Anxiety exists in a variety of forms (generalized, social, phobias, panic disorder). Untreated anxiety can feel overwhelming. Effective treatments for anxiety are available.
Depression is different from the blues. It can be caused by biological and/or situational factors. Several psychotherapy approaches have proven effective for treating depression.
Insomnia is a common problem in today’s busy world. Most people don’t know about “sleep hygiene”. Almost everyone can benefit from learning healthier sleep behaviors.
Healthy self-esteem is characterized by contentment, optimism and self-acceptance. Self-esteem can be damaged by abusive interpersonal relationships and limited experiences of success. Positive self-esteem can be developed gradually through therapy.
Stress is caused by life challenges such as loss, adjusting to new circumstances, and burnout. Self care, work/ life balance, relaxation and social support are some tools you can learn to use for managing and reducing stress.
