ANXIETY & MOOD DISORDER PSYCHOTHERAPY

Approximately 30% of people experience anxiety symptoms and approximately 20% of people experience mood disturbances as a reaction to problems associated with family, other interpersonal relationships, vocational or academic pressures, financial problems, and reactions to many medical conditions.  These extreme shifts in mood swings or feelings of anxiety are more intense than the normal ups-and-downs people experience in their lives.  



Psychotherapy for These Problems has Many Advantages.  


·     People realized they are not alone when hearing other people talking about similar problems.

·     

        Psychotherapy helps you develop new skills when relating with other people.

·     

        Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy techniques taught help people develop strong  

              positive coping skills that help eliminate the anxiety and mood disturbances previously experienced as a

              reaction to the many pressures in life that people experience.

·     

        By improving interpersonal relationships with psychotherapy, this helps people transition their

              therapy experiences to their lives outside of psychotherapy sessions.

·     

        Psychotherapy enables a healing process that addresses prior trauma caused by toxic interpersonal

              relationships in one's past. This helps people learn how early experiences caused distorted beliefs about

              themselves that help form maladaptive ways of coping with life's stressors that often led to self-destructive

              behaviors.

·     

        Indivudual psychotherapy provides a safe setting where people can discuss personal problems without the

             fear of being judged.  This helps members increase their confidence interacting with others and

             simultaneously increase a sense of positive self-esteem.

·     Individual psychotherapy provides an environment where people can release pent up anger and conflicted

             feelings.

·     

While group therapy is an effective intervention for anxiety and mood disturbance problems, some people benefit from combining group therapy with individual psychotherapy sessions.  All prospective group members are initially evaluated to determine that best possible treatment plan for their individual needs.
