Anxiety Disorders
We understand that worry, fear, and panic can be so paralyzing that it can take control of your life. Sometimes anxiety is so powerful that it keeps highly functional people from completing simple tasks. That can be both frustrating and overwhelming (especially when others don’t understand). Nevertheless, over the years, we’ve had tremendous success helping people overcome even the most debilitating symptoms of anxiety. In fact, we find that many of our patients go on to live symptom-free lives – without medication – after working with our unique approach to anxiety disorders.
Couples Counseling
We believe that most relationship problems, at their core, are far more the result of a couple’s failure to grow and change together, than they are the result of one or the other partner’s inherent failings. The truth of the matter is that most couples really want their relationship to work out and will go to great lengths to achieve that end. We believe that tapping into this positive energy is far more productive than rehashing old arguments or pointing fingers. In our experience, when a therapist helps couples identify the areas that they each need to change – and teaches them how to make those changes––most relationships improve in a relatively short period of time.
Depression
Depression is far more common than most people realize and many people who are depressed don’t even know it. That’s because many people mistakenly believe that depression is only characterized by symptoms such as overwhelming sadness, an inability to function, and chronic suicidality. However, while those are certainly indicators of depression, those symptoms only occur in extreme cases. The truth is that depression occurs along a spectrum with a great number of people experiencing the more common symptoms of depression such as: low energy, difficulty getting motivated, sleep problems, chronic stress, hopelessness, feelings of low self worth and/or an overall feeling of unhappiness.
Sports/Performance Psychology
In today’s world, excelling in sports and other high-pressure performance situations involves a lot more than just physical ability. It requires as much (or more) mental training as it does physical or academic practice. We employ the latest computer techniques and real-time training exercises in our work with athletes, high-profile business executives, students, and many other individuals who find themselves struggling with their ability to perform at their best when it matters most.
Corporate Coaching
Most executives, by the time they’ve attained management-level jobs, have clearly demonstrated intelligence and the ability to perform at a high level. What many haven’t developed, however, is functional insight into what specific skills they need to master in order to reach the next level and excel once they get there. That’s why most successful businesses utilize corporate coaches to help their leading executives improve their performance and fine-tune their leadership and communication skills. Coaches do far more than merely help executives identify their own strengths and weaknesses
