Considering counseling can bring up all kinds of questions

If something is interfering with your ability to love, play, or work, it should be taken seriously. Therapy is not only for mental illness; healthier people often use it to deepen their maturity and growth.

Common drivers for therapy:

• Processing trauma or difficult life experiences.
• Breaking destructive patterns or addictions.
• Handling major life transitions (breakups, loss, career shifts).

Psychiatrists are medical doctors focusing on biological aspects and medication management. Psychologists are experts in behavior and development, using psychotherapy to address internal struggles without medication. We often work together for the best client outcomes.

Anxiety alerts us to danger, but a disorder occurs when it disrupts daily life. Key types include:

• GAD: Chronic, exaggerated worry about health, money, or work.
• Panic Disorder: Sudden terror episodes (panic attacks) with physical symptoms.
• Social Phobia: Intense fear of being judged in social situations.

Depression is a mood disorder that you cannot simply "snap out of." It includes Major Depression (distinct episodes), Dysthymia (long-term low-grade sadness), and Bipolar Disorder (shifts between highs and lows).
