Work is progressive and tailored to the individual. As issues emerge, treatment plans are re-assessed and revised to meet client needs.

If you are experiencing a specific fear or phobia or a generalized state of fear and feel alone and helpless in those moments of dread in which the fear appears to be like an solid wall. If deep inside you are convinced that your fear, weather is fear of driving, of social situations, of going out or being alone, etc. makes you a different, weak kind of person, know that your fear does not define you, neither it needs to be a life sentence. You may experience a new sense of freedom, expansion and self confidence once the fear is addressed and resolved.

Work is going really well. You love your co-workers and the work is challenging and rewarding. But secretly, you might feel embarrassed or anxious during the workday, because it’s harder than you thought taking on new responsibilities. Not because you can’t do them; you can, and you can do them well. But you don’t want to make people uncomfortable. You want to be the kind of boss that’s approachable and a good listener. You’ve had that boss who’s unavailable or distant, or perhaps even dead set on squelching the good ideas of the people they manage. You get anxious or or inhibited because you don’t want to be that kind of boss.
