My Answers

Can therapy cause more anxiety?
It sure can. While there are therapies specific to treating anxiety, often psychotherapy for new patients is scary and quite uncomfortable. Being around a stranger sharing problems and concerns you often do not tell even your closest friends and family can lead to quite a bit of anxiety. The goal for therapy is to establish hope, trust, and safety in a professional context. A hope is that with established trust with your provider, that initial anxiety will go down. READ MORE
Can you help someone with severe anger issues?
Absolutely. Anger is one of many emotions that can often be hard to manage and unprocessed. Often, it is a secondary response to other emotions, such as shame or embarrassment. Learning how to control anger is a therapeutic context, whether short or long term, depends on the severity of the problem and the specific goals for the patient. READ MORE
What is a good treatment for depression?
Great question. The treatment for depression depends on the length of the depressive episode, the severity of symptoms, and how these symptoms impact your quality of life. while individual therapies (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as an example) help treat depressive symptoms, it is important for a provider to consider pharmacotherapy if symptoms do not improve and persist. Talk with your primary care provider, psychiatrist, and/or individual therapist to discuss what is the best course for you. READ MORE
