The assistance of a skilled and caring therapist can have many benefits.

Individual therapy can assist you with the following: Abuse Addiction and recovery Adoption Anger Anxiety Body image or distortion Career confusion Care-giving Chronic or life-threatening illness Co-dependency Conflicts with spouses, partners, family members, co-workers and others Creative blocks Cultural identity and expression Depression Disability Divorce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614fa0816661bc43635d4820/1633670332905-7S4NDC95CAGCH4N2IX29/unsplash-image-YFItC9nQK7o.jpg Services - Family Sessions Our family lives can be tremendously gratifying and enriching. They can also become a source of tension, especially during periods of stress. Such responses to stress are often normal, but you may need some help from time to time. Families seek the support of psychotherapy for many reasons. Most come wishing to resolve chronic tensions that have developed with certain members or the family as a whole. Sometimes these tensions are fueled by change and loss, and at other times, long-standing difficulties in mediating competing or conflicting needs within the family. We understand how inevitable these kinds of hardships can be, even among families who love each other deeply. If you're struggling with your brother, sister, parents, nuclear, extended, chosen or step-family, psychotherapy can help. Families often seek therapy for: A history of abuse Addiction or problematic drug and alcohol use Adjustments to change related to losses, separation, adoption, marriage, remarriage, separation, divorce, relocation or financial or employment stresses Care of children with special needs, aging parents or an ill family member A child's transition to adolescence or young adulthood Changes in family structure Conflicts between siblings or parents Difficulties with anger and emotional regulation Difficulties with schooling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614fa0816661bc43635d4820/1633670483658-HVACXUT9UABXPEF23786/unsplash-image-kV5njT0Hu9M.jpg Services - Children and Adolescent Sessions Even children in very loving families can experience emotional difficulties. It can be profoundly distressing to see your child struggle, and not know how to respond, or to try and help, but see them continue to suffer. Fortunately, psychotherapy can help. Since children process their experience differently than adults, psychotherapy typically involves some element of play. Therapeutic play offers children a gentle way to process whatever may be upsetting them. By observing a child's orientation towards play, a therapist can begin to understand and respond to emotional communications from the child that are not always accessible through language. As children become older, therapy may develop to include more conversation or discussion, or the use of art, poetry or drama as tools. These more expressive mediums can help teenager process the bewildering and sometimes intense emotions of their teenage years. They can also provide a forum for addressing any underlying difficulties a teen may be experiencing at home, in school or in their relationships with others. If your child is experiencing any of the challenges listed below, it may be a sign that they need additional support. Academic or school difficulties Anger toward others Anxiety Bed-wetting Chronic rebelliousness or disregard for others Chronic fear Cutting Depression Difficulties with peer or sibling relationships Difficulties eating or sleeping Difficulties processing changes in the family after divorce or remarriage Frequent lying or stealing Impulsivity Preoccupation with loss Nightmares Suicidality Withdrawal from family and friends https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1591890351443-9BFPVD8JAZDMEYXJNIIQ/image-asset.jpeg Services - “In working with Jennifer, I have observed her to have a compassionate and empathetic approach with her clients.
