Are You Struggling Mentally, Emotionally, Or Relationally?
Are you struggling to keep up with life’s demands? Are you worried that you’re not living the life you know you deserve? Have you isolated yourself from those around you who care the most?
You may be struggling with anxiety or depression that threatens to disrupt your career and relationships. Perhaps you’re not keeping up with your family obligations and feel that you’ve isolated yourself. It feels as though you’ve lost touch with the relationships that really matter to you. Maybe others have asked if you’re OK or even suggested that you to seek help.
Maybe you’ve turned to alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs in an attempt to cope with anxiety or other difficulties. Even if you haven’t turned to substances, maybe you’ve engaged in other unhealthy habits. Perhaps you’ve had thoughts of not living or even of suicide. Depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders can cloud your judgement, make you less efficient at work, and push you farther away from others.
It’s possible that you have done everything you can think of to help—including talking with friends, clergy, even your family doctor—but to no avail. You may feel frustrated, angry, or hopeless particularly if everyone around you seems fine. Or, maybe your mood has negatively impacted your relationships. Fights with your partner, feeling distant from relatives, or feeling alone in the face of it all.
Problems like these are not unheard of nor are they unsolveable. Help is available. There is hope for you to recapture your sense of success and connection!
Adults Today Face Many Challenges
We know that some people are born with a proneness to experience clinical levels of depression, anxiety and other behavioral health symptoms. Others struggle to meet the demands of everyday life due to stress and other factors. Overall, most adults struggle during some phase of their lives.
Why are so many people struggling? The fast pace of life these days can make it hard to keep up. The workplace is often a source of stress without adequate support for people. The divorce rate is at an all-time high, placing stress on families. More people than ever before face the realities of broken and blended families. Parenting, while an amazing job, can create stress that makes parents feel lost. All of these factors and more have resulted in high rates of anxiety and depression.
We often dream of a time when we will feel that we are coping well, that we are successful and leading a fulfilling life. The fast-pace of life in today’s media-driven, 24-7 world can make that dream seem far from reality. Seldom do adults make time for themselves. We tend to work on our problems in the backs of our minds while driving from one commitment to the next. This goes against our “wiring” so to speak.
Adult Counseling Can Provide A Much-Needed Safe Space
Pressure from everyday life prevents us from creating time and space to consider our goals in life. Running from one thing to the next keeps us from ever setting goals for that life we dream of.
Counseling can serve as a source of self-discovery and growth. Adults can find therapy to be a respite from the pressures of everyday life. As part of our strengths-based, client-centered adult therapy program, we will help you to recognize your unique strengths and connect you to your own internal resources. We will also empower you to challenge any negative self-beliefs you might have internalized.
We believe healthy relationships are key to emotional well-being, so we’ll explore how your depression, anxiety, or other issues might be affecting your relationships (both with others and with yourself). This relationship-oriented approach can help you see yourself and others more clearly and develop new, healthier ways of relating.
Our approach is one that is focused on an in-depth look at relationships, past, present, and future. We help you to explore more deeply how past relationships have helped to define who you are in both positive and negative ways. These relationships serve as templates for present relationships. The work we guide our clients through considers how maladaptive patterns might have developed that impede present-day relationships.
We’re very proud of what our adult therapists and their clients have accomplished together. We have seen adult clients recover or obtain for the first time that life that they deserve! We go the extra mile in helping adults better understand themselves in the context of their relationships.
As you consider adult counseling, you may have some hesitations…
I don’t like the idea that I need professional help.
Unpleasant experiences are part of life. The anxiety, depression, and other difficulties that can result from these experiences are likewise normal and natural. Some people can find their way through without professional help, but others progress more quickly with the support and guidance of an adult psychologist.
Coming in for therapy doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. It just means you could benefit from a bit of extra help. In fact, we consider it a sign of strength to recognize your own limits and to ask for the help you deserve.
Why should I come to Groupworks and not some other adult counseling center?
Every one of our adult psychologists has a doctoral degree, which means they have gone through thousands of hours of advanced training and supervision. This clinical expertise empowers them to provide the highest quality of care.
We have the training in adult psychology that permits us to guide you in a deep look at your own life, your challenges, and your relationships. Beyond our doctoral training, we engage in ongoing continuing education to further refine and hone our skills.
How do I know you can help with my specific issue(s)?
We gather information from each of our potential clients to ensure that we are the best fit for them. If we feel, we can’t be of help for you, we will offer you a quality referral to someone who can. We have a great deal of confidence in our ability to help adults navigate their lives and find happiness. We assure you that we will do everything in our power to help.
