| Practice Description: |
GET UNSTUCK IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
Are you troubled by the words and actions of other people? Are your thoughts preoccupied with negative assumptions about yourself and others? Over time, this can create feelings of powerlessness and overwhelm, and ultimately, lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression.
QUESTION: what would your love life, family life, academic or professional career look like if the
person/people troubling you did not impact you in a negative way?
Start creating the life you really want and deserve. DO NOT WAIT FOR OTHERS TO CHANGE. Learn how to refocus your thoughts and realize your dreams. Channel all of your time and energy into the person you can influence the most—yourself!
As a therapist working in Babylon, I can offer you guidance and support, whether you are struggling with a mood disorder, symptoms of anxiety/panic, or stress within a professional/personal relationship.
In addition to treating the above conditions, I focus on individual therapy for adolescents and adults affected by others' drug /alcohol use and emotional disorders. Clients can learn to detach from these issues, while still maintaining hopeful and loving relationships. Together we can define the steps necessary to live a more satisfying life…..
