Areas Of Focus
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is characterized by fear and worry. These are normal feelings that help to prepare our body to take action when faced with a perceived threat. However, when those fears and worries do not go away and begin to interfere with ones daily functioning it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder. These disorders are among the most common in the general population.
Mood Disorders
Mood is the predominant attitude or emotion one experiences and can influence a person’s behavior and perception of the world. It is typical for people to experience a wide range of moods. Mood disorders are clinical conditions, such as depression and bipolar disorder, where the predominant emotional state lead to impaired interpersonal, social, and occupational functioning. Children and teens also experience mood disorders but they don’t always have the same symptoms as adults.
ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is characterized by a pattern of impaired attention and higher levels of impulsivity and hyperactivity than typically expected for ones developmental age. It is often diagnosed in childhood and lead to challenges at school, home and the community.
Role Transitions
The onset or maintenance of a depressive episode can stem from difficulty coping with changes in one’s life circumstances. This can occur in various domains of life including relationship status, employment, physical health, birth of a child, or living situation. We can work together to better understand the positive and negative aspects of the new role, explore feelings about what is lost, and develop new skills and social support systems required in the new role.
