Finding Solutions: Counseling for Anxiety, Depression & Trauma

The Struggle with Anxiety, Depression & Trauma

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or traumatic memories. These challenges often seep into every aspect of your existence, making it difficult to enjoy even the smallest moments of your life. The constant worry, sadness, or flashbacks can leave you feeling exhausted, isolated, and helpless. It's important to understand that these disruptive feelings are intrusive & unproductive and that seeking help is a courageous step toward finding the peace you are seeking and creating the life you desire.

Myths and Realities of Recovery

There are many myths in our society surrounding anxiety, depression & trauma that can make it hard to seek the help you need. Let's debunk some common misconceptions:

Myth 1: Anxiety, depression & trauma are just weaknesses. Reality: These conditions are not signs of weakness but complex mental health issues, often rooted in our brain-wiring that requires professional understanding & intervention to remedy.

Myth 2: You should be able to "snap out of it." Reality: Mental health issues are not something you can simply ‘will’ or ‘wish’ away; they are cognitive structures & habits that have formed that need to be rewired; often requiring structured treatment & support of a trained professional.

Myth 3: Only severe cases need therapy. Reality: Believing that your challenges are not ‘bad enough’ to deal with is likely just an internal excuse to put off the work that needs to be done. When anxiety, depression or trauma is negatively impacting your life, seeking help is extremely beneficial & often the road back to your best life.

Myth 4: Therapy is a lifelong commitment. Reality: Certainly not! The duration of therapy varies, for sure; many find significant relief in a relatively short period. We will work together to determine how often and how long to work on the issues you bring to therapy.
