COUNSELING, COACHING AND CONSULTING FOR SUCCESSFUL LIVING

Here’s what you can expect from us:
  1. Before we meet with you, you will complete a free, anxiety inventory.  This inventory will give us an idea of how mild, moderate or severe your situation is at that moment.
  2. In your first appointment, you will be asked for a history of the problem and your understanding of its causes and what you have done up to that time to make it better.
  3. You will be asked to allow us to talk to any and all health professionals you have seen for anxiety and related problems.  We are dedicated to coordinated care.  All the professionals you are working with should be pulling for you in the same direction.
  4. We will give you our initial diagnostic impressions.  There are many types of anxiety and you will have the opportunity to ask all your questions.  (For more information on the types of anxiety, see below).  Together, we will develop an initial plan of how to tackle the problem.  Here is a sample of some of the first steps:
    1. You will be asked to sign a release of information for the professionals you have worked with on the problem(s).
    2. After you explain the history of anxiety, we may suggest some additional psychological testing.
    3. We may suggest a visit with your physician for a check-up.  Some medical conditions and medications can cause anxiety.
    4. A review for medication with a psychiatrist or your physician may be in order.
    5. Your description of your situation will suggest the type of anxiety you’re experiencing.  Our plan will be developed to address your specific situation.
    6. We realize, of course, how easy that last sentence of the last paragraph is to write, but how very difficult it can be to actually change the way we are thinking when struggling with Anxiety.  Working with us, you or the one you love can learn how to change those anxious thought patterns and behaviors.

We have a variety of approaches including, but not limited to: E.M.D.R., clinical and medical hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, and Ego State Therapy.  We will draw from these approaches specific techniques for use in session and between sessions to get you the results you need.
