Having difficulty motivating oneself, is it tough for you to get up in the morning because of the overwhelming thoughts and feelings that constantly weight you down, do you feel depressed or anxious, are you abusing alcohol, prescribed drugs and or illegal drugs as a means of coping or dealing with life. Maybe you are abusing other things like food, sex and or gambling as a means of coping and you just don't know how to stop.

My psychology focuses on one's ability to grow, gain stable emotional health and have satisfying relationships. I see clients dealing with anxiety, depression, co-dependency, coping skills, self-esteem, life transitions, grief, crisis management, post-traumatic stress, and geriatric issues. I help my clients separate their thinking from their feelings, to be able to see what is real from what they are feeling. That is, what is going on inside themselves; introducing the opportunity to live without anxiety, fear, and depression. Feelings are often easily confused for reality and it is helpful to be able to recognize the difference.

Eating, sleeping, and behavioral patterns you are doing seem out of control or off right now.
You are struggling with day-to-day challenges of life & overwhelmed. Life feels so scattered, sad, and stressful. Sharing these difficulties with others seems impossible. No one seems to really understand, nor do they have the insight or patience to really help. Staying optimistic about things getting better is not working anymore. You've done that for the last several years and you feel stuck. Sleepless nights thinking about reaching goals you believed were possible are now unbearable. Figuring it out on your own is not working, and trying another approach alone feels defeating. Knowing where to turn next brings on anxiety.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
