Here are some signs that anxiety might be taking over:
- You feel anxious throughout the day, most days
- It’s affecting your routines—like avoiding places, missing commitments, or withdrawing from responsibilities
- The intensity leads to physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, nausea, or shortness of breath
- You're struggling with sleep, including difficulty falling or staying asleep
Do you feel like you’re running on empty? Struggling to find the motivation to get through the day? Maybe you’re having trouble sleeping—or you find yourself easily irritated and just not feeling like yourself.
You’re not alone. Around 8% of adults will experience major depression at some point in their lives. And while we might wish we could just “snap out of it,” depression is more complex than that. When you're in the midst of it, even imagining a way forward can feel impossible.
The good news is that depression is treatable. With the right support and practical tools, healing can begin—and you can start to feel more like yourself again.
Does the thought of being around others make you feel panicked or uneasy? Do you often worry that people are judging you—or feel like you don’t quite fit in? Social anxiety can leave you feeling isolated, self-conscious, and unsure of your place in the world.
It’s not uncommon for social anxiety to occur alongside depression, panic attacks, or even substance use. Over time, it can impact your confidence, relationships, and even your career or academic opportunities.
The good news is, social anxiety is highly treatable. With support, you can learn strategies to ease panic, build self-esteem, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Significant life changes—like the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the collapse of a dream—can bring deep grief. And one of the most difficult parts of grieving is wondering whether what you’re feeling is normal.
The truth is, there’s no single way to grieve. Everyone experiences loss differently. For some, grief may show up as sadness or emotional numbness. For others, it may take the form of physical symptoms like fatigue, loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, or mental fog. And for many, the effects of grief linger far longer than expected.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. With compassionate support, we can help you find ways to honor your loss, process your pain, and move toward healing—at your own pace.
Adolescence is a time of intense pressure—whether it’s academic expectations, peer dynamics, family challenges, or social media. For some teens, overwhelming stress can lead to self-harming behaviors as a way to cope with emotional pain.
It’s not always easy to spot, but here are some signs that a teen may be struggling:
- Unexplained scars or fresh cuts and bruises
- Keeping sharp objects nearby
- Wearing long sleeves even in hot weather
- Difficulty maintaining friendships or relationships
- Expressing feelings of hopelessness or emotional numbness
If you notice these signs, know that help is available. With the right support, teens can learn healthier ways to manage their emotions, build resilience, and find a sense of hope and stability.

Trauma and PTSD Therapy
Trauma can leave a lasting impact—emotionally, mentally, and physically.
You might find yourself experiencing:
- Distressing thoughts or intrusive memories
- Nightmares or vivid flashbacks
- A sense of losing control when recalling past events
- Avoidance of people, places, or situations linked to the trauma
- Difficulty concentrating or staying present
- A constant sense of danger, even in safe environments
- A strong need to control your surroundings
If any of these resonate with you, know that you’re not alone—and healing is possible. Our team is trained through the International Association of Trauma Practitioners, and we’re here to provide compassionate, trauma-informed care as you begin your path toward recovery.
