Depression

Understanding and Managing Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a rough day— it’s a complex mental health condition that can affect your entire life. Symptoms can include overwhelming sadness, fatigue, loss of interest in activities, and difficulty concentrating. It often disrupts relationships, work, and overall well-being. The good news is that depression is highly treatable.

  • Living with depression can feel like an invisible weight dragging you down. You might feel emotionally numb, constantly tired, or lose interest in things you used to enjoy. Everyday tasks can become daunting, and you may struggle with feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or irritability.

  • If you’ve been feeling persistently low, unmotivated, or withdrawn for two weeks or more, you might be experiencing depression. Other signs include changes in appetite, trouble sleeping, and a loss of energy.

Symptoms include constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, and restlessness. Anxiety disorders are common, but they’re also highly treatable with the right interventions.

  • Anxiety can feel like your mind is constantly racing, making it hard to focus, relax, or even sleep. You might find yourself avoiding situations that make you anxious, or experiencing physical symptoms like a racing heart, muscle tension, or dizziness.

  • If worry, fear, or restlessness have been affecting your ability to enjoy life for more than six months, it might be anxiety. Physical symptoms like trouble sleeping or tightness in your chest are also common.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Understanding OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to alleviate the anxiety these thoughts cause. OCD can significantly interfere with daily life, but it is manageable with the right treatment.

  • Individuals with OCD often experience overwhelming anxiety due to intrusive thoughts, leading them to engage in rituals or compulsions to find temporary relief. This cycle can be distressing, as compulsive behaviors may provide only brief comfort and often reinforce the obsession. The constantly fluctuating need to perform these actions can disrupt relationships, work, and daily activities.

  • If you find yourself struggling with persistent, unwanted thoughts or feel compelled to perform certain behaviors to reduce anxiety, you may be dealing with OCD.

    Learn more about how Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy can help you manage intrusive thoughts and reduce compulsive behaviors.

Trauma and PTSD

Understanding Trauma and PTSD

Trauma can result from any distressing experience that is beyond our capacity. It could be as big as accidents, abuse, or loss and as small as an unkind word, dismissiveness or shame. When trauma symptoms persist over time, it may lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or dissociative disorders. Common symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, heightened anxiety, people pleasing and relationship distress.

  • Living with trauma or PTSD can feel like reliving the distress over and over. You might have flashbacks, trouble sleeping, or find yourself avoiding people or places that remind you of the event. Trauma can also cause difficulty in trusting others or regulating emotions. Or you may just feel unwell and not know why.

  • If you are human, you have likely experienced a traumatic event. You may have racing thoughts, fear of getting in trouble and persistently try to please others. If you struggle  with persistent anxiety, flashbacks, hypervigilance or nightmares, you may be dealing with PTSD.

    Learn more about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and how it helps reprocess traumatic memories.

  • We specialize in trauma treatment using therapies like:

    • Trauma-Focused CBT: A combination of cognitive therapy and trauma interventions.

Dissociative Disorders

Understanding Dissociative Disorders

Dissociative disorders involve a disconnection between thoughts, identity, memory, and consciousness, often as a coping mechanism for trauma or stress. Common types include Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Dissociative Amnesia, and Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder, significantly impacting those who experience overwhelming events in their lives.

  • Living with a dissociative disorder can feel like being in two worlds—one where you function normally and another where you feel detached. Symptoms often include memory gaps, disconnection, and fluctuating identities, which can lead to confusion and anxiety.

  • Persistent detachment, memory loss, and feelings of disconnection from yourself or your environment may indicate a dissociative disorder.

Eating Disorders & Body Image

Understanding Eating Disorders and Body Dysmorphia

Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder are serious conditions that affect both physical and mental health. These disorders often stem from unhealthy relationships with food and distorted perceptions of body image. Many people also struggle with body dysmorphia, where they fixate on perceived flaws in their appearance. These issues can be overwhelming, but recovery is possible.

  • Living with an eating disorder or body dysmorphia can feel like an ongoing battle with your body and mind. You might find yourself obsessing over food, weight, or appearance, leading to restrictive eating, binge eating, or purging behaviors. The emotional toll can include shame, anxiety, and isolation.

  • If you find that thoughts about food or your appearance dominate your daily life and interfere with your ability to function, you may be struggling with an eating disorder or body image issues.

ADHD

Understanding ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Recent studies indicate that many women and girls do not receive timely diagnoses because their symptoms often manifest as internal hyperactivity. This can lead to significant challenges in daily functioning and relationships for all. While ADHD is lifelong, it can be effectively managed with appropriate interventions.

  • Those with ADHD may struggle with focus, organization, and time management, often feeling overwhelmed by distractions. Women and girls may experience more subtle symptoms that can lead to misunderstandings and delayed diagnoses. Impulsivity and restlessness can also complicate daily responsibilities and interpersonal relationships.
