Dear Friend's,Client's and Veterans,
It is our belief
that most everyone may benefit from individual counseling and
psychotherapy to develop greater insights for learning more about
yourself and your relationship dynamics.
In my view, the
counseling process should stimulate new coping mechanisms that are
important to a sense of well being and so forth. On the other hand,
Psychotherapy is a more targeted treatment of a symptom, issue or
problem utilizing a variety of scientific principles and techniques
with the goal of inducing a change in thinking or behavior or for the
reduction of those symptoms towards stabilization and beyond.
These
psychologically related symptoms have apparently caused various
emotional reactions that can significantly affect an individual's
ability for high level functioning, communication and the general
pursuit of happiness.
Oftentimes, people get depressed and
discouraged due to situations and circumstances or have been
traumatized in the past.Perhaps,most commonly people become depressed
over relationships or related disapointments and
losses.Frequently,drugs and alcohol complicate matters for various
physical and psychological reasons and sometimes require detoxification
under medical supervision.
There are other people who are
physically ill and have been prescribed various medications that have
not helped or made things worse and as such require a reevaluation by
competent specialized physicians. In these situations a second or even
a third opinion is indicated.
In the past,many other's have
already attempted counseling, psychotherapy and medicines and have
become more discouraged, hopeless and/or suicidal.
Obviously,
durring these times of crisis, it is generally not advisable to attempt
to make important life or death decisions, since confusion
agitation,anxiety and severe depression are amongst the symptoms that
can interfere with proper thinking or decision making processes.
We
are very interested in assisting and supporting such individuals in
making important assessments about their special situations, so that we
can collectively determine those specialized services or treatment
options that may be available at this special and pivitol time of need
or perhaps a time of desperation.?
However,should your
situation become so urgent or an emergency that you simply cannot wait
to consult with one of our licenced mental health professionals then we
respectfully suggest that you contact 911 for emergencies and recontact us at a later time.
