As you learn the most flexible, healthy ways to take care of your body, that work for you specifically, you can let go of frustration and hatred toward your body, and move on to living your authentic life with joy and happiness.
depression counseling

Depression Counseling

Counseling for depression usually involves support, education, stopping isolation by getting family and friends involved and helping to determine whether medication is needed. Recovery from depression means feeling like yourself again and finding what is meaningful and important to you in life.
anxiety disorder treatment

Anxiety Counseling

Counseling to recover from anxiety disorders includes cognitive and supportive techniques. Exposure to the feared events and learning to overcome unwarranted fears may be part of therapy. Medication is often helpful to break the cycles and inhibit the “fight or flight” response.

We specialize in many areas
