odds with the environment around you because of issues of diversity, ethnicity or acculturation.

In therapy, we work together to understand how both unusual and normal life events may interfere with your well-being. We talk about your feelings in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance. The benefits of psychotherapy range from feeling better equipped to navigate through life to becoming less depressed, worried, anxious or angry about your life circumstances, as well as learning to better articulate and communicate your needs to your family, partner, children, friends, boss and co-workers.
