Depression, Fear, Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Phobias and OCD are some of the most common and uncomfortable physical, mental and emotional states that people may experience at some point in their lives. Depression can occur in short episodes, from a few days to a few weeks, or, it can be long-term, lasting months or even years. Many people experience loss of energy and motivation, low self-confidence, and negative thoughts. Although there are many different types of anxiety, there are a few common signs and symptoms, such as fear of the future, tensions, and difficulties concentrating, that indicate you may be suffering from more than a passing wave of anxiety.
Trauma therapy supports the adults, children, and adolescent's ability to cope with everyday life, leave the destabilizing aftermath of adverse circumstances behind, and embrace their future. Often difficulties with relationships, disconnection, dissociation, avoidance, anxiety, fear, depression, anger, and hopelessness can linger for a lifetime without treatment. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a successful and acclaimed evidence-based trauma therapy. Treatment of adult Complex or Developmental Trauma (childhood trauma) often involves addressing dissociative symptoms and requires modifications to standard EMDR treatment.
Successful treatment of personality disorders and complex issues such as eating disorders and dissociation requires working with an informed and skillful therapist. People with BPD find it challenging to regulate their emotions, which can result in self-harming behaviours. Eating Disorders are often diagnosed in teenagers and young adults, but many are first diagnosed in later adulthood. These are complex mental health conditions that often require the intervention of both medical and psychological experts. Dissociative Disorders involve experiencing a disconnection and lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions and identity. We provide a supportive and safe place to discuss these issues and work towards stability and recovery.
