Mental Health Resources

Understanding a concern is a good first step. Below are the areas we work in — each with a page of its own — a short guide to three concerns we often treat, and trusted organizations for information and support.

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety Disorders: A Common Challenge

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health concerns in the United States. These conditions span a broad spectrum, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and specific phobias. Furthermore, many individuals experience depression and anxiety simultaneously, compounding the complexity and impact on daily life.

Recognizing the Impact of Anxiety

Anxiety is distinct from the typical feelings of nervousness or worry that everyone experiences from time to time. It manifests in various ways and can have a profound impact on an individual's life. Some common symptoms of anxiety include:

• Persistent and excessive worry
• Intrusive and/or distressing memories
• Intense episodes of panic and fear
• Recurring unsettling nightmares
• Physical manifestations, such as nausea, shortness of breath, restlessness, and heart palpitations

Left unaddressed, these symptoms can severely diminish overall quality of life, physical health, and emotional well-being.

Finding Relief Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Other Evidence-Based Interventions

Anxiety responds well to treatment. Our clinical approach focuses on helping you regain agency by identifying and addressing the foundational drivers of your distress.

Our goal is to empower you to take charge of your anxiety and lead a more fulfilling, balanced life. If you or a loved one is struggling, compassionate professional support is available. If this sounds familiar, we can help.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders affect people of every gender and age, and they are among the most medically serious mental health conditions. They present in several distinct forms, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), and body dysmorphia.

Key indicators include a distorted body image, severely restricted food intake, an obsessive pursuit of thinness, an inability to maintain a healthy weight, and destructive cycles of bingeing and purging. Purging behaviors may involve self-induced vomiting, overuse of diuretics, or compulsive over-exercising. Because eating disorders compromise every area of physical and emotional health, timely clinical intervention is critical.

Therapy helps break these harmful cycles by uncovering underlying causes and reframing distorted beliefs surrounding food, body image, and self-worth. We provide support to help you rebuild a steadier relationship with food and with your body.

Relationship Issues

Even strong relationships experience friction from life's ongoing demands. Relationship strain often stems from domestic stress, parenting disagreements, communication breakdowns, role imbalances, or breaches of trust such as infidelity. Unresolved conflict frequently spills over into personal well-being, social connections, and professional focus.

Therapy provides a structured, constructive environment to build healthier relational dynamics. Our services guide couples and families in identifying root conflicts, strengthening communication, and restoring mutual respect, whether you are working through challenges individually, with a partner, or as a family unit. If you would like help, alone, with a partner, or as a family, you can schedule an appointment online or start with a complimentary 20-minute video visit with our intake specialist, Alethea Braun-Dunagan.
