 ANXIETY & DEPRESSION GUIDANCE

1.  Face it – Depression and stress affect your emotions, your physical wellness,  the quality of your life and relationships. Here are just a few ways stress can affect you: relationship problems, intimacy difficulties, depression, anxiety, heart attacks, stroke, high blood pressure, and immune system disturbances. Even common colds last longer when we are stressed! 

 Symptoms of Depression and Stress:

• Increased frustration, irritability, edginess
• Sad mood
• Diminished sexual desire or performance
• Excess anxiety, worry, guilt, nervousness
• Reduced work efficiency or productivity
• Difficulty concentrating, racing thoughts
• Feeling overloaded or overwhelmed
• Frequent headaches, jaw clenching or pain
• Neck ache, back pain, muscle spasms
• Heartburn, stomach pain, nausea

if you are experiencing any of these symptoms of stress, consider getting some Stress Counseling support. There are many techniques and strategies to help you reduce the stress in your life while maintaining and improving your health, productivity and joyfulness.

 One out of every two marriages ends in divorce – no matter how deeply in love people are on their wedding day.....

 Often premarital counseling is overlooked or overshadowed by wedding plans.

And while the wedding planning is very exciting, it is crucial to make sure you and your partner are on the same page with your core beliefs – and have ways of navigating the inevitable differences.

You certainly will not agree on everything – in fact your differences are a lot of what brought you together. But knowing how to discuss the tender issues in ways that bring you closer is what makes the difference between a so-so marriage and a great marriage. 

Premarital Counseling  and Newlywed Counseling Can Help With:

• Resolving old hurts, misunderstandings, and betrayals
• Preparing for the inevitable stressors (inlaws, finances, work-life balance)   
• Infidelity,Cheating or Trust Issues?

COUPLE SESSIONS FOR ONE

 Relationships can be stressful. We know that. Children, finances, in-laws, intimacy are all areas that can cause conflict in even the best of relationships. And as counselors, we have devoted our careers to helping people navigate these issues and be happier. We know that talk therapy can help. But what if your mate doesn’t want to come to couples counseling? What then?

There is great news. For more than 25 years, we have helped relationships improve when one open and willing partner comes to counseling with the goal of improving the relationship. Yes, that is right. 

We call it “couples sessions for one!”

FAMILY SESSIONS

Have fighting, worry and tension have taken over your family life? Seeking  family counseling can help.

Truly, nothing matters more to you than the health and happiness of your family. Yet we often fail to recognize how important a strong, supportive family unit is to the well being of each individual within the family. That’s where our counseling can be a tremendous help to both individuals and families who are suffering.

It’s so tempting to ask: I’m not the one in our family having trouble—so why do I need therapy? But a family is more than the sum of its parts. A problem affecting one family member may be the cause—or the symptom—of problems and unhealthy patterns elsewhere in the family. You can find help through our family counseling to work on getting things back on track.  

We also see clients who are interested in using family counseling as a tool to help avoid potential problems in the event of major life changes. When divorced people who have children from prior marriages decide to remarry, for instance, they often choose to go through Yael VanGruber  family counseling in order to talk through the hopes, expectations and concerns of everyone involved.

Changes like these are never seamless or pain-free, as much as we’d like to think. Family counseling is a positive way to try and build a solid foundation for the new family you’re creating and show that you’re there to support one another and get off on the right foot together.
