Anxiety Disorders: There many types of anxiety disorders that include panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, post traumatic stress syndrome, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and generalized anxiety disorder.  What are the types of anxiety disorders?


Eating Disorders: Eating is controlled by many factors, including appetite, food availability, family, peer, and cultural practices, and attempts at voluntary control. Dieting to a body weight leaner than needed for health is highly promoted by current fashion trends, sales campaigns for special foods, and in some activities and professions. Eating disorders involve serious disturbances in eating behavior, such as extreme and unhealthy reduction of food intake or severe overeating, as well as feelings of distress or extreme concern about body shape or weight. Researchers are investigating how and why initially voluntary behaviors, such as eating smaller or larger amounts of food than usual, at some point move beyond control in some people and develop into an eating disorder. Studies on the basic biology of appetite control and its alteration by prolonged overeating or starvation have uncovered enormous complexity, but in the long run have the potential to lead to new medication treatments for eating disorders.  Learn more about eating disorders.


Adjustment Disorders: A person with adjustment disorder often experiences feelings of depression or anxiety or combined depression and anxiety. As a result, that person may act out behaviorally against the "rules and regulations" of family, work, or society. In some people, an adjustment disorder may manifest itself in such behaviors as skipping school, unexpected fighting, recklessness, or legal problems. Other people, however, instead of acting out, may tend to withdraw socially and isolate themselves during their adjustment problems. Still others may not experience behavioral disturbances, but will begin to suffer from physical illness. If someone is already suffering from a medical illness, that condition may worsen during the time of the adjustment disorder. People in the midst of adjustment disorders often do poorly in school or at work. Very commonly they begin to have more difficulty in their close, personal relationships.  Learn more about adjustment disorders.

Personality Disorders:
  A personality disorder is identified by a pervasive pattern of experience and behavior that is abnormal with respect to any two of the following: thinking, mood, personal relations and the control of impulses.  Learn more about personality disorders.


Addiction:
We offer a 4, 6, and 9 week program to stop Smoking, Drinking, and Drug use. At the end of 4 weeks each person is evaluated to see if continuing supportive care is required. Please call us to schedule an appointment as we would be happy to answer all your questions.


Depression:
The journey to recovery seems long and difficult you no longer need to walk alone. You can be heard; you can be understood; you can share your hopes and fears. And you can receive the helping hand from a fellowship of your peers.


Family Issues:
The American family is a rapidly changing institution. You may have grown up in the stereotypical American family - two parents and one or more children, with a father who worked outside the home and a mother who stayed home and cared for the children and the household. Today, with the entry of so many more women into the workforce, with the increasing divorce rate, and with the growing number of single-parent households, other family structures have become more common.

 
Abuse: Relationship violence is often experienced as a combination of physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. The following are some examples of the range of experiences that can occur. This list includes examples of behaviors and actions that are violent and abusive and can help you assess the healthiness of your relationship. If any of these signs are present, you may want to seek professional help to assess the healthiness of your relationship and your safety.


Counseling or therapy provides an opportunity to overcome the difficulties that arise from these emotional struggles. Issues that affect people such as stress; anxiety, depression, difficulty creating or sustaining an intimate relationship. Also, difficulties with couple communication issues, recovery from substance abuse and coping with an illness or grief.
