Depression Treatment

Depression is a serious but very treatable condition. Anyone can become depressed if the circumstances are right but if you’re someone who’s had a lot of trauma or have a family history of depression, you’re at greater risk. Left untreated, depression can leave you feeling empty, hopeless, and isolated from others. It can take away your all of your joy and passion for life. But this doesn’t have to happen. You can feel like yourself again. Read more…


Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety and panic are very common issues for all kinds of people these days, regardless of age, cultural, ethnic, and economic background. Many people feel tremendous pressure to look perfect, live an Instagram-worthy life, and have it all together at home, work, and school. On some level, we know these are unrealistic goals but somehow, we can’t stop comparing ourselves to everyone else who seems to be living a better life than we are. This kind of pressure can fuel tremendous anxiety symptoms that can take over your life. If this sounds like you, please know that anxiety recovery is possible and you can get back to being yourself.

When the trauma is unprocessed, you may often feel suddenly and intensely angry, anxious, or depressed. These symptoms eventually lead to extreme avoidance of triggers and isolating from others. The good news is that it can be treated and you can get your life back. Read more...
